I'm at Lake of the Ozarks 65020.  About 2:45 southeast of KC.  I'm well off of the ideal route from KC to StL on route 70, but keep me in mind.  Worst case 65020 to KC to StL back to 65020 is a 10 hour day, and I can figure out how to make it happen.

I am available if the chosen route comes through central IL. I am located just off highway 36 that goes from Indiana border and crossess IL going through Decatur and over to Springfield and on east from there.

It has been so long I cannot remember the Hi way between between Springfield and Champaign.  

But I do remember flying along, gliding on ice at 120 +- MPH Manny times at 2am in my 89 Firebird Formula V8

Looks like I-74 out of Indy. I could do a leg of that. The only day that I couldn't are Fridays, I am committed to watching my Grandchildren every Friday. We can co-ordinate as people commit.

Are you talking about Indy toward Columbus?  If so, I can go into the Indiana HTF and ask if we can get the other "half" covered.

What am I thinking,  duh. The dog is in MO, I am all screwed up in my directions. I can meet someone and take the dog to Indy or some such leg, is what I am thinking. Sorry about my confusion!!!

Glad you posted in the Ohio HTF, about all I frequent here...

I am right off I70 west of Columbus, Ohio can meet reasonable further west and get close to destination.  Have a job with a decent schedule to work around, have a pup at home (who's missing his brother we lost last fall) so probably could accommodate a pit stop/over night rest.  My email should work... should

I'm still really confused.

Where can you meet someone?  

Right now we have (probably) Kansas City to St. Louis covered.  We need St. Louis to Indy, and Indy to Columbus.  Looks like someone in Ohio can go from Columbus up toward the Akron area.

Can you come west at all to meet Loki?  We have someone who can potentially move Loki from the Columbus area up toward you a ways.

He will be coordinating the transport proper.  He is working today, so I am filling all the holes I can while I'm home for Sunday.

Google maps shows me 2 hours 16 minutes away from St. L. And 2 hours 26 minutes from Indy. So, about 7 hours round trip not counting rest stops and some time to walk the dog and make sure he is relaxed and cool to ride with me. I am thinking that it's a bit much, so hopefully someone can help shorten the distance.

That's absolutely too much, if you are doing the math for you, in the middle, going the whole way, St. L to Indy and back to you.  I think that is MOAR than 7 hours.

(I don't know...just assuming you are kind of in the middle which means it looks more like 9 hours to me by the time you get back home.

Just trying to understand WHERE you are and what the best start point and end point are for you.

I'm in the Toledo area, which puts me a ways off the intended route and it looks like cotter has the Columbus area covered.

If you do end up routing through northern Ohio, I can throw in. I'll just need some notice if it's going to be during the week.

I can also back up cotter through central Ohio, with some planning, if that becomes necessary. Say from the Dayton area to the Ashland/Wooster area.

Hi all. I'll be setting up the route map as soon as it's decided which one it is. I'll get the legs plotted as filled. Please be sure to include phone numbers and be on the lookout for a 972xxx4320 incoming. I'm pretty sure it will ID me as Wil Rxxxxxd.

I believe it will be St. Louis, Indy, Columbus, Akron, Youngstown.

Delay is on me this time.  I'm running nuts with hair on fire on the decent days I have to work, coming home after dark.

@cotter6015

How far west could you go?

I ask because @RECONSIX can go south of Akron a ways as needed, so I'm wondering if you could go to Indy (I'm not sure how long that drive is) and then bring Loki just north of Columbus to meet either ReconSix or the next driver?

If so, we just have a hole between St. Louis and Indy.  I thought we had someone there, but he is too far out of the way for it to make any sense at all.

If Indy is too far, just say so.   Nobody should have to do anything extreme.  Lots of folks in these areas, we just have to get the word out that the need is there.

Last night I chatted with RECONSIX.
It seems Loki's new family plans to feed him home cooked food/meals instead of dry food.

I was floored over that!!!
I am wondering if they could take me in as well :).

Loki is going to a great family.
