My fiance and I are spending friday and saturday night.

[tcm glx]

Quick update guys.....

Chris, myself and Tom W have been working on putting together a chase book/package with all the details. The departure on Sunday will be an early one, in hopes to get to the TKT border and across early. Would like to leave HP ranch around 6am.

A few things to start considering:
1) Plan for packed breakfast and lunches (in other words, you will need to bring sandwich material, or something of that sort, as well as bfast material)
2) Plan to show up on Friday morning to Tom Webers spot, with a FULL TANK OF GAS, will not be stopping for fuel until friday evening, after the run from TKT to HP Ranch
3) Make SURE you have a race radio in your vehicle, frequencies will be provided a few weeks in advance to program. ( I can suggest a few if you need to buy one, and can help with the antenna install as well if needed)
4) If you have a GPS, we will be providing Lowrance File for the run we are doing
5) make SURE you have a passport, and bring it with you (trying to get back without one is HELL)

As a quick heads up, Chris has been in contact with Todd at HP Ranch, and he is comfortable with us (I think he prefers it) paying cash, $55 per person for the two nights! More information to come soon....

Yup, we're still in! Really looking forward to the trip!

A couple of questions guys:
1) I think I know who currently has a GPS (Nick, Steve, Tom, Buck, Bill, Chris, Vic), are any of those that do not have one planning to buy before the run?

2) Are any of you joining the run medic or EMT certified (just for general info)

[tcm glx]

Some more housekeeing:

1) Race Radio's ae required, and we will most likey be using BFG Main and Relay as the frequencies for the weekend
2) Bag Lunches required for both Friday and Sat, we will be eating on the trail
3) AMBER or some sort of DUST LIGHT HIGHLY HIGHLY encouraged for safety

[BajaF250]

if you need the freqs for BFG Main and BFG relay, they are posted in communications thread under frequencies, the link:
http://www.gofastbroncos.com/forum/view ... ?f=32&t=50
They are in the first post by Nick.

I guess I could also just put them here!
BFG Main 153.395
BFG Relay 151.715

More Updates, we ae now hovering at approximately 20 vehicles.

We would like to cap it at that guys, no more vehicles joining, for logistical purposes, we really do not want to exceed, thanks!

Also, remember we are coordinating bringing donations to "el oasis". We have been told we can bring our donations (clothes, toys, etc) to HP Ranch and Todd will coordinate getting them to the Oasis!
