Maze or swell?

[Inukshuk]

I have yet to read the updates, but I was wondering what spare parts/tools are people bringing?
I have a 80 birf, asst front bearings and seals (used but working)
Front caliper bolts
front knuckle washers and nuts (studs should arrive tomorrow)
oil and filter
rear brake pads
lots of tools (incl axle nut socket)
glue
epoxy
duct tape

Daniel Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich's were exactly what I had in mind

and I'll get a special surprise to go with that

I'm leaving by mid afternoon Thursday. Earlier if I can.

5PM Thursday.

Ok sounds like we are all heading out Thursday.

Keep an eye out for Barry "Rutbeer" he is leaving Denver around 4pm and drives a beige FJ40, super clean, diesel powerd.

I forgot to stop by Highcountry today to get my Powertank filled, so I am on the road as soon as that is done. Probably still around 2pm

Dan, I will have the hand held Ham for you.

Man where did all that extra time go?? I am scrambling to get loaded up tonight.

I'm hoping to get out early tomorrow but we'll see, I will probably just hook up with the group on Friday morning. Will be monitoring the RS frequency and the Colorado Connection. Do we have a reliable repeater in Utah? See ya in Green River or Hans Flats

I'm hoping that on this trip you guys can help me set up my HAM to use repeaters. I just have never taken the time. So for now I'll just monitor 146.460, unless perry knows how to dial in the CC. I have the frequencies, and I know the transceiver auto-shifts, I just have not programmed the tones.

I'm in the same boat. I have never used my Ham for repeaters, and only used it once before that. It should at least be working for this trip though....far too remote an area to be without some form of communication.

Yes, trying to leave at 4pm and head west. If the pass is snowing, or anywhere up 25 for that matter, I may try to duck out earlier than that, but it will be difficult. I still haven't run to the store for beer ACK!

Perry and I will keep an eye out and hail on the HAM every once in a while. I'm a green 80, no roof rack.

 

[Inukshuk]

It will be 20's at night, upper 40's day. bring warm gear.

My gas cans do not leak and Chris may be able to put some on his roof. In any event by the time we get to Hans Flats I can load one into my truck for sure!

I have one deep pan good for soup. Anyone else have a pot they are bringing?

I have stove & 4 propane bottles, two pans, lid, cutting bd, knives, spatula and tongs. Paper towel, plates, etc.

Plenty of water, percolator, coffee (nothing fancy so bring your super blend if you want it, I'll brew it). Bring coffee cups.

No tire chains.

Night

Hanksville repeater will be the best one for us: 147.450. We were picking it up all the way at the boarder.

 

[coax]

Have a great trip all and drive safe! Snow on the roads here at 8k.

 

[OilHammer]

Anyone know if you can hook a car stereo amplifier into a HAM output jack? I have been using an mini jack hooked directly from the amp to my ipod for music, so the thought occured to me that I might be able to hear the HAM over the diesel a lot better through the stereo speakers. My radio is inside a tuffy, so it's kind of muffled.

 

[Caribou Sandstorm]

I am packed, my rig looks like I am making a run on extra Gas...

I also need to stop for beer. Beer and Powertank fill and I am on the road.

See you all on the road to no where!!

I have an extra chair Wes. It looks like I'll be spending the night with my brother in GJ, so I'll see you guys bright and early tomorrow morning at RV.

As soon as the locksmith is done with , we go!
