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.

Always room for more in a Convoy. See you there.

Awesome, thanks. Not a HAM dude yet but its on my list. This time around it'll have to be cell where reception allows. I'll be in a Tacoma with FWC pop up on the back. Will do my best to keep up, I generally travel 65/70ish mph, but rig slows on extended up hills (don't like to push the rpm's too hard). If I fade back its all good, at least I'll meet some folks for the trip. See ya soon.

Not a race for us...slow and steady...also we have couple guys pulling trailers.

 

[Canyon_Cliff]

Yes, we may head out to gc!

Great, I have been looking at routes and would like to go to the North Rim area on Monday. Maybe spend Sunday on the South side.

Even better. I remember a story I heard once...something about slow and steady. Rabbit and turtle were in there somewhere too...

I might be able to join in the convoy now. My son hurt his leg and is on crutches so he probably wont be coming with now so i don't have to wait for him to get out of school. Add me to the list and I will confirm one way or another by Wednesday night. Coming from Moorpark.

Dominic can you message the convoy people going via 40 so we don't get mixed up here?

 

[Ldixon09]

Last chance for sign ups to join us!!!!

A private message will be sent soon to those on the list, asking for confirmation of your participation.

A message to follow will include a request for your vehicle info, contact info and emergency contact info. Everyone in the convoy will have each others info for safety reasons.

Please remember to charge up your ham's and 2-ways, and get that coffee ready for early Thurs morning!!!

I never got confirmation?

Staying at trestle bridge at Afton Canyon on Sunday evening if anyone needs or wants a half way point. It will be after the water crossing.

Cancel me off any list. Talked to my dad and we will be departing 4am from Moorpark. Look for my Dodge coming and flag me down as I would still want to camp with SoCal west members.
