for the detail work. Stoney's got a pretty good handle on the details so far....I think most the detail will need to be done on the 19th of April when we do the test run. Plus we can only plan certain mass stops, but I guarantee that I (and others) will stop more often to take some pictures etc. I like your stop area ideas because it would plan for like a "layover" time of 15-30(?) minutes per stop for breaks or for others to play catchup with the group. Keep in mind of the unpredictable stops and starts of the other vehicles, animals, RV's and tour buses on the route as well. We don't know how crowded each area is going to be, but we plan on getting a pretty good idea of the general size of each stop to see if can accommodate an entire group or not. There's just a lot of logistical things that need to be considered and I like that you thought of that - are you going to make it to the mock drive?

I can tell you now its going to be fucking crowded with the H.O.G rally coming through there just a few days after..

I am probably not going to make the test run, its a long ways to drive.

spare motor for exchange at roadside rest stops

ok for real
oil
extra coolant t
throttle cable
clutch cable
stoney bring steering rack
water
switch to rig up for fan
zip ties
you never know lots can go wrong on A1's

I think we should all agree to bring certain things ahead of time. And do a check list the night before we leave. As for the steering rack I'll also bring spare steering rack straps haha.

Yes, there is a place to to pull over on the edge of the road to wait for people to come through. But it could only handle maybe ten cars max.

It really shouldn't take a long time to get the cars into the park. I'm going to put in a call to YNP and see if we can send in money and RSVP things early. Basically each person will send money to me along with all of their information, and maybe I can run down the day before and have them print me out all of the receipts and such. Then I'll just have to hand out everything to people because it's really, really quick if you just have to flash them your receipt. You're on your way in just a few seconds.

There are numerous pullouts along the way so its hard to label what ones to stop at.

I've thought about walkie-talkies this entire time and it's the best way to communicate considering that there is NO reception in the park. Front and rear cars should have CB's though. Wade, think we could rent two CB's for a weekend?

We will be labeling pull-outs on our initial; run through so no worries there.

I agree, agree, agree.
People are going to want to stop more then the planned stops, so just a couple mass stops will be much eaiser to maintain. Once again, walkie talkies would come in handy.
Alot of logistics won't be ironed out until after the scouting run.

I updated the main post and added material and suggestions from everyone!

Thanks for all the help so far everyone.
