As I remember it, last year there were at least two cars from Washington that can down to Seven Stock. Look on your local threads and see if there is any action.

I'm in.

Are we leaving Friday? I get off work at 6pm.

Cacophany

How are we going to keep in contact w/ each other? car lights?

anet1737

and cell phones...we'll need to gather each other's phone numbers at some point incase anyone gets lost or whatever...

Cacophany

Call me a dork or whatever. But I was thinking walkie talkies. LOL

anet1737

Hell, my car made it on one tank of gas from Fort Apachie and Tropicana to Beach Blvd and Edinger (the light came on). You guys should only have to stop once (to stay on the safe side) so if you preset your stoping point the phones will work just fine.

i have a walkie talkie set... one of them FRS radios... supposed to be good range plus its pretty much open land so it should work. i suppose those are compatible w/ any FRS... but either way, we all should have each others' cell number.

But we're really not going out of rout to be "out of service" or am i missing something?

That's pretty good... i remember having to top off @ Primm or Jean then go all the way to Fontana w/ about a 1/4 tank and top off again -- just to be sure

How do you drive? I get about 120 miles to the gallon.

But as it will take 4-6 hours to get there I may not be able to caravan w/ you guys. I have my little one to consider, and will have to stop to feed and change.

flip

^ i llike to stop and eat as well

i drive "spirited" drives... usually make it in about 3 -3 1/2 hours

i think they're planning to leave early Friday for a leisurely caravan to Cali and arrive early to settle down and prepare for the Friday events...

We've never met so you would not know my driving style - around town I get 7 for 1 that is seven miles to the gallon. On the road I use my cruise control. While in Nevada I set it on 125mph and when I get to the boarder I set it on 90mph not go go any slower until I reach heavy traffic. Yes I have a radar detector and laser jammer. I have a super charger that I don't seem to be able to keep from sending it into boost mode.

Everyone stops at least once if for no other reason than to use the restroom or get a soda. I am sure that they will be stopping at least once in Baker or Barstow and maybe more if your needs are such.

I don't know about leaving real early friday cuz i still have to work that day...probably see if i can go in 7-330p or 5-130p...

When we went to Disneyland, we made it from Mike's house-1 stop at the Alien Jerky place-to Beach Blvd, Holiday Inn Express-and even drove around a lil bit, got lost w/out filling up...over 230somthing miles. We did end up filling up before going back to the hotel so we didnt have to deal with it in the day.

I'm off Friday Saturday & Sunday so what ever works. It dont take place till Saturday anyway.
As for the driving I'll be doin 75-80 not the best gas MPG but we can make the trip in about 3 1/2 hours with 2 stops and who knows we might just get lost along the way

DOMINION

Before we hit the road everyone will need to meet at a gas station fill up check our cars out then roll out from there. At that time we will exchange cell numbers. If anyone needs something call the leader of the pack so he or she can start to pull over or what ever, the rest will follow. This way no one brakes off from the back and gets lost or whatever

Flashwing

I know for many runs we also carry FRS radios for short distance communication. You usually only get about 2 miles out of them with direct line of sight but at least if someone has to stop they can notify the whole group at once.

DOMINION

^Hey that works

anet1737

Bump!

How many are joining you for the trip? I should already be there when you take off but if enough are coming down Friday night then maybe we can get together for dinner?

DOMINION

That sounds good Phil. As of right now I dont know, Its to far off to tell. But a lot of us will begoing around the same time. I just dont know what the numbers are right now. I would say about 10
