Rig requirements : 4x4, All Terrains, a small lift is recommended but not absolutely required. GMRS radio for communications, proper camping gear (beach), and highly recommend recovery points just in case we need to give ya a tug.

OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES

-I will have communications leading up to this trip to include a group chat, emails, phone calls, and Facebook discussions. 

-I will ensure you are fully informed and prepared to embark on this trip.

-Arrive to the rally point with a FULL TANK OF GAS!

-This trip is a matter of endurence and will require a tight schedule and good nights sleep. Once arrived at the beach is when we can cut loose and relax

-Some will choose to do only the mountain/beach section but the entire trip is highly recommended

-This trip will max out at 40 rigs. We will have a time delay between when team 1 and team 2 departures (depending on how many plan to do the mountain portion) IF YOU DO NOT MAKE THE CUT OFF, YOU STILL MAY REGISTER TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST, AND WILL BE NOTIFIED IF THERE IS A CANCELATION
