[Kelly]

As soon as we firm up time etc, I'll let you know. If you PM me with a cell number where I can text the itinerary as we know it now. Exact routes on which hwy is yet to be determined. Hope we can sort it out, the more the merrier.

I PM'd you my contact info.

Send me a Glympse (free smart phone app) when you pass through Vacaville. I'll send you one back, and we'll both have a live map showing both our locations & progress in real time.

We'll meet you at the Starbucks, in the Raley's shopping center, on Folsom Blvd...

Will everyone have CB's? If not, I've got UHF Walkie Talkies for everyone.

I have a question about using my baofeng radio with FRS. I inputted the FRS frequency but do i need to input the PL tone?

Hey @Mike G
My plans have changed as I expect to be in the Sierras early next week and have opted to help set up OTG on Thursday so I won't be part of the convoy. Kinda bummed actually. CYA there.

 

[Mike G]

@hookjaw Good see a lot of people volunteering. Have a safe trip and I'll see at the Rally.

thanks!
So probably best to wait and see what PL tone to use when we meet with the convoy, right?

Put me down for the Gilroy convoy. Coming from Milpitas.

If anyone wants to come by my camp around 3:30PM on Friday Id be more then happy to demonstrate how to safely use a hilift and the multiple attachments you can get.

Sounds good. I updated the list when I get on the computer.

Side Note: If you're thinking about getting a Baofang, I highly recommend the extended batteries.

[ravenplague]

Do we need to bring dinner for Friday night or is that covered too?

What is this "prep" you speak of?

Still reworking our kits, got to put the rack on, and try and streamline more gear. Nothing like what you have to do maktruk

 

[maktruk]

I don't do nothin' I just get in the truck and go. On-the-fly planning has gotten me far in life :-)
