Perhaps a Grand Junction to St. Louis then back on 70 to Denver, hummmm.
-
So what does one think it would cost to do this...
Columbus to SF - Three Days - Could do it in 2 but is 2400 miles but would be toast on arrival for days.
MTTS - 14 Days
Boston to Columbus - One Day
So we'd be looking at probably 18 hotel nights.
40 some meals
5000 miles of fuel - Rough estimate - @ 22MPG ~230 Gallons
Assort bric a brak along the way. -

I will be in Florida on vacation when the MTTS train of MINIs rolls through PA so I will miss it again.
Oh well, everyone have FUN. -
When I did LA to Denver and back in 2010, I decided not to add up all the costs but it does get expensive (I did 14 days and 3500 miles). I would estimate $4,500 - $5,000 for SF to Boston and back (or vise versa) for two people. For 2010 MTTS, we eat breakfast at morning launch parties, had cheap lunches (usually Subway), and dinners were frequently covered by a sponsor party or we ate cheap. Hotels were the big expense. We averaged around $130 a night. Plus there are expenses for side trips/sightseeing tourist type things.

I wish this was a few weeks earlier. My job always has the first 2 weeks of July off.

OK,,,heading north during my 74th year on this planet, to Bflo., where I was born, to meet up w/other Mini owners. Looking forward to it !

I love the San Juan Mountains.
See you in July. -
Mr & Mrs Salt are driving out to San Francisco then will travel with MTTS to Boston. We are looking forward to the adventure. It is great to be retired. We figure we will travel about 10,000 miles. Our last big trip took a year and we burned 10,100 gallons of diesel in our boat. We expect the MINI will do better than 6/10 a mile to a gallon.
-
I am going to figure out if I can make the final three stages; Buffalo, Bethlehem, and Boston. Definitely interested.

My wife, Sue, and I plan on driving up from So. Florida and meeting up with the group in Memphis on 8/3 and going the rest of the way to "Beantown". I know it's still early; but, if anyone's organizing a convoy or even thinking of it from GA, TN or NC, we'd like to join in. Please keep us in mind and let me know.

OK.
