If you want to share your Cell Phone numbers with those in the convoy please “ PM “ them to me and I’ll create a list and PM everyone back. Also indicate your provider so those that have ‘IN” plans can save a buck if needed. (I've already been reminded that most of us have "FREE" weekends, so pardon my stupidity )

Bring your 2-Ways also. If you have the 2 channel types those would be preferred as it will allow us to hopefully find a more secure unobstructed channel.


Also remember chairs and canopy’s (pending) for sitting and shade.
