Leaving from Alaska to the "End of the World"
Just thought I would see if there is anyone in the north west headed down and when? We would like to maybe meet up and travel down as a convoy.
We can meet up anywhere along the way Canada to California, dates dependent and if anyone in Alaska is going and needs some help preping a rig I would be willing to lend A hand if needed.

Might be something i'd be intrested in depending on the route and how "offroad" you are planning on going. me and the Wife have 3 weeks off in December and would like to do something really cool. did you have anything in Mind?
oh yeah you can email me at cody_mcmillan at hotmail dot com if you want to get ahold of me on a more regular basis.

Hi Cody
Untill I see more about whats in store for the scavenger hunt Im not 100% sure yet. Im thinking we will be not doing anything extreme as we want to make it the End.
What are you thinking about driving?

not really sure yet, i was thinking about taking my bike but i might do it in the X5 if i can get it prepped in time, my biggest concern is parts availability. i dont even know if this is plausable yet since we where planning on going to Europe, which may or may not happen depending on funds as we are looking to buy a house in the enxt few months.

As for the hunt - not sure how to best answer this as the actual items will be kept secret until the beginning but it will all be doable in a normal 2wd car and will be some fun stuff such as visiting a Tequila factory or a remote secret beach...
We will most likely have some special sections for 4x4 but totally optional

I've looked into this a little more and i was thinking of giving myself a week to get to Mexico, Google Maps says its a 48 hour drive so that leaves some time to take it easy and enjoy it, the rally last a week and it would give me 5-7 days to get home as i only have about 3 weeks tops to do this. what where you thinking of doing? I dont mind pushing a little harder if thats what you where thinking IE make it down in say 4 days but i cant extend it any longer. i'd prefer to go in a convoy as i know my wife will be iffy on security especially driving in a luxury SUV (even if it is over 11 years old...)

Im thinking we should meet somewhere on the cali coast and drive into mexico as a team or convoy. This way it gives everyone a date to meet and we can all go to that point at our own pace. That way time restrictions for some wont be a problem. The important part is we travel in togather I think.
Just a thought.

agreed this might work pefectly, i get off this ship on APril 25th, i will be going over a route plan with the wife and try to divert her from the initial Europe plan, if thats a go then begines the vehicle prep. ive already been emailing back and forth to get some of the weaker BMW suspension parts rebuilt in chromoly
