Action Plan:  A free spirited, round trip, fast drive, from one end of Lisaili to the other and back. Not much else to say.

Approximate finish time: 6:00 PM

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Dear @fareed khuraishi, thanks for joining the drive. However, this is a Fewbie Plus ranked drive. I will have to drop you from the drive, and hope you can join another one for the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hope to see you another time.

Dear Desertnauts

a quick run-down of tomorrow's weekend opening drive. As the title informs, it'll take place all over Lisaili, starting from the camel track to Solar Park and back.  The title also hints at a hopefully smooth ride, where, if all goes well, silence will be the noise we'll hear, like in a meditative state, rapt by the beauty of this area of desert. We are planning to keep the drive fast, and under 3 hours. 

The convoy order will be the following:

@Ignacio Quindós in Second Lead

@Stumpy Paj at #3

@Krishna R at #4

@Bjoern at #5

@Gok Krish at the Center position

@Mahmoud Taha at #7

@Tareq Al Turq at #8

@Jona at #9

@Joseph Raju #10, and 

@munkybizness in Sweep.

We'll pick the Carnity radio channel before leaving. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Have a nice evening.
