@all Good evening everyone. This is the chat channel we will be using for the Dec 4th event during our travels. @Randolph IL will be the lead coordinator in my absence. We're still working on a few things including time for pickup but the locations have been chosen for where we will be getting each crew. Keep everything professional in this chat, thank you.

Should I bring my guys to your house @ND - Carter MO on Thursday night or @Kyle MO ?

I'll already have 3 men at my location. @Kyle MO are you fine with hosting these men?

I'll have Leo and Clarke from Springfield, and myself

I'm sure he won't have a problem with it but lets double check.

Yeah

And the meetup location Friday morning?

Walmart Supercenter
3270 Telegraph Road, St. Louis, MO 63125

Ok

A PDF will be released before the event, I'm waiting on responses from @Sean KS @ND - William OK and @Joseph IL

@Joseph IL are you picking up @Norman WI I need confirmation on this by tomorrow night.

He will be with us.

@Zach MO Yes you all can come to my house.

@all The bus has passed its safety inspection.

Based!

The nigrig exhaust 9000 was a success then?

Y’all ready to meet a clean shaven and 10 pounds lighter Billy

lanterns and hat lights should be arriving today

We realized for a temptag in our area it only requires a safety inspection not an emissions test. We'll see once I get real plates on her

@ND - William OK Everyone in the travel party is in this room currently. We will use this chat to coordinate

@ND - Carter MO add NW4 members to this chat when you get a chance before we leave please so there are multiple points of contact. We’re going to be sleeping/driving in shifts so you’re gonna want more than just me in here from NW4

Gotcha, will add tonight.

@IC - Jesse AR Who am I missing from AR?

@ND - William OK Who else needs to be added?

Please add @Cecil OK @Nathan AR and @Leo AR as well as @Mark SD since he is in AR currently

Ok added.

OK guys attending who need to be added: @Donald OK @Bryan OK @Loy OK @John OK @Marshall OK @ND - Carter MO

and @PF-9445

Yes they're here

Oh yes I was checking "online" instead of "all"

Better safe

Asked William but he hasn't got back to me yet, what time are we all supposed to meet in STL?

6:00 AM

Friday?

Yes

Understood

Walmart Supercenter, 3270 Telegraph Rd, St. Louis, MO 63125

I will be heading to STL via 44 up from Springfield tomorrow night at like 8 pm ish, if anyone else happens to be coming that way at the same time feel free to link up

My vehicle will be full though

Riding with Leo and Clarke

Do we wanna bring some baofengs for convoy comms?

Do you have any @Clarke OK

I can bring mine need be.

I had 6 that I brought to Philly that are still floating around there somewhere... @Thomas

Taped off my stuff with yellow masking tape

@ND - Carter MO I have 2.

And I'm bringing an antenna for Donald's.

If we need another I can bring mine.

does anybody have extra space in their tent?

I should

I have a 4 man tent if you need.

Bus has just gotten its plates and is ready to roll.

Awesome, Robert IN and I will bunk with one of you guys then

If I have all the parts to mine I may have some extra space. Will update this afternoon.

If anyone has extra of anything on the list please bring it.

@Adam IN I strongly recommend picking up a tent at Walmart. There are already several people saying they don’t have tents.

Any Farm and home store is likely to have a camping section as well. Tents are used for half of our events anyway so I would definitely recommend investing in one.

If I do make it... It's because I slept and am well rested... I'll probably have to drive alone.

Just drove 13 hours to Arkansas. Dead tired.

@Mark SD Could you arrange anything with the AR guys?

Do I need to bring my 1 gallon water container? I take it with me everywhere anyways. Let me know, running low on space

@Mark SD why would you have to drive alone? Four AR guys are riding with you.

@Mark SD No worries chief, the AR gang will take the wheel. We'll rotate out regularly to make sure no one gets too tired.

@Adam IN I am bringing a 10 man modified dome. No worries Brother we got a spot for ya

@Mark SD We'll take the wheel no worries Brother.

Does anyone not have a tent partner?

If someone has extra spikes please bring them. If nobody responds to this I'll just make my best effort to grab some before heading out.

I have 2 loose ones in my truck.

They're thin though

It's all good. I'll just use some of @Mark MO 's space.

Who all will be coming to my house tonight?

Me and 2 Springfield guys

@Clarke MO @Leo MO

@Kyle MO

Anybody have an extra mask? I can’t find mine

@Robert IL there will be plenty of extra masks.

I've got one you can have

I am bringing an extra mask and hat, Bros.

@Nathan AR Thanks brah

Our Terre Haute IN eta is 1030.

Hey boys I’m down with corona, just got some bad news Ethan wrecked his vehicle. Trying to find out details now

He told me as well. Coordinating with him now.

@all @Victor IN is in Crawfordsville IN with no way to get to the Indianapolis meeting spot. Is anyone able to pick him up?

I have gas money and I'll fill your tank up
