I think i have a box of Walkies in the storage area at work. I don't know if anyone would miss them. I'll have to look into this.

Also we all fill up at the same time when we head out so we all refill the same time for the whole road trip.

I'm getting super excited for this!!!

I like the idea of grouping up every now and again and all fueling up at the same time, as I'm pretty sure that between the 2-lane road and slow-moving trucks, the group will get broken up. Using the route @digital_assassin has in the first post, here's a list of stations/places that would probably work... As YMMV, I think it averaged 270 miles between fuel stops in K Falls, Reno, Tonopah and into Vegas.

Just trying to throw out some suggestions to see if anyone else has interest/suggestions, etc. Too many stops? Not enough? Just meeting up in Reno and Vegas?

Can't wait for this trip!!!

That could work. I think we should make the major regrouping at lunch time. I am suggesting this place for the first day. Gets really good reviews, it's cheap, and we should get there around 1:00

I think it's time for a roll call as to who is really going and whether or not you will be meeting up at my place Wednesday AM or in Reno. (@myd_lyf_crysys we'll pick you up in farther south).

Seattle guys, we would like to have you guys join us too. So far these are the people I think are going. Please confirm and let me know if I should expect you at my place in Tigard at 8AM on Wednesday. Details are on the first post in this thread for my house location and awesome route to Reno/Vegas.

This is going to be a great drive. I'm compiling some mixes for the road trip for everyone. So far I've done a vocal (happy) trance mix and a really tribal techno mix. I had a super dark D&B mix but the recording was distorted so I'll do another one before the trip. I can put them on your flash drives at my place or burn a bunch of CD's. Just let me know.

F-U-C-K Y-E-A-H!! Only 3 more days till blast off!!!

[stockysnail]

I have training all week this week and it would be bad form to miss being trained for what I'm supposed to be working on. I'll be with you guys in spirit as this would have been super fun to have a big ass group driving all that way in our cars.

[Skywgn1]

I am going south from Twin to Ely, Nv. and into Vegas. Will see you guys at the autox.

[Fascist Fish]

I am going, but I am leaving thursday night. I will be in sometime on Friday

Heck yes I'll see you at your place.

I like my eggs in the form of an omelet. Preferably with bacon!


Also +1 for using chevrons for fuel stops!
