Here's the updated Convoy Rig count from Madera to Shaver Lake.
Here's the map and timetable.
The Bay Area's Convoy meeting spot will be at the Starbucks parking lot in Gilroy between 7:00am-7:30am. Its on Camino Arroyo and HWY 152 (south side of HWY 152) A shell gas station is on the corner for anyone needing to gas up. From there, we will make a pit stop in Madera's Walmart parking lot between 9:30 -10:00am so we can hook up with the Napa Convoy and Sacramento Convoy. From Madera we will take HWY 145 to HWY 168 to Shaver lake. If everything is on schedule, then we should be pulling into the Edison Campsite (OB Campsite) around 11:30am -1200pm. The times are not set in stone so I think we can take it nice and slow for the older Rigs and for those that are towing a trailer. I believe the official Rally start time is at 11:00am.?
CB channel will be 16 and 146.460 on HAM (@Disco2Guy has the HAM)
I don't own a HAM radio, but I am ordering a CB this week.

@Mike G are you going to be Captain Convoy of the Caravan?
In my experience with CB, it's hard for a large group to hear everyone. Some only hear transmissions from certain people and others will only hear the replies. I can lend my handheld HAM radio to the convoy leader, and I can take the tail gunner position and use the HAM in my truck. If you're not licensed, you can't broadcast, but you can still monitor. The range will cover us if (when) large gaps happen, and you should always be able to pick up my transmission (running 50W). This way the leader will know when everyone in the group has made all of the turns. And I've been to Camp Edison enough times that if we do get split up, I'm familiar with the route to camp.
