Alright folks, it’s commitment time!

Not sure how this is going to go, the only way I have to collect money is through PayPal, so what I’m proposing, in the hopes that all that want to go can arrange to use PayPal, is to give you an e-mail address and you can send money and some basic information.

I’m going to open this up for those that were committed from the beginning, the first list. On Thursday, 3/9, I’ll open it up to the “Tentative” list to make the 40 vehicle limit.

I’d like to keep the max number of vehicles for this trip at 40 to make it somewhat manageable.

Cost: $10/Vehicle
- includes fee for the permit through Mojave Preserve
- 1 unique and very cool collector patch
- Overland Bound collection swag & bits

Pay to: use PayPal to March2Mojave@gmail.com

Send the following information to the same e-mail address: (or attach it to the PayPal info)
- *Your name
- *Your OB Forum Name
- *How many people in your vehicle
- *Rig info (make/model/color, & if you’ll be pulling a trailer)
- *Communications you have (Ham/2M, CB, FRS, other, none)
- *Your e-mail address & Phone number to contact you
- *Emergency Contact information for you (name, phone, relation)
- How many miles will you travel to the trailhead? (Avi Casino)
- Do you have any medical training (anything from First Aid to Doctor?)
*Required information

March2Mojave@gmail.com will be the main e-mail that I will use to communicate with everyone for this trip, feel free to contact me directly with questions, or use the OB messaging, post to this thread, or chat if you see me online.

Next up, rendezvous points and more trail information coming soon, as well as the National Park Service Rules & Regulations.

Thanks all, I hope everyone we have room for all that can/want to go.

See you there!

Dan.

I plan to be out there with my local club from the 22nd to the 25th. Maybe we can meet up at some point on the trail. We will be on CB channel 1. I can share the locations we plan to camp at along the route.

IMG_1405.PNG Info sent, PayPal has put a hold on the payment pending review. Probably because it's a new account with a bunch of $10 increments going to it rapidly.

Payment and info sent, thanks!
 
We are going to parallel you guys and hopefully link up. We'll be a party of two vehicles, 6 people.

I'll follow the thread and monitor channels.

Who's excited? :)

OK - So our main man @BazzaJ is coming with us on this trek and he's bringing his camera! But we need some transportation assistance from So CA, if possible?

Baz is based in LA/Hollywood, and would need transport for himself, his gear and a tent to the rendezvous point, and then a ride back.

Is anyone coming from that area?

He would also be able to drive to a point off of the 15/10, and then park his vehicle in a safe location for the weekend.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Compensation involved!

If I didn't already have a full rig for the trip I would be so in on this.. Just for the photos alone.

We could pick him up in Bakersfield, or anywhere he deems safe and convenient along 58. We will have room for his gear as long as he's not allergic to dogs.

If you'll be coming out on Thursday, 3/23 and you're interested in looking me up, here's where I'll be.

I'm going to arrive afternoon-ish on Thursday and probably camp at Rendezvous Point #3 (Coords: 35.052934, -114683319) just west of the Needles Highway.
The trail actually starts at the river (technically), but we'll be meeting up at Rendezvous Point #2 on Friday morning. (Coords: 35.046128, -114.640659)
If you plan to go out to the river, to be able to say you ran "the whole Mojave Road", you need to do that before hooking up with the crew, we won't be going out to that point to start.

And if you haven't had a chance to pay and reserve your spot yet, and you're on the confirmed to go list, check post #522 for the instructions.


See you out there.


Dan.


Edit: When I'm there, I will be monitoring HAM 146.460 and CB 16 if you get close and want to locate me.

I'll also extend my help, I'll be coming down from the Goleta area and can pick him up, as long as he doesn't mind ridding in a nice and noisy discovery!
