Thank you all for signing up for this drive! I am happy to announce that myself and @Mike M. will be splitting the lead duties. No doubt it will be a great morning out in the sand.

Some notes before tomorrow:

1. Please try to arrive around 15mins earlier so you have time to deflate, set up your flag, and socialize. (or get a sip of coffee  )

2. We will be using Channel 10 on the walkie talkies: 446.231Mhz

3. Please bring your off-road gears as per your level. For Fewbies this is radio/shovel/pressure gauge/deflator/shovel/off-road flag.

 

See you all tomorrow morning!
