Well the time has come to start school again. The thing is, I will be going to school in Texas again 
The bad thing is that this is costing me pretty much everything I have. I have had to take out an enormous loan just to cover school. For the trip back I DID NOT want to drive the X towing a small trailor. I wanted to rent a U-haul and tow. But U-Haul wants over $2200 for the truck and trailor alone. So what Im doing is using a moving company that will send my stuff to Texas and everything is included (gas, tolls, driver) for $1900. This means I have to drive to Texas, but at least I dont have to tow this time. What Im starting this thread for is trying to save a little money by asking if some of you guys can help a fellow Explorer enthusiast out by providing a place for me to stop and sleep at overnight. In return I can wash your X, mow your lawn, help paint the kitchen, take your daughter out to a movie, anything. I will be spending a big chunk on gas alone driving an X on 33's and any help would be appriciated. Basically my route is going to be from NYC to northern GA to Huntsville TX. I will be leaving around the 18th-20th of August with my first stop in Fredricksburg, VA where I already have a place to stay. After that I will be driving about 400 miles a day through NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, then TX. So lets see if we can help Tex get back to Texas!!!
