Hi Michael - Can you save the itinerary as a PDF? I don’t have a system to support the .kml file

Is there a dedicated com channel for the caravan? CB channel and HAM frequency? My buddy and I will probably meet the group at base camp #2, since we won’t be able to leave until Wednesday afternoon. :/

Hey man! For now we'll use 146.46 and CB Channel 16. If 146.46 gets too chatty, we can switch as a group.

Hope to see you!

So from the 2nd camp to the expo is roughly 30minutes (google map’s estimation). Is the 7AM departure to the expo exact or slowly pack up at 7AM?

Reason I ask is I may not reach Arizona until 4AM :( . Then crash at my friend’s house. I would like to be able to meet up with the OB group and roll to the expo with you guys/gals.

Trying to work out some scheduling.

I’m headed down from SF to Flagstaff on the 16th. Couldn’t get time off to leave on the 15th. Might see if I can catch up and meet you guys at the camp site. If not, I will sure say hey at the Expo. Safe Travels everyone!

I just finished doing some last minute check on the LC and noticed the valve gasket had a leak and overflowed into the alternator....day before the expo. Smh.

So looks like the LC will have to sit this year’s “Disney” trip and take the FJC instead. Bummer.

Unloading and transferring gear/supplies from the LC to the FJC. Anyways, see you all tomorrow at the Barstow rally point!

That sucks! Way less room in our FJCs.
