Good evening Desert Explorers!

The convoy order will be Gaurav leading with me in partial lead under his guidance and support. This is my fourth partial lead and I'm excited to be leading this drive and with many familiar faces and experienced FB/+ and Intermediate drivers. We have increasing levels of total number of drives and rank towards the back where we have a lot of talented drivers and with the JP in Centre Forward and Zulfikhar in Sweep.

We will use Carnity Channel 4, which is 446.081.

Get lots of rest and see you in the morning.
