TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 When are you leaving? Maybe some of us can travel together. We just pick a time and meet on 81 at the Pilot Service Station Mark and I are leaving Sunday morning, we usually try to get to the meeting spot by 7:00 AM Anyone want to join us? We do stop to pee, if you have a bladder of steel you may not like riding with us Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyretrip Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Still leaving Sunday to head down? I heard you might be breaking it up for Saturday / Sunday. @AzFlower and I have been thinking about that as well and trying to find a dog friendly place to split the drive up with. We're bringing both MINIs this year and two dogs so we cannot switch off driving like we did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done this trip plenty of times in one shot, I just prefer breaking it up. If we have to use the professional dog sitter, who's $70 a night we'll probably just leave Sunday morning.
