Van-

I think I have a Cobra that I'll put in with the other goodies. In the meantime, use morse code on the horn. . .I finally mounted the train horns from my truck!

See you there--hopefully it's not too muddy. Keep an eye on those gauges--we don't want your new motor to start making metal. . .

I'm watching the weather every day. . .it looks like it's getting better, but I'm still going to be cautious of the gully to get to the north side of the campground. I'm sure there's plenty of tow trucks to pull us out if we bury the axles!!

Go team red!

Van, your gas tank will be here at my place these storage fee are getting steep LOL.
That place could be a hellua of a mess they had a flood in Sept and the Gambler had 2 ft of water and you could not even get in Rice Ranch.
They were waiting on a tractor to level the washes.
Me I am going to be real careful you know the guys didn't compact anything non compacted soil and water make for trouble 1 drop of water and I am out of there

Like wise Clifford, is there gonna be any room left for the eagles on the south 40, probably not huh? Oh! and wich way do you go? Havasu or down the Calif side? just curious. as was said earlier, the Ca side is nothing but crossing gullies and flash flood warning signs and boring too, what say you :roll:

Paul,
I didn't see anyone mention it, but we all use our CBs when in caravans. A good example was when just last month, there were 5 of us that caravaned from Laughlin, NV to Quartzsite. The CB is a lot of fun in that type of use and very practical too.
FWIW,
