My weekends are booked up prior to the event, unfortunately.

Got a dump run, then a BBQ on Saturday. Sunday, dad and I are measuring for a large kitchen project.

Next weekend I have more yard work and another BBQ.

Fridays after work I'm tired and want to go home.

I know most of you are in Boise area. Reaver and I are in Caldwell and Middleton. Would the Flying J truck stop on Exit 29 work for everyone? It has a large parking lot that would be good for all of us to meet up, get lickey chewies for the road if needed and have a quick potty break.

Yup. Definitely a good meeting spot. What time are we all thinking we want to roll out? I'd prefer it's not TOO early, but I also want to get there in the afternoon sometime.

I'd say add at least 60-90 minutes for stops and potty breaks, but that sounds reasonable to the boss and I.

I’m leaving Boise/Eagle area Thursday some time. Not sure when yet. Anyone going to be rolling with a Ham radio, we could potentially lock in on a specific frequency if interested.
Gmrs here as well. I can monitor ham with my handheld, but can't legally transmit.
I figure we can all meetup at the Flying J Travel Center at the intersection of I-84 and US Hwy 26. If we leave by 10:00 AM, we should be in Redmond between 3-4 their time. Nice easy drive, with lunch break and fill up at Eddies Fastbreak Grille/Store/Gas in Burns Or.

I am in Middleton myself. I think when we get a group it will make it a bit easier to find us a starting spot so we arent back tracking. Ontario or caldwell may be good meeting points if we look at a place just off 84.

We have a rally point with a few people from the trwasue valley for everyone going to Expo. If you want to rsvp to the rally point (first post in this thread) so we can know who all will be going along it would help.

Thats the flying J I referenced earlier. If 930 works better im good with that.
