Thinking of driving the 40, will probably leave now to make sure I get there in time. I have requested fuel drops from the national guard as the old F sure does use the fuel. It does have a 75w Yaesu and a winch.

might just work.
You guys crack me up.
Wish I new more about this crap and could help you with that Weber. Ya know when I put my Weber on I also changed out my stock dist. for a D.U.I/perfomance distributors and hot wires. Maybe the combo...????. I get about 12mpg with my foot into it on the freeway? Is that good? Glad you can go to BASS CAMP.

I've used my HT on the trail before, 0.5W is usually plenty. If you need it I have a Mag mount antenna which will help a lot, it is an SMA so you might need an adapter if your antenna is a different type.Exactly, I get to be that guy on this trip.
I picked up a yaesu FT-270r for my 2m radio. It's only a handheld, but I figured I would start there and of course they are always useful. I still plan on adding the 8800 eventually, but for now, 5 watts max for me.

Which brings up the subject of a second meet location for those of us driving low performance trucks.
Since we are going in via Marietta I'd say we go with Jacks suggestion of the Mina rest area. Right across the street from the Desert Lobster Cafe.
Are there trails to the camp suitable for a mild cherokee? I'm planning to go just to see the camp, don't want to hold anyone up on the fun stuff. Assuming I get the driveline vibration (I think) sorted out this week.
No worries Will, a cherokee will go a lot of places stock. I don't think you have anything to worry about, besides your cherokee is a better wheeler than my full size truck and I plan on taking whatever road we decide on. The power of positive thinking.

Biggest worry at this point is the tires are 'P' not 'LT'. So far no problem because it's a lightweight, but I've got to watch the rocks.
The good news is I should have the new tranny override in by then, so it won't drop into first at the exact wrong time any more.

Questions, everyone meets Saturday morning? We meet where? Can the slow folks meet early in Fernley and convoy? What Freq on the 2m? Anyone what to go on Friday and camp? Dan can you post the 2m folks call signs?

The standard club 2M freq is 146.460,
I'll post up the call signs I have tomorrow.
As I mentioned I think we should set the meet place as the Mina rest stop, if others from Carson, Reno, Fallon or Fernley want to caravan they can work out the details.
Meet time? It's about three hours from Reno or Carson to Mina at posted speeds. So how early do you want to get up?

Does anyone want to meet up in Reno? Doesnt matter either way to me. Meet here, Hawthorne, or Mina, just curious who wants to do what.
Im no lead foot, and at the price of gas, Im fine cruising at 65!

How about we plan to leave Mina no later than 11:00. That gives the Reno/Carson people a 7:30 - 8:00 start time but still gives us plenty of day light to find Bass Camp. If everyone is okay with an earlier start that would also be good.
Please make sure you post up if you are attending because as soon as everyone that confirms shows up we will leave, no matter what time it is.

Looks like I'm in.
I just finished and driveway tested the transmission override, so far so good.
Bonus: New windshield! Now I can see at night!
Note, the weather looks a little iffy Sunday.

I'm having eye surgery thursday, so we are out. Besides, the wife is still fighting that cold from 2 weeks ago and it's moving into her lungs. I don't think traveling is in our best interest this week.
Be sure and get lots of good pictures for us.

No can do for me!
Since I was on vacation, they stuck me on call for the weekend.
Probably better that I stay home and work anyway.
