Maya Rally Questions (But Maybe Not Answers)

[Christian P.]

What charities will be beneficiaries from this event? Kind of along the lines of haven's question.

thanks for these questions, it is very helpful to help us. More details soon but regarding charities:

what I would like to do is to give back a portion of the entry fees to a group that work on restoring/protecting the Maya sites.
Also we would like to encourage people to do something on their own on the way back...more on this later...

5) Tell her that you are part of an Army that is to be secretly assembled to confront the dreaded Sparmish Army of the North.

Not so secret now..

5) Tell her that you are part of the rabble that is fleeing South away from the oncoming horde of the dreaded Sparmish Army of the North.

Fixed that for you. Only 11 more months until all the planning pays off... Levi, Jacob and the boys are like kids waiting for Christmas.

I know it is early yet and we are not exactly sure what you are coming up with....but I am going to throw this out there,

How about some Mayan Rally stickers that participants can paste on their rigs for the event? I would be willing to paste some vinyl on my doors for the event or just a bunch of stickers on my truck. I am also not a sticker guy on my trucks so it is a big deal to me!

Not sure I like the idea of supporting an "organism". Is this a single-cell or multicellular organism like a fungus?

Will there be any get togethers or festivities along the way or at the end?

Can I drive my wife's Camry?

All right guys, here an update on what we are planning. I know many of you are getting anxious...please feel free to ask your questions/comments:

-Departure will be from your home, anytime you want...you can take any road you want, bring as many people as you can fit, drive alone or in a convoy! it's all up to you
-We will have stickers to put on your vehicle (optional) and possibly a license plate too - vintage style.
-We will have a participant package given to you that will include the final details and goodies.
-The scavenger lists will be release to you right before you leave. In order to avoid cheating (not that anyone would do that...) we will have multiple lists (3) depending on your departure date (Nov 30th, Dec 7th, Dec 14th).
-We will have an optional pre-party/gathering around Dec 14th, most likely around Guanuajuato/San Miguel.
-We will also have a few optional activities that will help gathering points.
-Most of the events/activities for the rally will happen between Guanuajuato and Guatemala.
-The rally is open to everyone, with any vehicle. There will also be a special class for "human-powered" transportation (bus, boat, train....)
-That said, there will also be special points to achieve things related to your specific vehicle class (2Wd, motorcycle, 4wd)
-NoLimitX is working on a killer location for the final party. The place will be open for a few days, so people can arrive earlier.
-To account for the fact that we don't have all the details yet but people needs to make plan, we have a fee structure that increase depending when you register. The earlier the cheaper...but unlike Burning Man, we should not be sold out...



We are all super excited, but please understand that not all the details will be ready right now.
Details will trickle over the next weeks (and even months) as we finalized everything.

But regardless, you can be guaranteed a good time and lifetime memories!!!
