Who's ready? Who's not? Who needs help getting ready and who can provide that help?
I see lots of new names on the list and am looking forward to this year's rally.
See y'all in 6 weeks!

Just need to get a few more goodies and get a tune on the car and she'll be more than ready. Hopefully we have enough gas money to make it to the end! haha.
If anybody semi-local needs any help to get ready, hit me up.

Picking up some little things here too. 2 ways, camcorder mount, Blackberries from other carriers to tether the PC to the internet. If my Verizon wont work then hopefully one of the others will Cant find the stupid scanner though, moved so many times since i last used it who knows where it is. Cant wait! Will be getting the car serviced a week or so before we leave.

Sean, you going to provide a cell phone list for all the participants in case we get split up and need to contact each other?

I can speak from experience that Verizon works better than sprint on these trips. two years ago I used a VZW aircard to stream a live webcam the whole rally... Worked GREAT.. And i'll have my VZW BB with me too... we'll have to exchange PIN's at the start. I'm wondering if Dmitry & I should load up my firepower (Radar, scanner, CB), or do like last year and fly solo... ;D Lights should be all wired up by the end of the weekend... Made the relay panel tonight... (Just because i'm such a picture whore)

Thats Dusty's car... And the band-aid was my idea... Somebody hit him in a parking lot and took off... And maps eh?? SWEET! I love me some maps... Others I know... Not so much... Time to start finding more atlases... edit: Just found some obscure New England atlases... ORDERED! ;D double edit: And I might borrow my dad's kindle and have it loaded with a bunch of backroads maps too...

I've done one day poker rallies but nothing like this. Its going to be quite an experience. I'm getting my list of things together to bring along.

We picked up a couple more state Gazetteers last night (after rallying some NH & VT back roads in a 18,000 GVW box truck for work) and I've got some meager Hella 700FF on the way to mount up (even though I just plan on staying within a few miles of Dimitry and Noah so we can follow their beam).
Getting antsy......
