In principle, it would be nice to meet up as soon as possible. At the same
time, we want to keep backtracking to a minimum. Bob will be heading straight
north...don't know if anyone west of Bob plans on coming.
I've got two ideas:
1. Sumas, WA (north of Seattle): Here is the link for the route from Sumas to
Deadhorse:

2. Sweet Grass, MT: this would have Easterners bypassing the Rockies
entirely and hwy 15 is a straight shot for Bob. According to my map, these
first roads through Canada are not as scenic as the above route:
http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirections.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1556161185.1134415227@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddghfdejljcefecggfdffhdgif.0&cmty=0
Both of these towns are right on the border. Both work fine. Perhaps there
are other ideas of where we might rendezvous sooner in the US.
Of course, if two cars are coming from, say, Missouri, those two would
caravan together to the main rendezvous point, etc.
If there are Canadians wanting to come, we need a Canada rendezvous point too.
Thoughts, suggestions, feedback, better ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Can you tell where it is leaking from on the tranny? A cold rubber seal may
leak until it warms up and softens to the point where it fits a bit better.
Have a look at the tailshaft seal for starters.

Are you SURE the transmission isn't overfilled (can only be checked
after driving for 15-20 minutes - will read low to VERY low if checked
cold - if filled to even the low mark when cold, it will be WAY
overfilled) and the vent (on top) isn't plugged? On some transmissions
the connection between the dipstick tube and the pan leaks. This CAN be
resealed (but I've never tried it).
