There is a little blurb about all 3 Dales I wrote (must be ten years ago) on Ghost Towns dot Com
http://www.ghosttowns.com/
Have fun, I like that area and try to get out there every few years, but can't make it this month.

Thanks Steve, I think Dani has used it in her research for this trip.
Roster updated and repeater info added. I will send out the contact sheet shortly...

Oh, and the 'rents aren't taking their trip this month, so kabobs and dessert will be provided Friday night (mom is a chef).

I couldn't get my axles done in time, so I'm gonna have to back out. But I hope the rest of you have a good time.

Sorry I am late in posting this. Time was not on my side. I might even be able to make a few copies for people when they show up.
This PDF is some history of the places we will be seeing on this trip. I will also be doing a Joe report on the radio.
Please let me know what you think.
See ya'll soon

I think you'll need a deeper voice to sound like Joe
Looks like we'll have a small group for this trip, so that means more scones for me
Any special supplies we should bring ?

I love last minute installs.
So tomorrow morning, before I drive out, I get to:
- fabricate a bracket for the front half of the air tank so it doesn't bounce all over the place
- make 2 of the shortest air lines ever created (I need to go all of 2 inches)
- do the wiring for the on-board air
- test OBA, and fill up the rear tires (I think I have a leaky valve)
- test the new driveshaft at highway speeds
- test The Mule at highway speeds (the driveshaft kept me under 60 all the way home from Tucson)
