SoCal March Meet-Official Convoy Thread!!

[sweeper6]

If you already have a concrete plan post it here for everyone to see.

The purpose of this thread is to help those who are looking to hook up with convoys to the March Spring Fling, this information will give you the meeting points, times and so forth.

coordinate phone numbers and two way radio channels thru pm's only!

Right now we have the Major Convoys coming from Seattle thru Oregon, Northern Cal, Central Cal and finally ending in Irvine.

We have one coming from AZ

We have one coming from San Diego.

I want you to post in this format:


ex:
Convoy Commander:Sweeper6, Jason Scott,
Initial Meeting Point: Irvine Spectrum 1234 any street
Time: 10am,
Departure: 1015
1st Grouping Point: Hooters, 1234 anystreet Anaheim CA
Time: 1030
Departure: 1045
Note: you can post as many grouping points as necessary
Ending Point: Day of: Irvine DCX Headquarters. Nite Before, hotel you are staying
List of attendies:
1. Tmagnum, Tom
2. Fatchance, John
etc.

Once the convoy commanders are identified and the list is set it will be the convoy commanders job to designate the initial meeting point, times and grouping points.

If you already have a concrete plan please re-post here.

We are trying to eliminate mulitiple posts in multiple threads and create one place for everyone to view if they want to join in on a convoy.

It will also be a good idea to devise a route plan to include gas stops, food, rests (for those coming for way out), recovery plans in case of a break down. This does not need to be posted here, but must be available to all who are in the convoy.

I will moderate this thread and update it daily. I will also help with the coordination of the different convoys linking up with oneanother. (if needed)

Thanks!

Any members from Santa barbara or Ventura county area? I am interested in meeting up with any others who are attending the meet on the 25th and caravaning down to Irvine. Any takers?

Hey all,

I am leaving from Stockton about 45 miles south of Sacramento on the 24th. Going to Jump on 5 and head south. Anyone traveling from the North there are a few places here to join up. Also about 1 1/2 hours south of Stockton on 5 there's Hwy 132 another possible meeting place for anyone coming out of the bay area. Just thought I put it out there to get the ball rolling.

[sweeper6]

Just updated the thread. Had to stop though, got actual work to do, imagine that I will update again with the AZ and Central coast convoys this evening when I get home.

Thanks for all the respones, Grey Eagle the San Diego convoy will be coming up on the 25th, I'll have the details posted tonite.

[sweeper6]

Not wanting to keep you waiting but alas I must. Found out this afternoon that one of my soldiers was killed in an auto accident today and I need to do a casualty assistance visit to his family tonite. Not by far one of my favored things to do. The updates will have to wait till tomorrow morning. I know you understand.
