Most of you know about this already... but in a couple of weeks I'm packin my car up and moving out to Ft. Collins, Colorado. After living in Virginia for 20 years, I'm ready to get the heck outta here. Anyways, the point of this post is two-fold... First, I want to let everyone know that I'll be offline for a while during the move. I'll be leaving my home here on June 18th to spend a couple of days with my family before hitting the road west. I'll begin the trek to Colorado on the 20th. It'll probably take me at least two days to make the 1,600 mile drive. That'll put me in CO on a Saturday or Sunday, which means I'll have to wait 'til Monday to get into my new apartment. I should be back up and running soon after that.

Ok, the second and more fun reason for this post is this: I wanted to post my driving route to see if any of you live anywhere near by! If so, it would be really cool to stop off and meet you. =)



Post here or PM me and sound off if you're anywhere near that purple line! =D

/me lives in Florida.
Meh... that rules me out. Not like any of you would wanna meet a boring guy like me anyhow.

Wow, thats one helluva drive! Good luck, and make sure to stop at some cheezy tourist traps, like the Great Ball of Mud, and what not.

Looks to me like Vitamin D lives about *checks map again* 100 miles or so from you. Congrats on the move 'Rinn, and have fun at your new place.

Doh! If I were visiting my family in Southern Illinois, I could've been able to meet up with ya. However, I won't be up there until August... Anyhow, like Epyon said, /me lives in Florida as well. But to think, the furthest west I've ever been is St. Louis, MO. o.O Perhaps one day I'll find myself in Colorado to visit. X-D

Futhest west I've been is California. Furthest east I've been is Okinawa Japan.

Wow, it seems alot of us are in Florida, where exactly is everyone?

I'm in Miami. (altho I'll be in Houston, TX between mid July to late August)

You should take a detour to Florida 'Rinn, have some fun down here in tropical weather =)

he he

He'll first have to pass Mute, then me though.

looks like a cool adventure rinn, im sure you'll have loads of fun, wont be anywhere nere me in sunny california though, to bad for you! its bikini season

dang man thats a long trip, hope everything goes as planned. GoodLuck!

*rolls into thread!* Yo! Yao! (Running gag last night ) Anyway, that's cool that you'll be in teh CO. As you can see by that map there, CO Springs is about the same distance from Denver that Fort Collins is. (about an hour) So, We will have to chill sometime. Also though, I go to school in Greeley, which is actually quite close to Fort Collins. Either would work. We must Chill. See ya round! *rolls out thread*

be sure to turn a left at jefferson city and stop in at moe's!! and say hi to hoimer for me..... ok now i've been watchign far too many simpsons episodes....

I live in Lake Mary, FL...what about you DarkEpyon?

I'll be moving on July 7th though...back to Arizona :( I lived there for 12 years, then came here, and now I'm going back again...It's going to be hard though becuase I'll be a senior there

Drive under the speed limit.

No driving under the influence.

If your sleepy, stop and get some rest.

'Sall I can think of right now.

Take care, and godspeed, Rinn. And Ripper, I'm in Avon Park.

Have a safe trip...let us know when you get settled back in.

Well Rinn is off on his journey. He tried to post his farewell here but the board was having a rare downtime. He managed to catch me with a private message on Voodoo Moose. Here is what he had to say.

Heya, I'm about to leave for Colorado.  I tried to post a good-bye on ATHQ, but it looks like the board was having some trouble right as I hit the post button. >.< Anyways, tell everyone I said good-bye.  I'll be back online as soon as I can. =) See you on the other side of the country!

Have a safe and fun trip Rinn

Pleasant journey and such.
Say "heyo" to Zorya.

Actually I think Rinn would say "Whee-Hoo!"

Hey Sainty, long time no see bro!

Hey everybody! =D I made it to Colorado safely. I got here Saturday evening around 6pm local time. I've been staying with Zorya for the past two days, but I just moved into my new place today. Everything is going great getting set up and stuff. The only real bummer is that I won't have an internet connection until July 7th. =( But the good news there is that it will be a 640k DSL line! =D So hopefully my days of laggy-PSO are over.

Anyways, I just wanted to check in and let you all know I was still alive. ^.~ I probably won't be able to post or play online much until I get wired in my new place. But you can bet your bottom dollar I'll see you all on the 7th. =D

'Til then, take care and maybe I'll catch you at one time or another.

Whee-hoo!!

p.s. Kansas SUCKS! Nothing but 430 agonizing miles of wheat fields.

I know I'm kind of late in posting this(I just joined the forums a few days ago), but the route you took had you sandwiched between the two areas where I live and where my mom's family lives. My mom's family lives in Selmer, Tenessee and that's on the bottom of the map. Me, I'm much further up north in the cool(or at least it should be. It's gonna be 90 degrees tomorrow and it's not gonna get much cooler tonight) city of Detroit, MI. I just wanted to post since I am on that map. I'm glad you had a safe trip and I look forward to seeing you on PSO when you return. Forgive me if I'm being too curious but how long was the drive? It takes almost half a day (around 12 hrs) to drive fromt Detroit to Selmer but I love falling asleep in the back because I can't drive yet.

Hey, coolness, welcome to the wonderful (most of the time) world of DSL. I have gotten some really really laggy nights a few times, but they usually only last a few (long and painful) hours when I want to play at night. You get yourself a static IP? Some ISPs are really stingy about that. I am lucky that my ISP only goes on staic IPs.

welcome back - it's good to know that everything went accordingly - Colorado is a nice place, i visited some relatives on my mother's side of the family several years before; i remember the mountains, crisp air - it made me realize that my body needed more work to hang with the locals - air be thin, says i.. >.<

lol, by the time you get set-up to play PsO again - i should have a keyboard *sigh* -.- time can be a cruel mistress when i least need it.. ;p

Glad to hear you made it without a hitch.

Haha, it's totaly not like that. (even if I wish it was ^.~) Besides, I've been in my own place since this past Monday.

Nah, like I said... no internet connection for me until July 7th. I'm still playing quite a bit offline solo and multi with Z and friends. As fun as it all is, I miss you all a great deal and can't wait to get back online.

See you all soon!

You guys must be tearing up offline cmode then.

Well, I'm late too, but I wanted to say yay that you got where you were going safe, and my husband left VA about 2 years ago too (to come to FL) Which leads me to say...yeah there are a lotta ppl from FL here...O_o
