COOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

After a brief conference call ( 30 minutes, but who's counting

) with El Diablo our only concern is, we want to be early for cocktail hour in Phoenix.

We sure are.

For me it is about 26 hours behind the wheel but 25 years from now you kick you ass if you didn't have the guts to "get in the car".

These are the events that can be once in a lifetime.

Who wants the last drop?

I've already called to find out how many pumps they have and at Love's, he said at least 12, Pilot said at least 10, another 8 or so at Mobil and those are the ones closest to the freeway. I'm going to call every station in the area and give them a heads up and our approximate arrival time.

Also if you guys/galls could get there before us and be fueled already when we arrive it will get us in and out of there that much faster.

I have call into Arizona DPS Highway Patrol to see if we can get a traffic break (slow traffic a few miles back) at Quartzsite when we get back onto the freeway. If they can't/won't handle it, maybe a few of us can run back westbound and bring in our own traffic break.

UPDATE: AZ DPS will have all traffic slowed/stopped for us on eastbound I-10 as we enter the freeway leaving Quartzsite AZ

Just called all of the local gas stations and here's the latest:

Quote:

Love's-----20 pumps
5000 gallons
Kyle Mgr

Pilot-----8 pumps
7000 gallons
Deb

Mobil-----8 pumps
They'll be topped off
Eric

Quik-Chek-----12 pumps
5-7000 gallons
Pete

We will make sure you do. That is if you all don't party to much on your one night in Vegas!

The Vegas crew will have them as well!

IBM/2SS/RS/LS3 · 03-01-2011, 06:11 PM

I think the Cali group will be on channel 5.2

Is your plan to meet us in Quartzsite or join our group as we come through Blythe??
