Hey Corrie thanks for posting. Was wondering what your guys were doing for expo. I will meetup with you Wednesday Morning in Livermore and follow along until Barstow. I'm staying the night there and headed over Thursday morning with a 15 person OB Convoy. "Convoy 40" we call it. See you next week!

We may be joining from Kingman, if the wife can get off work early :)

Good luck guys, travel safe. Wish I was going!

Dan.

 

[Arizona Overland]

You guys are staying at Fort Tuthill?

@Corrie -I'm dealing with a sick dog issue but as long as he's okay by then , I'll meet you guys in Kingman Thursday am.

Livermore to Tehachapi in just 5hrs with a stop in between? Dang, did you drop V8 in that TLC? Getting out of Livermore and on the 5 will take a bit of time. I have done that route quite a few times and until you are on the 5 it is so much stop/go traffic to deal with - not including if anyone tagging along with you has a trailer (55mph - 62mph).

We're leaving at 6AM. Not 6PM. :)

@Mirek and I will join the convoy at the Rest Area just south of the 5 - 580 split. @Reichling will let us know when you're close, so we should be able to roll right in line :-)

I don't know if there are any specific plans for get togethers other than the booth. But just an FYI, one of the best pizza places in the country is right there in Flagstaff. I'm planning on eating there Friday and Saturday. They also just happen to be next to a great craft brewery.

I may be meeting up with another group but if that falls through I will try and meetup with you guys for basecamp on Wednesday. I also am dealing with a sick dog so hoping he gets better as well very soon.

 

[Ryan Matthes]

Will join in Flagstaff, trying to catch the wagon train before we hit the campground.

I've been watching the Weather Channel

 

[Ryan Matthes]

Brisk - which is certainly better than hot.

Oh, absolutely.

the wind concerns me more than rain, cold or heat. last year was pretty bad it left a lasting impression on me for sure.
