I need some help from Kossacks to make this happen, though. If you're interested please take a look below the fold.I'll be driving from New York City to Birmingham AL on Friday. I'll pick up a rental truck and supplies either in Birmingham or in a city or town closer to Slidell. I plan to arrive in Slidell by mid-day on Saturday to drop off the supplies. Barbara has given me contact information and an address for folks down there who I can deliver the supplies to.
I need some help to pull this off, though. I'm trying to get a friend of mine to help with the driving, but I'm not certain that he will be able to make it. Is there anyone else in New York or along the route who'd be willing to help drive if my friend can't make it? This is going to be a long haul with a lot of night driving in order to make it happen in the time frame I've got available and I don't think I can manage it by myself.
Also, I'm going to pay for the truck and as many supplies out of my own pocket as I can, but I know that it will never be enough. Are there folks who'd be willing to buy supplies and meet up with me to deliver them to Slidell? If anyone is willing I could make plans to collect supplies at a point near Birmingham to drive them in. I won't be able to drive all over to pick stuff up, but I think something could be coordinated.
I'll post a link with the route that I'll be taking for anyone who's interested. If you're interested in helping make this happen please post. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.
