I'm bringing a small tent just because it's warmer than the hummer. The weather will dictate rather I set it up or not.

Tux, you'll be alright. From what I hear and have seen it will be a very easy trip. If we come to something your not comfortable crossing we won't just leave ya there - someone will drive your truck through.

Back of the rig is schweet - but we'll bring tents along too and decide when we make camp Sat. night.

Yep - looks like a cap. Rodster? Is this a cap? Have we reached MAXIMUM CAPACITY?
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! OUSTANDING!

Sean
ps And the scary thing is that all 15 might actually show up!!! Holy shiite!

HOLD DA PHONE.

I just got a cancel.

Is JEFFB's neighbor (?) cofirmed?

I think so. That means all eyes will be on you! We want to watch this thing. I'm wondering if you ever saw the Four Wheeler mag review on the H3 where they said "it's atleast as capable or (dare we say...more capable?) than the H1 and H2". If not I'll try to dig it up and bring it to you.

Yep, looks like it so far! Now, you can see it as being outnumbered or the best of the bunch!! I have a feeling I know which one you're going to pick!!

Hold the boat on the total count. JNSTITZ, any confirmation from Evan and/or Allen?

I would start asking people to commit 100%. It would be a shame if we turn people away and others don't show.

That was a concern of mine also, Racer. You were reading my mind! Might want to do a list of 20 so if/when some cancel because of sickness, emergencies, weather, etc. we havn't lost our mile long desert traffic jam!!

PHEW!!!!!!!!!

ok, i'm happy now

Re: Da List.

The 15 target number assumed we will have cancels, family emergencies, broken trucks, etc. Since any or all of those are probable, we should net between 10 and 12 trucks. That's a very nice number for a trail like this.

As others suggested, we should get absolute confirmation from those on the list. Once we have 15 solid, start a waitlist. If a spot opens up, the first person on the list is offered the option to upgrade (no obligation to take the offer) to the confirmed list.

Sean- As of right now Allen and Evan will not be going, I'll let you know if that changes though.

Some things to consider ...

Trail conditions dictate how long the train is. For example, if parts of the trail are fine sand and there is little cross wind, to keep yourself out of the dust cloud of the truck in front of you (a very good idea) we all need to drive very slowly (boring) or we all need to hang back a quarter mile or more from the next truck.

Under those conditions, a 12 truck train is now 3 miles long. We want (need, really) radio communications between the lead and rear vehicles. Will we have it? Dunno. Depends on conditions.

If we encounter an obstacle that requires spotting, more is not merrier.

There will likely be scenic spots along the way where we'll want to stop. Is there adequate room for parking or if it's a dead-end or hill climb, enough room for all trucks to park and enough room for U-turns?

In a long train the lead vehicles get to see critters. "Hey, a pack of wild hyenas at 11 o'clock!" is good news for the front. It's a bummer in the back because the critters will surely be gone.

I'm not being negative, just practical. An army of Hummers is fun to think about but not necessarily fun on the trail.

Yeah, what he said!!

Dammit Rodster. I'm going to disagree with you, here. Totally and completely disagree. You are wrong. Absolutely wrong. Every thing you wrote was in error. Your facts are incorrect and your opinions are blatantly screwed up. You may well be condemned to hell for expressing them. Eat shiite and die.

Okay. I just didn't wanna totally agree with you AGAIN today. But really I do. I second Toots. "What he said."


Sean
ps - This THREAD is 10 pages long and it's a pain in the arse. Imagine an even longer train of Hummers. Cool photo op? Yep. Practical and fun? Maybe not so.
