I don't know anyone. But you have a great idea to drive whenever you can. As I posted on here, I drove about 1400 miles (twice) round trip to have my Model 21 engraved by Pauline Muerelle last year. Once to drop it off and the second trip to pick it up. It did cost me about $400 in toll road fees to drive back and forth through Pennsylvania twice. But I did get to see Connecticut.
Government stated cost of mileage ......... $.67/mile.
1400 X $.67 = $938
Times two equals $1876
Plus $400 tolls and meals would be $2300
Makes USPS package rates look pretty tame to a reasonable person.
