That is along the lines of what I was thinking also. I will have to do the
math on when I will leave Tucson, but an 8:30 meet time sounds good. My
FJ-40 is comfortable on the freeway at 65 mph, anything over that and it is
a bit rough. It will do it, but it doesn't like it much.

I will have GMRS/FRS radios with us. I will also have handheld CB. I
won't have the range as a vehicle mounted CB, but we will just have to make
due. I will also e-mail Steve, and any other member of the strike force
who might want it, my cell phone number off list. ( I actually get
telemarkers from time to time on my cell)

The gate sounds like a good idea. Please post the coordinates when you get
a chance. As for permits, Ann and I will be in Phoenix on Monday to obtain
ours. I realize that this is cutting things a little short, but it has
been the first chance we have had. I think we will actually be heading up
on Sunday and hitting a few urban caches.
In liberty,
Scott
