    Default Alachua to St. Louis?

    Any alachua residents going to the Midwest Workshop in St. Louis this weekend? Anyone willing to stop by alachua one evening this week and pick up a camera for me and transport it to St. Louis? Andreas Hagberg, in Alachua, sold me his camera and strobe (pending payment), and rather than ship it, I thought maybe someone could bring it along.

    thanks,

    I misunderstood the topic title since it's relatively early, and thought to myself "Goodness, that's a long traverse...".

    Please do not litter. I am heavily armed.

    From the Mill Creek put in to St. Louis it is 869 miles OTR (over the road via Interstate). Using ccr with dpvs and considering set points & stages, maybe it be triple that distance, considering the conduits are passable ! If planned properly, you could viably egress along the way for meals...ie: DD-Waffle House-Applebees etc ! Of course you would need wet phones to communicate with top side support ! Gee, I just don't know if this is do-able ?

    And thats just the upstream. The downstream at Alachua is better, goes to Tulum, I hear.

    Aaah, that explains it..
    The downstream tunnel of Alachua runs just about 300 yards from my home, and every week there is a bunch of Mexican guys mowing the lawn outside my window.. Coincidence? I think not.
