I dont know how many but I know there are some...
Military experience in doing a convoy...Okay, it doesn't have to be that well executed, but a few things to make help everyone out next time.
I'd like to say...I too am guilty of passing the dirt bike, I didnt realize he was going to the game and I had no clue where the AO was myself.
Whoever was in the silver explorer, made sure he was the last vehicle...as we came out of the gas station he waved me in front of him.
I thought maybe he knew how to get to the AO? If he did, that's good have the lead and rear vehicles be very certain of how to get there, but then the last vehicle should also know who is going, not saying it was their fault for Chip? not making it...But some planning of movement before hand...i.e. a number count(of how many vehicles) or in that case..."don't forget the dirt bike" would be good too.
Strip map from the meeting place to the AO, those don't have to be fancy or take hardly any time to make, just bring a couple or 5 to the meeting and give them off to a couple vehicles(Also, making sure those 5 vehicles are not the in a clump of the first vehicles to take off from the gas station)
Don't want to use printer paper? Make it in paint or powerpaint and email it to me, if I'm going I'll print them. Otherwise, brief verbal directions prior to leaving the meeting so if you lose sight of a car in front of you you have a good idea how to get where everyone else is going.
If you get lost, pull over...Try to make this recognized by everyone, and if the rear vehicle exists make sure everyone knows who that is so when it passes you you get back on the road behind them.
It doesn't take ,much to get everyone where we're all going...But in this case it was simply a follow the leader and that doesn't always work
I'm not slamming anyone with this in any way, so I hope not to see a lot of argumentative and negative replies...until they say game on, we're all on the same team...so let's try and help one another a little more.
