hello everyone! based upon early reservations the OCT/NOV trip will begin with a clockwise loop of the west coast followed by a clockwise loop of the east coast - from that point on the trip is open and will be determined by transport legs that do not fit the above two loops - I already have limited space available on these two loops
the beginning date of the trip will be based upon when I complete several 'point to point' trips that are scheduled for SEP and possibly spilling over into OCT I have seen a trend in the recent trips of being heavily loaded by early reservations so if you have a need to have animals transported it is imperative that you contact me immediately - as always I need pick up city/state, drop off city/state, and a brief description of the animals to do preliminary planning - avoid the congestion of the group by replying to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are contemplating a transport you should check at the ANIMAL IMPORT web site below to see what the requirements are for importing an animal into a particular state - have your vet double check with the destination state state vet office to confirm the requirements far enough in advance so that you can complete any required blood tests as part of the 'point to point' trips I am likely to be empty on some westbound legs - if you have animals needing to go westbound from the Texas/lower midwest area get with me ASAP! - I have pick up locations in NV, CA, and WA so I will be making trips from TX to these states if you are 'geography impaired' remember that there is a printable map in the files section of the Yahoo TravelWithRonK group area - contact me if you want me to send the map directly to you I watched the International Space Station fly over Texas earlier this evening - it is inspiring for me to see that little dot in the sky that is home for two astronauts! -- PLEASE NOTE! TWO IMPORTANT MESSAGES BELOW!! - ALL livestock crossing a state line REQUIRES a minimum vet inspection certificate - it may be as simple as a certificate and rabies tag for dogs or as complex as several blood tests for other species - I WILL NOT TRANSPORT animals that do not meet the minimum requirements - go to the IMPORT web site below to find out what is required for the destination state of your animals - then have your vet double check with the destination state vet office far enough in advance to have time to complete blood test requirements - when I am on the road I DO NOT access my home email - email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or @MidAmericaBreedingTech.com addresses will NOT be viewed until I return home - if I do not answer your email within 24 hours assume I am on the road - in that case contact me through the Travel group below - the same applies to my telephone voice recorder at 512.259.5098 -- IMPORTANT NOTE: if you anticipate using my transport service you need to join the TravelWithRonK group below immediately! by joining Yahoo at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK or by email only (not required to join Yahoo) Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Travel with Confidence with TravelWithRonK! see pictures of my rig at http://TravelWithRonK.com and http://www.raresoaysheep.com/TravelByTruck.html ron keener near Austin, Texas http://TravelWithRonK.com http://MidAmericaBreedingTech.com thanks - please see below for some useful web sites --- TRAVEL MAPS at http://www.MapQuest.com DISTANCE CALCULATIONS at http://www.indo.com/distance/ ANIMAL IMPORT info at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/sregs TRAVEL WITH ME at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK NATIONAL GASOLINE AVERAGE PRICE INFO at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_home_page.html _______________________________________________ This message is from the blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
