I won't wait for the weekend, Scott! :--)
That's ok, I would have been patient.
When
to meet: I propose 8:30 AM, but I'm open to other reasoning. My guess is
that makes departure times of about 5:30 from Tucson and 6:00 AM from
Phoenix (your mileage may vary),
That is along the lines of what I was thinking also. I will have to
do the math on when I will leave Tucson, but an 8:30 meet time sounds
good. My FJ-40 is comfortable on the freeway at 65 mph, anything
over that and it is a bit rough. It will do it, but it doesn't like
it much.
If
you are running late, but can reach us by radio, we'll wait for
you. I do think we should use FRS channel 2 (backup 12), and we
might as well ditto those channels for CB. If there are any hams going,
start out on 146.52, unless someone knows a good repeater in the area. If
so, please post the frequencies and PL.
I will have GMRS/FRS radios with us. I will also have handheld
CB. I won't have the range as a vehicle mounted CB, but we will
just have to make due. I will also e-mail Steve, and any other
member of the strike force who might want it, my cell phone number
off list. ( I actually get telemarkers from time to time on my
cell)
Finally,
where to meet. I know nothing about the area, so I propose meeting at the
gate. There must be a gate, you got a combination to the lock when you
got your permit. If meeting at the gate is okay with everyone, I'll post
some directions and coordinates in a separate
message.
The gate sounds like a good idea. Please post the coordinates when
you get a chance. As for permits, Ann and I will be in Phoenix on
Monday to obtain ours. I realize that this is cutting things a
little short, but it has been the first chance we have had. I think
we will actually be heading up on Sunday and hitting a few urban
caches.
In liberty,
Scott
