The Departure Convoy(S)

well its getting close to D-day. the event starts Friday. years past we have head out on either wed or Thursday. id like to leave Wednesday morning. get there during the day. set camp search for fire wood and chill. Thursday to check on trail conditions etc.

so who is leaving from where, on what days/times I alwase like traveling in groups. seems to make things go better :dunno:. post up maby we can convoy a group or two up.

Bronze.

I think Im leaving thurs morning. no set time yet.

I could head out Thursday possibly. John when do you think you'd be rolling through Portland/Vancouver area on Thursday?

Wednesday, 0830.

SPECfab and I should be heading out wednesday, since niether of us have been there a convoy would be great.

I think I'd like to join this convoy.. Sounds like about the right time.

We're working on a plan to leave sooner, we'll know more as the days go on... it would be cool to get a good convoy of us going up there, the more the merrier,
....but no pee breaks! :nono:
You get yourself a collection of trucker-bombs going like everyone else!

But in all seriousness, ultimately I would like to be rolling into camp about 6 or so.... not much later.... I want the opportunity to set up camp at a leisurely pace, and have time to organize things and chill/hangout a bit before calling it a night.

I'm on the same page, Ashland will *hopefully* be getting off at 1, so we'll be ready then

Jeepboy381 and I will be living Thursday afternoon and have been there before. Anyone who would like can travel in our caravan. We're not that fast driving and will make stops and may be getting last bit of gear on the way up I'm sure. Pm me or jeeyboy381 for time and place.

This is the route we will be taking.
