By the way, Hertz quoted me $75. I double checked, and everyone else was quoting $200. The problem is it being one-way. Apparently the rental companies aren't too fond of that.

Add gas for about $100, and it's still double the price of going on Greyhound. I read some other forums, and they said if you see a search going on to get on your bus, just wait for the next bus. However in my case, I would have to stick to a schedule.

I am trying to coordinate other means of cheap transportation now.
I'm rootin' for you. Goods luck and please keep us posted.

It's about more than your CHL, It's also about $4.00+/gallon gasoline being consumed in your POV at one gallon every 15 (+/-) miles. :eek6

It sounds kinda' fun, if the boogies don't get you.

Re: Thinking about Riding Greyhound

What a coincidence! I wrote a bus from Nashville to John Day, OR...in 1962. My scoped Win M-70 .30-06 and ammo was underneath me in the hold of the bus.

Mrs.Oldgringo just informed me that she could ride the "Long Dog" from Tyler for 11 hours to BHM for $80 with an advance ticket purchase. It cost nearly $300 (round trip) and took nearly 11 hours (each way) to drive to BHM to see her kids and grandkids over Spring Break. I'd want her to have her Texas CH licensed snubbie on her person should this ride happen.

Very interesting! Let us know what you learn.
