Thanks for the confirmation! I moved you up to the top list.
I may lean on you a bit on this trip.
Tell me again if you are a HAM operator?

Well, its about time. Happy to hear your going. Since you done this trip before, how much fuel did you take along? I was wondering if we filled up at the Casino, would that be enough fuel to get out and to the next gas station?
I burned a lot of fuel. I carried 10 extra gallons and still had to drive into baker and fuel up. I was being hard on the throttle playing in the sandy areas. I think with a full tank and an extra 5 gallons you should be fine if you're not hot rodding the 4runner.

Multiple permits is an option. Just have sub groups with leaders and then meet at the camp sites. Similar to OTG. That way everyone can hang out with everyone vs having groups of people who know each other together and then groups of people who don't..

When I ran the road earlier this year I brought along an extra ten gallons just in case (On my roof in my profile picture) I didn't actually end up needing any by the end of the trip... I had a little under a quarter tank left at the end (23 gallon tank, I get 11-12 MPG city, and 14-16 MPG highway with a tail wind heading downhill)

I was planning on bringing about 8 extra gallons and starting the road with a full 35 gallon tank. Worst fuel mileage I've ever seen was 12.5 mpg. I figure with the 8 extra gallons I should be ok.

The rest of that section (before and after the wash out) is very rough - Like Lippincott in Death Valley.

Hi, I would like to go if work permits. I am a ham and have permanently mounted radios in jeep as well as multiple handhelds. I have done the trail and also work in the area at times, so I know the area pretty well.

That's the second water crossing, and probably the deeper of the two. Should be OK, it's soda lake that concerns me by then. Did you cross that with no problems?
