I've had enough of the "caravan from the meeting palce" idea.
Let me relate a little story why.
Today we all met up at the Conoco and head out from there at about 7:30, we're all on FRS channel 4, and i'm behind a blue jeep to the front and a silver truck to my back.
The front 3/4 of the caravan is cruising along through the hills at around 75. Well sorry, my old dodge has a tough enough time doing 55 up those hills (If you want to complain about this I suggest YOU pay to buy me a new car). All I heard on the radio tho was "Tighten it up", well to me that would seem to indicate that the first person in the caravan needs to slow down to keep everyone together, since the whole idea is to try and make sure nobody gets left behind.
But eventually the silver truck behind me and the car behind him pass me.
We get close to the sunflower turn and we notice "aren't those our guys heading back the other way?" So I jump on the radio to find out what's going on.. dead air.. try to raise anyone.. dead air.. finally I hear "*crackle* four peaks *crackle*".
Of course by this point we're a good 5 miles behind everyone else, I can't raise anyone on the radio and what's worse, not me, nor stormfire nor our passenger has any idea where the Four Peaks AO is.
So we head back down, and after 2 1/2 hours of trying to find the group (all the while trying to send out calls on FRS channel 4 and getting no answer) we head home.
This isn't a new issue, someone seems to get left behind each time we go out, but nobody seems to want to do a damn thing about it, I just hear "Oh, make it to the meeting place and you'll get there".
Frankly the next time a game goes down you'll see me at the AO, not at the "meet and greet". And i'll be posting Maps and directions on the thread, along with signs at the turnoffs.
If you're paranoid and don't like that, tough luck, i'm sick of people getting left behind.
