    :banana Anyone in Metro Atlanta area driving north to Virginia to hike I need a favor.

    Anyone from the Metro Atlanta area that might be driving up to Northern Virginia between Waynesboro and PennMar park to hike I need a small favor.

    I have a package that needs a ride from Atlanta to Virginia.

    It is 4 feet long, 18 inches wide, and 56lbs.

    Anyone with a pickup truck or SUV that might be able to help me out by giving this package a ride I would appreciate.

    I can offer you shuttle services, showers, re-supply, emergency trail side assistance, and other things in return for your kindness.

    I will buy you a tank of gas or $40 worth if you would able to help me.

    THANKS

    AARON

    Default Ups?

    UPS will ship that and guarantee the delivery too. USPS, FedEx, etc etc, all will deliver. It is legal isn't it?

    and ups/fedex are not always very gentle with your freight eitheir.

    Default packaging

    I ship about 3 million dollars of product a year via UPS and FedEx, incidents of freight damage are extremely rare. YMMV

    I trust what the intrepid Mr Aaron is shipping is legal and everything...

    It sure is legal!!

    It is an ARB BULL BAR for the front of my Jeep Cherokee.

    I dont want to ship it... ballon freight and heavy weight charge!!

    I would rather fill some ones tank with gas a few times for there trouble, and if worse comes to worse I will wind up driving down there to get it!!

    PLEASE SOME ONE HELP WITH A RIDE FOR THIS THING!!

    Default Short, Wide, and Ultra-light

    Am delighted to hear that we're talking about an automotive accessory.....from Twofiddy's original description of his unusual "package", it sounded like he was trying to divest himself of a rather oddly-built hiking companion.

    I was going to suggest that he be a bit kinder, let her down easy, and pay for a Greyhound ticket North.

    Glad to see I was evidently mistaken. Geez, four feet long by eighteen inches across, 56 pounds soaking wet.....sounds like this Southbounder chick I met back in the day...... Not much of a stride, but boy, she could do the miles!
