"GRAND CARAVAN" Maps and Itinerary

[Mopar Boy]

I just might hookup with you guys. I will be towing a ACR X out for the event. I can push Robert over the hills if I need to as there will be no Yellow on or in my rig. But I might have the Chad with me. We are working that out now.

I like it! "The Chad"!

Have fun with the chad! That could be a very long drive!

Let me help you work it out. He sits on the roof!

Or we can do two sides tape to his butt and stick him to the hood like a hood ornament!

 

[InjectTheVenom]

On the roof? You sure you wanna do that because red guys are pretty heavy chumpies ya know... besides, you would need VERY sticky two-sided tape as a red person catches more wind than any others out there Chad would become a 'drag' so bad that your only option is the reverse direction of where you really want to go

Here is the route, hotel links, approximate times of stops, etc.

Ok I am confused... which logo can we choose the style for, front, back, both?

I'm down for a white shirt but am having trouble finding the right size convertor on the net, in Euro sizes it is usually hit and miss between M or L

 

[daytonprowler]

Both colors of shirts have the pocket size logo on the front AND the long logo size on the back.

 

[Wolfc2e]

Hotels reserved, t-shirts ordered, car inspected and fluids changed.. Is it September yet??

[Mopar Boy]

Randall, was thinking we should mention CB radios so people in the group can stay in contact. We will run channel 40. They do have hand held CBs that plug into the 12v outlet and don't need a roof antenna. You can get them for $50-100 depending on brand and model. You can also get antennas that stick to the windows if you like the race viper with antenna look!

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Good thinking Robert! Will bug Jimmy that he needs to write down the frequency someplace

 

[99 R/T 10]

How about also using a freq. on the handheld Motorola radios? I won't be getting a CB in the Viper........10-4 good buddy...................

BREAKER BREAKER for the Bandit !

Very good idea Robert and 99 R/T 10 !! We will get that set up.

Are you talking about the 2-way radio's??

 

[Mopar Boy]

I looked into the 2 way radios. If I am not wrong, unless you have the exact same model, channel numbers do not always correspond.

Mike- just saw a guy here with a cb in his viper......

 

[99 R/T 10]

Are you talking about the 2-way radio's??

Yep, and Robert, I have an extra radio for ya

 

[Mopar Boy]

Breaker breaker one owe charlie over breaker!

I think that is thanks in radio tongue!

 

[steve911]

Robert,

I would like to join up with you on the northern route as I will be towing also. Because I live in WI, It appears as though I will catch up with you guys in Cheyenne cause I will be taking 80 westward from Iowa.

Steve A.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Steve

Would be a pleasure to have you along in our group!

 

[daytonprowler]

Hotel room blocks are good until September 16th. Book your rooms NOW!!!!!

 

[daytonprowler]

I have put together a commemorative Travel Planner booklet for the trip, I call it the ViperTik. I will pass these booklets out along the trip. It contains all the maps and directions for the 3 day trip.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Do you ever stop coming up with cool ideas?
