Hi, 2-22dud.
I'm only driving from San Francisco to Woodland, not far at all. But I'm flying from Brisbane, Queensland, DownUnder to San Francisco. There are at least a couple of others coming over from this area too, maybe even some from further West or South in Downunder.There was a warning bulletin posted here on another thread about a possible 'alien invasion' from DownUnder. LOL.

Any advances on this travel distance? LOL.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Deas. It is 11520km from Brisbane to Sacramento. 11587km from Dunedin, NZ to Sacramento, but anyone from South Africa wins hands down 16000km +. Uk and europe are only 8000km ish away. Guess that is "over top" via the North Pole?!!

Hi, Cat-astrophe.
I guess you are talking straight line distances here. My flight both ways takes me via Auckland in Aotearoa, the Land Of The Long White Cloud. Dunno why - see plenty of Kiwis over here without seeing more there. LOL.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi, 7Upuller.
Right on, M8. They are the 'miles' done by the smaller Cat crawlers, shorter by about 3/8's of a mile due to the smaller size of these machines and their 'shorter legs'. Usually restricted to D2's and under, there has been a move lately to have D3's and 931's included in the list of those crawlers which are eligible to use these shorter miles.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi, Cat-astrophe.
I suspect that Quaint-a** may not have paid the fuel bill and were expecting me to pay it, if the difference in fares is any indication. About $700.00 cheaper with 'K1W1 Hang-gliding'. I don't like the flying kangaroo enough to make them a present of $700.00 of my 'hard-earned'. LOL.

Wish I could make it to the show. 😞

Exchange rate and lack of said financial means curtail me no end...

But then, I could have won the prize for traveling furthest to get there...

You guy going, do enjoy it though!

I've been looking forward to the show ever since I heard about it. My dad is coming with me, he is driving down from Nebraska Tuesday to here in Dallas, TX and then Wednesday we are flying to Sacramento. I have never been to California before, we plan on doing a little site seeing in San Fransico on
Wed & Thur. Any suggestions for the must see tourist attractions? Hope to meet many of you at the show & banquet dinner.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
