US West OVERLAND EXPO WEST 2019, 3RD ANNUAL CONVOY 40
- Thread starter Dominic OB0158
- Start date
I'm sort of in a quandary because the fastest route ( according to Google Maps) is the 101/210/15 which would take me to the McDonalds in Phelan at 4 a.m. I would have to leave at 2 am. If I meet in Barstow the fastest route is the same and it would take me 2:47 minutes. I could leave a half an hour later, but pass right by the McDonalds in Phelan. I think I'll just meet at the McDonalds in Phelan because I won't need that half hour of sleep!!

I will be coming from Moorpark in Ventura County, but we will meet up in Victorville at the McDonalds at 4AM.

Well my boat sold, so I will have to stay in Havasu until around 10am on Thursday, so I won't be joining the convoy, but I will see you guys at the expo. On the bright side, I will have some extra cash to spend.

@Dominic OB0158...I am hoping to make it into camp around 2pm...I will be coming from the Phoenix area this year. Couldn't pull off the convoy this year and had to make a detour to see mom first. Hopefully there is room to fit in with the group but I have a pretty big spread this year so I will play it by ear once I roll in. Catch you all tomorrow!!!

That so sucks. I too can relate to foot surgery. Mine has finally gone in a positive way, and the light is finally viable. Hope to be back in the outdoors in the fall.. Mine unfortunately was more long term. Get better soon.

It's funny and thanks to you after being on the trail for 10 days after Expo West, I was able to convince my wife to buy a trailer. We just purchased a 2019 Air OPUS Offroad trailer and we are picking it up next weekend!
