I'm sure he's not the only one. While I live in Portland, I'm a field

Vancouver BC to Northern California, inland to western Montana. I'd
have no issues getting anywhere in that radius for classic equipment.
Similarly, I know one list member who lives in central California who
is willing to travel anywhere south of Sacramento, pretty much, for
gear.
I do the weekend commute to Ottawa, and, while my
carry capacity is
strictly limited, I know people who do the drive moderately often.
That's an interesting point - I'm not sure how we could usefully
capture "I regularly do this route, or know people that do" type
information.
Maybe it can't sensibly be done (and I'm sure Jay sees nothing wrong
with "can anyone help getting x from y to z?" messages on the list,
anyway!)
