I thought I'd repost this.... time to get on the road if you live way out west, the rest of us will be leaving in the next few days. So I guess NOW it's "last minute"...

Motorola MH230R 23 Mile Two-Way Radio with 22 Channels, 121 Privacy Codes, NOAA Alert - Walmart.com
Most any FRS radio will do!
2) Join your local convoy to the Dragon:

There are also some coming from Colorado/Missouri and I know there are a few coming from Texas and lets not forget the Florida bunch or
start your own group!
3) I also bring a little compact lawn chair - sometimes you just want to pull over on the Dragon and watch the circus go by!
4) Remember everything else: Light jacket for those cool evenings, a video camera or at least a camera to capture the memories.
5) Send emails to all your co-workers and friends telling them you will be out of email/cell coverage most of the time and they are ON THEIR OWN while you enjoy the best weekend in years.
For those joining my little convoy to Fontana (and if you have not 'registered' with me in my thread, please PM me or post in my thread) - I will PM you my phone number this afternoon - if you don't get the PM, let me know!
I am carrying a spare Bosch CPS and drive belt (used) as well as a tire plug kit and the factory-standard air compressor - with only a very few tools.
