The following CLC members are scheduled to Caravan to the Crawl:
Barry H.
Jeff D.
William G.
Lash L.
Tentative plans are to head out on Thursday mid to late afternoon from somewhere on Lakeland Dr.
The route is tentatively:
Lakeland Dr (25) to Louisville 4-lane
14 across the state line 2-lane
17 to Carrolton 2-lane
86 to Gordo 2-lane
82 to Tuscaloosa 4-lane
20 to B'ham 4-lane Interstate
65 to GrayRock 4-lane Interstate
I just don't want to be on 20 doing 60 to 65 mph and getting blown off the road by semis doing 80 the whole way. As a percentage, the 2-lane roads will only be around 30% of the trip. Give us your feedback if you have a better route.
I will have the following spares in my 40:
Fuel Pump
Water Pump/Pulleys/Fan Clutch combo
Plug Wires
Assorted Fluids
Engine and Chassis Factory Service Manuals
I will also have a couple gallons of water and gas
It would be great if everyone had working CBs to chat on the trip and alert others to any issues. I will probably use it most to ask for another pee-break!
Post up if you are with us!

thats the good stuff.
) and am trying to get a truck together to make the ride. i have an idea for your route. to save some confusion,head to brooksville and take sr 388 to pickensville,this will turn into hyw 86 once you get into alabama and run you straight into carrollton and ultimately to hwy 82. also,when you get into northport (just west of tuscaloosa) at the 1st redlight take a right onto the toll road and spend the $1.25 and save yourselves a bunch of redlights!
with some long weekends (and an insane amount of luck) i hope to have atleast one of my trucks ready by october and we'll see ya there. btw if you have any questions,,,i'm from pickens co,al,,,, or want to tell me to mind my own 
business,fell free to comment!! later
