Mark,
They won't send a confirmation. As long as you got your registration in around the cut off date, you'll be fine. When you get there and go to the tech inspection, you'll be told to park. After you pull in and park, go up to the TDS registration area and go to the line with your last initial (ex: A-G. H-L- etc...) there you'll get your registration packet- including your raffle ticket and front TDS Safari sticker (needed to run the official trails). In addition, if you ordered any t-shirts (I got two) or hats or anything like that, you'll get them there also. Go back out to your044runner, grab one of the inspection guys, put your sticker on the front and your done! Then go party, wheel, setup camp or what ever floats your boat!
Mark, PM me over on 120, we can exchange phone numbers on so forth.
Robert

If we can get a consensus, ch. 17 is fine. I'll let others in TTORA and 120 know, as well as my group.

I'll be rolling in Sat AM early. I am usually on Chan 22 (for USS England). We plan to do the TDS follow the way run sorta' thing in the AM and then something else later in the day and know the area pretty well . . . have lead runs in that part of Anza Borrego before.
The best places to camp are to follow the road to the end of the pavement and then up and over the hill, then on following up the wash a little nearly to the hills. I have GPS for the spot we’ve used before if that’ll help you guys. That way you’re back out of the regular mayhem which you’ll pass through on the way.
Folks definitely should think about paying and running the thing the Heeps do. It is fun and the Heepers are nice people!!! The proceeds go toward keeping the trails open and that helps us all!!!
Just my two cents.

I'll just roll by Mikey's house and ask him to put it up on the curb a bit so I can say that I saw the Fartruk in action Seriously though Mikey, too bad you have to stay at home for this one.

The fartruck is just a bi-product of the photochopping phenomenon, it is actually just a 2wd gardner's truck that Mikey has artisticly devloped with imaging software over the years.
If that isn't a run on sentence, I don't know what is.

Dennis,
Although no one has given me a consensus on ch #17, it doe's seem that that is where it looks like everyone will be. I gave you the description of the trucks in my group from Las Vegas on TTORA
Plus you have my phone #, and I have yours. We should be able to hook up down there. Don't know if my Cingular reception is any better there than it was last year. I had phone reception on the top of the hills, but not much in the valley & washes.

Just curiosu, but, is everyone that is going paying to go with the organized group? or is anyone just tagging along like I am?
If there are others like me, I think we should organize the unorganized scragglers. Just a thought.

In camp you should have reception, though to be honest, Cingular rates kinda’ low, I had them and couldn’t get a signal in parts of my house!

I think, and this is just my two cents and I ain’t demanding folks do anything at all, but I think that folks should pay if they go. The event, porta-potties, coverage and all costs TDS money and the profits then go to off road groups that are working to keep the trials open for us (including the reopening of relatively nearby Coyote Canyon). Crashing that party is just bad etiquette. As a group, all 4-wheelers, simply must have unity to win these fights. Please pay and participate, get your TDS sticker and be a part of the team.
OK, off the soap box . . . rain this week but AZ looks like it’ll get maybe one day of rain and be dry for the event (but for some washes maybe).

From the size of this event, I doubt that you not paying the registration fee is going to break them. I mean, it's not like you don't want to pay, you just have a situation and I'm sure you could make a donation to the club after the event and you have the $$$. Let's not bring the issue of money into this thread before things get outta hand.

How much is this run. One of my friend said it's liek 70 bucks. But now one of my buddies says it's liek 20. If it's that cheap I could probably swing it. I've never been out there (or at least it's been a while) so I'd rather run with a group.
