Wanna put an MVS member (and his rad dog) up for the night??

Post by LASteve »

The XC has 180K+ on her, but I am making my first ever cross-continent journey this coming week, driving from LA to Baltimore. (Have 1 FL-TX & 17 divide passes under my belt)
I'm curious if there are any MVS members who might be willing to host me and my dog Myra for the night in the following cities??

Albuquerque, NM & Springfield, MO.

My planned route will take me as follows- LA-ABQ-SPR-BAL
I'll be in ABQ the evening of the 12th, and Springfield, the 13th.
I'm aiming for no more than 12ish hours of driving per day and since gas is gonna be a killer, I'd like to defer hotel costs. Myra and I are a pretty laid-back team, and both clean, respectful, and friendly. (She's well trained, socialized, and has no problems sleeping in the garage or outside)
We'll also be out by 7-7:30am.

I'm also fielding suggestions on decent eats in those towns.

Also, I should add that I will be in Baltimore for 3 or so months. My girlfriend is out there working and since I freelance, I figured I'd come hang out, keep her company, and explore a town I've never been to.
We'll be living in the harbor area between Fells Point and Little Italy. I'd love to meet some other members in the area and talk Volvo's or your favorite Blue Crab recipes.

Here's Myra and I.

If you ever want to explore DC, let me know. I work right near the National Mall.

J, I'm actually in DC pretty often. That's a part of the reason I decided to head out.
I'll shoot you a PM when I'm settled and head down to meet up.
