Travel Tips

What comes with you in your transportation pod?

  • Personal entertainment device(s)
  • Whatever you need to enjoy your last shower/self cleaning ritual
  • Monies for snacks/dinner/drinks/gas
  • Change of clothes (remember, we're setting up when we get there Sunday morn. Wear sensible worky clothes that will get dirty/greasy/shitty. You might be on your knees a lot, right di?, so jeans should be considered despite the hotness)
  • YOUR TICKET
  • Water bottle
  • Sunblock
  • Chapstick
  • Goggles
  • Hat
  • Dust mask/bandana
  • Personal multitool

What goes in the truck?

  • Tent
  • Sleeping bag
  • Furry clothes
  • Blinkies
  • i.e. Everything else!
  • LABEL YOUR SHIT! ALL OF IT! So it can be appropriately piled.

Number of Travelers

19 in total thus far (not all driving up)

Do you know the way to BRC?

We're sticking with the expeditious freeway route.

  • The 5 North to the Sac
  • Stay in the Sac
  • Take the 80 East to Reno
  • Get ice/gas/whores in Reno
  • Continue on the 80 East to the exit for the 447 North
  • Take the 447 N allllllll the way home


So...Whose escape pods are we taking?

Current available cars and capacities:

*Note: all numbers include driver

  • Wade - 4
  • Brigid - 4 (only needed if truck does not seat 4-6)
  • Dante - 4
  • Juliette - 4 (not needed)
  • Jeff/Meghan - 4
  • Truck - 6 (Per Avon)
  • Di - 3 (not needed)
  • Caleb - 4 (but only 3 when Caleb is driving)

NEED TWO EMPTY SEATS ON THE WAY UP (for Reno/Sac pickups)

NEED ONE SEAT EXTRA LEFT OPEN FOR TRIP BACK (Juliette only needs space for trip back to Los Angeles)

Confirming Alex will be riding up with the LA crew on Fri. Aug. 28. Whitney to meet in Sacramento (with all her stuff so leave me a little room). Whitney and Alex plan to spend the night at the hotel.

Alex will ride back down to LA with you on Sunday. I will also join you, leaving on Sunday, and would appreciate a drop off in Sacramento, where Derek will pick me up from a friend's house. If Sacramento is not on the way, I can fly to SF from Reno.

Thanks, Baby Yeti
