East Bay Death Valley #2 Trip
Welcome to the East Bay Meet Up Death Valley Trip! #2 we wanted more of our group have the opportunity to see Death Valley, so we opened up a 2nd trip - here it is.
Please make sure your rig meets the basic requirements listed below as there will be a solid amount of dirt mileage trip in remote wilderness and we will have 10 rigs. These basic requirements are REQUIRED. If you arrive missing one of these requirements we encourage you to go have a great solo trip but it will put the larger group at risk traveling with us.

REQUIREMENTS!
Offline navigation- many areas do not have phone service so you need an offline map solution, the attached GPX works great in Gaia. Pay for the app if you don’t have it, it could save your life. Paper maps always work as well. :)
HAM radio- even if you don’t have a license you can listen in legally, there are a number of handheld radios that are satisfactory on Amazon available from $35-$200. Baofeng to Yaesu
Extra fuel- prepare to bring 80-100 miles worth of extra fuel
Amber Chase Lights- this is absolutely critical as our group will kick up a lot of dust and the wavelength of amber goes the furthest through dust clouds. Please mount them higher up on the rear of your vehicle and they can be battery operated, plug-in to a cigarette lighter, or hardwired to a switch on your vehicle. KC HiLites makes round amber cyclones that are reasonably priced and can be placed almost anywhere with a single bolt. You must have rear amber lights to join this trip to help keep others from rear-ending you on the trail.
Off road tires, no stock side steps, prepared for dispersed camping including pooper/water/food/full size spare/tools/sleeping preparations
