We know everyone is wrenching away (Lane is under his Boxster as we speak. JK) to get everything dialed for 3+ days of driving with this awesome crew. A couple reminders:

Some of us are arriving on Thursday evening and will be meeting in Downtown Sonora for a casual kicker welcome hang. We'll start at The Armory around 6pm and if that's too crowded/lame, make your way to Sonora Tap Room just down the road. Otherwise we'll see everyone at the start of the rally on Friday morning. More info on that via email soon.

What to pack? A two-way radio is a good call. Not required but people seem to like the Baofeng models on Amazon. Basic tools, check your spare, jumper pack, beef jerky, spare key, rally blanket. What else? Comment below!

Don't forget to pack your good vibes. I'll be making my way from the Reno area on Thursday if anyone is passing through on their way to the rally, let me know and we can drive together!

Alex Johnson

I need to figure out my schedule, but might hit you up. I'm making the drive from Denver and right now planning to go through Reno

John Greco

Nick, what time do you think you're departing Reno on Thursday? I'm tentatively planning on leaving Salt Lake City at 6am on Thursday which would put me in Reno sometime around noon pacific.

The Camaro is dialed as ice! Running through the rally gear packing checklist and loading up the car is all I have left. Well, that and obsessively studying maps for variations on transit routes from Dallas via Durango and Salt Lake City.

Nick Allain

I'm flexible. I took the whole day off from work. I think Alan will want to drive together as well so maybe we can all meet up for lunch then drive over?

Kellin Patler

La Tache and I will see y’all Thursday! Don’t forget your radar detectors, cooler/ice chest, clip board/pen if you have a navigator, camping chair for roadside / poolside / parking lot hangs, towel, snacks, coozies, warm layer for morning meetings, and good vibes!

Richard Duck

These are all great suggestions! I'm picking up a radio. I've got a portable starter/air compressor with me. Definitely going to pack something ice-chest-like. Bringing sunscreen also!

Alan Villalobos

I get off work at 2 pm Thursday, but I should be ready to hit the road right after so I'm down to drive down. What route should we do?

Jay Whalen

Which Baofeng radios are people using?

Excitement is building. See you all Thursday! Looks like it’s going to be sunny and quite warm, so add sunscreen, hat, board shorts for a hang at the hotel pool! Also, Element fire extinguishers, everyone should have one, you may not need it, someone else might..

John Greco

Thanks for the reminder to check the forecast for Sonora - hotter than I thought, need to add shorts to my suitcase! I’ve been checking the weather in towns along my transit drive, but totally forgot to look at Sonora itself.

Jay Whalen

Thanks for the recommendations, sounds like we operate in the FRS bands so both those will work. See everyone in a few days!
