Trip from Springfield MO area to Medford Oregon

PaulOriginal Poster

Feb 2, 2025

I'll be traveling from Marshfield MO to Medford OR. One way; I will not be making the return trip. I'll be leaving Marshfield between the 10th and the 14th of February.

I'm looking for an adult male traveling companion (21 or older); I am 70. A driver's license, proof of insurance, and the ability to drive a manual transmission would be helpful and appreciated -- but not required.

The ride is free but you'll have to pay for your own food. We can share lodging costs.

Because of the time of year (winter), I'll be taking the southern route through Flagstaff AZ and Bakersfield CA. This trip is about 2,250 miles and will require about 33 hours of driving. We will probably spend three or four nights on the road. (See image)

I have a small car and there will not be a lot of room for luggage. (See image)

Except for a few cities, public nudity is fairly acceptable.

Images.

Why do these images keep getting deleted?

One is a map.

The other is a car.

What rule is being violated by these images?

Loading everything into a POD. They'll take it away and store it until I need it and then bring it to my new place.
Leaving on the 19th.

So you will only bring a small amount of clothing, personal care items, medication, etc., with you when you drive to Oregon?
Are you getting rid of most of what you won't need before you put what you want in storage?

Going to bring as much in my car as I can manage. That's pretty much all I'll have until I move into my new place. Of course, I can buy food.
I have very little clothing -- I'll bring all of it in the car with me.
