What time are you planning on leaving Barstow? I will be passing through there at about 1015-1030am traffic dependent... I will likely need to fuel up there.

This is Great. Yumafolks here and guess where we are at. Yuma Az about 2 minutes off the i8 at ext 7. We are not planing to get on the road until about 1700 11May. I have the day off but the Mrs's and our son have work and school. Meaning I'll be floating around our garage packing more stuff than we need. If anyone passing through Yuma has any issues please give me a call 928-502-0284. I'll be here to help. Let me know the San Diego route and we can pull up the rear that evening. I know we won't be getting in until really late so we have a spot reserved at the Ft Tuthill Air Force Rec area right down the street to the expo that night and plan to be at the expo first thing Friday morning to set up camp. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Is anyone planning on taking a few days after the Expo to go to the Grand Canyon or Sedona areas. Rod and I would like to camp out, off the grid, and return home Wednesday.
Would be good to join up with some others.

We are pulling our Turtleback trailer, and a friend is convoying driving a F150. We'll hopefully see you guys on the road. Leaving in early AM out of Murrieta. Will be on HAM, what is the convoy freq? We'll monitor and stop if anyone falls out.

Usually, the 4 wheelers use channel 4 on the CB Radio. I don't have a ham radio so I can't tell you what channel they use. The FRS people use (if 4 wheelers 4.4).

Howdy All...
New member just signed up yesterday and excited to have found a convoy option. Actually found it in a google search. Technical issues verifying account...finally did.

I would like to meet up with the group meeting @ Barstow Road / I40 Thursday morning at 0630. Too late / convoy full? Have I missed last call?

Even if I did this time around still great to have found ya'll and signed up. See ya at the expo, safe travels all.
