Count me in for the convoy! I just need a heads up as too approximate time to meet as I have a 3-4 hour drive to get down from the Central Coast "San Luis Obispo" area

@Tom DeVor a good place to meet up with you would be in Barstow somewhere near the 15 and 40...if they decide to take the northern route.
******************Planning and Logistics meeting just completed!!!***************
I need a RIG COUNT PLEASE! If your OB handle isn't in the original post, you need to be on that list so we can account for everyone. So reply in this thread please and I'll count you in.
Reminder: HAM radio is a must to be part of this epic convoy!!
Disclaimer: As difficult as it may be, I do need to state...please do not expect anyone to hold back if a rig has serious mechanical issues. We are all here to look out for each other's safety but please understand, we do have a schedule to stick to and there are no legal commitments for this convoy.
Now on to the fun stuff!
San Diego Team (Full-pending)
Los Angeles/Inland Empire Team
Central/Northern CA Team
We will be taking the Southern route (10 to 17)
Rendezvous in Ontario (10 Fwy/15 fwy) zip = 91764, at 12:30 AM on Thursday, May 11
READY TO ROLL 00:50 AM
EN ROUTE 1:00 AM
-------->>>>Our route will be a straight shot out to Phoenix to rendezvous with the San Diego Team, then to Flagstaff via Sedona area. Mostly pavement with some dirt and amazing scenery! Not how we usually roll, but we just want everyone to get there with no trail mishaps before the expo.
Check in with what team you're closest to so we can start to get the teams in communication. Be prepared to provide your contact info later in a PM.
Preliminary head count will be complete by April 29th.
If other groups wish to head further north, the 40 may be your route of choice. It will be very dark, please drink loads of coffee and be safe!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

I'm in 100%, but no HAm for now :(
I can meet you guys in Ontario.
No sure yet what rig I'll be taking. if I'm going with the land rover series, no problem with top speed (ls engine) but if I'm going with land rover 101 and the camper , probably i will go with the trailer group, keep you posted.

No HAM license here either..yet, certainly not in time for this trip. I can however monitor HAM frequencies, and have both GMRS and CB to share what's being said with other non-ham'ers.

Count me out of the convoy; no HAM, and I will be taking the I-40, not the I-10.
See you there.

Well after a lot of negotiating with my better half Im back in. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Yes you do need a license. Most everyone carries the HAM's as emergency comms. That's what it will be used for when we convoy, unless you're licensed. No one will fault you if you use it for an emergency.
What time is very early? We should be by Indio about 2-3 am. Join us!
