| Yorkie Railroad II Ok! Tater Javk is going to live with the little boy who has spina bifida in Maryland, not Virginia. Ashley lives in Virginia and works in DC with Chris the boy's father. So...we have to get Tater to somewhere near Washington D.C. by next weekend so Ashley can meet up with Tater's last driver.Here are driving directions of Tater's route. I can take him to Terre Haute or Indanapolis. Is there someone in Terre Haute or Indy that can meet me and continue on east with him? 1: Start out going EAST on FAYETTE AVE toward W FAYETTE AVE. 0.1 miles Map 2: Turn LEFT onto W FAYETTE AVE. 0.1 miles Map 3: Merge onto I-70 E. 437.2 miles Map 4: Merge onto I-470 E via EXIT 219 toward BELLAIRE / WASHINGTON PA. 10.5 miles Map 5: Merge onto I-70 E. 30.3 miles Map 6: Merge onto I-79 S via EXIT 21 toward MORGANTOWN. 45.2 miles Map 7: Merge onto I-68 E via EXIT 148 toward CUMBERLAND. 112.4 miles Map 8: Take the I-70 E / US-40 E / US-522 S exit- EXIT 82AB- toward HAGARSTOWN / HANCOCK / WINCHESTER. 0.1 miles Map 9: Merge onto I-70 E via EXIT 82B on the LEFT toward HAGERSTOWN. 51.9 miles Map 10: Merge onto I-270 S via EXIT 53 toward WASHINGTON. 30.0 miles Map 11: Take I-270 SPUR S toward I-495 S / NORTHERN VIRGINIA. 2.0 miles Map 12: Merge onto CAPITAL BELTWAY / I-495 S. 3.7 mil I don't want to ship Tater Jack in the cargo hold of an airplane. If someone knows of an airline that will ship him in the passenger section, let me know. Otherwise.......Tater Jack can be The Yorkie Railroad's maiden voyage!!!!

| I'm in Florida so I can't help but I wanted to give you all an idea. How about sending a couple disposable cameras and a sheet of construction paper to sign like a big card for all of those who participate in the Yorkie Train? You could take a picture with each person along the way...it would make a nice momento for the new owner. |

| That IS a great idea!! Also, Elizabeth, where can we send donations?? Those of us who don't use PayPal need to get it in the mail or it won't get there in time. Also, do you think the little boy's parents would mind us having their address to send "Yorkie Stuff" and cards, etc. to him?? BTW ... what is the little boy's name? Just let us know what needs to be done!!

| It might be easier to send him via Wagginwheels. It looks like the cost would be $375 plus a crate. I'll contact them tomorrow and make sure of the cost. Elizabeth

| aWH THAT IS SO SWEET...I am glad Tater Jack is going to a great home...I secretly wanted him( I read the story, and said ok don't ask for him)....I am happy...Hey...I can't help out on the driving part, but if the train or bus ticket's aren't to high I can come up and get him and hand him off if someone would meet me at Union Station in D.C.
