We are also leaving on Thursday, but my friends haven't agreed on a departure time. I think we're currently looking into noon, but I'd love to head out sooner.
The current plan is to meet in the Albertson's parking lot at I-17 and Carefree Highway (as opposed to the Grand Ave route of past years).
Just so you know, there will be up to five of us and two cars. Since the Ad Hoc networking hasn't proved that effective, we plan to utilize FRS (and can probably get some spares if your party needs a couple).
All of us work with computers to some extent, but we don't have any Dan Kaminski's among us. (Then again, who does? :) )
I guess the point of this ramble is don't count us in yet, but keep us in mind.
PS: I apologize for not replying to your earlier post. I guess I was just being lazy.
PPS: Do you, by an chance, have Shadow travelling with you? I haven't seen that guy in quite a while. :)
Hey guys... I'm pretty new to PHX, but I'd love to get to know some of the local folks here. I'll drop you a PM as well, but I've got a station wagon if you need someone to haul gear or whatever.
It looks like Thursday morning will have quite a few cars/trucks then.

What are the route/stop points along the way incase anyone wants to join up?
Do you guys have an ETA (Contingent on traffic) to arrive at the AP?
To be the best of knowledge do you know how many seats are spoken for and how many are opne incase anyone last minute people want to come along?
I am going to assume that you, highwizard, do not want to join the Phoenix caravan, but that you are simply trying to help us out. :) Thanks!

Our group is loose with the stopping points. We tend to make two stops on the way for stretching, switching drivers, etc. (I know, we're lightweights :D).
If someone wants us to stop somewhere specific, speak up! The old Phoenix caravan used to pass through Flagstaff, which I am not averse to, but we do not, currently, plan to pass that way.

My thoughts are Defcon keeps me so busy that Thursday is really the only day to take in Vegas. Thus, the earlier the better. I am not working Thursday, and I hope my friends will be able to follow me in that regard.
LosT, on the other hand, wants to attend the Toxic BBQ, which, I believe, starts at 18:00.

I'd love to have someone join our group. Assuming no one backs out, we will be taking two vehicles. That should leave between 1 and 3 (depending on the vehicles) empty seats in which we can comfortably fit people.
Ok, I'm leaving early (read: 7am) because of a meet-up I am attending that afternoon. Anyone who wants to leave that early, let me know. I plan to arrive in Vegas just prior to 1pm...
Anyone else leaving from the Phoenix area: I believe that the DC602 group has a forum set up to discuss traveling together (just off of the DC602 page)-
Sorry about that. I've been a little lazy about organizing the trip...
7:00 AM might be a bit early (my friends work on what they call "Asian time" :) ), but I'll run it past them. I was thinking more like 10:00 AM, but, personally, I would love to leave at 7:00.
I saw the DC602 forum, but it seemed pretty slow. If time allows, I'll post in there, as well.
Brian, please get back to me as soon as possible (if you are still out there). We have a friend in Tempe who would greatly appreciate it if you could give him a short lift to the meeting point. Thanks in advance! :)
Note that I was unable to borrow extra FRS units, so bring them if you have them.
I'm also from phoenix(scottsdale really) and need a room Fri & Sat night. I'll pay in cash and toss in some Taser swag(shirts, hats, whatever) if that'll make a difference. Floor space or couch or whatever works.
thanks

Voltage, our tempe friend will not be attending anymore. Brian does not need to give him a ride.
we'll be leaving from chihuahua, mexico today at 6 pm. And will be passing by phoenix around 6 or 7 am, what's the best route to take from phoenix to vegas???, I always go to flagstaf???, is there another route?. Thanks in advance!
All right. We are ditching LosT 'cause my friends are unwilling to leave at 7AM. Sorry.
So, if anyone cares to join in...
We are leaving at approximately 10AM from the Albertson's parking lot at I-17 and Carefree Highway. We plan to take the Carefree Highway west through Wickenburg to the US-60. This isn't going to be a Cannonball Run, so there will be stops and no (obscene) speeding.
Let me know if you care to join us, and I'll give you my contact information so we can arrange all of the details.
