NorCal- Lost Coast Run

[Bigg50]

I'm sure that won't be a problem. I'm not sure where were we will be at this point because it depends on what we cover Saturday. But I'm sure we'll figure it out before you head to drop your copilot off.

Someone with a in truck VHF has to run chase so they can talk to lead, its ok with me to not follow... But you need the VHF in truck mount radio...

I bought the 5W handheld from Midland. It says 18 mile range, but given the terrain, prolly more like 9 miles. If we are all more than 9 miles apart from lead to last, I'd be a little surprised. However, this is my first run like this on 4 wheels, so who knows.

And I also am planning to bring my DSLR 14.4 camera. I am a published aerial photographer (hence the name PlotShots), so if I run ahead a bit, I can get some good pics of everyone. Just a thought.

First, thanks for Ice volanteering to take the tail gunner position. Ice is right that some one with a mounted unit should take the rear. I was hauling ass down Usal rd while MB was taking a more leisurely drive taking in the sites and I had a tough time hearing them at one point. This is heavily wooded terrain so the signal doesn't travel as far. Combine that with 10-15 trucks out and we'll be spread out much further than Ice and I.

I'm also thinking it would be wise for me to take a couple minute head start since these road are pretty much a one lane road. This way if there's a vehicle coming the other way, I can radio back to the group to slow down and try and find somewhere to pull over to the let the other vehicle pass. Some of the stretches of road get narrow enough where there's not much room to pull over.

Each truck with a mounted unit can rebroadcast oncoming traffic...
