    I've lost track of my ride.

    If anyone knows how to get ahold of Soulfury or Grath please tell them to email or call me so I can get to PAX.

    Email: Lordmagus22@yahoo.com
    Phone 520-548-8703

    I'm really nervous that I might not be able to come now, if I can't get ahold of them I am going to show up at the phoenix rally point anyway just in case. Hope to see you all there.

    Dude where have you been? I have send you a couple of emails trying to get a hold of your and I never get any replys. Hell we even came by to your house for that party and no one was there. I am sorry dude but we had to replace you in our car cause I could never get ahold of you.

    Kyle :)

    anyways, RMD, let me double check what is going on. you will be calling me when you guys get to Anaheim, and again when you get to another locationthat is closer, and at the second call, I am to round up all the people for the the sacramento waypoint, right?

    hmmm yes i do need numbers... ill try contacting the drivers going on the supertrip right now

    edit: if you are trying to contact me on the phone, i may not be home at some points tomorrow. however, if the answering machines mentions the Goff residence, you know you've got the right number, just leave me a message

    edit X 2: hey RMD, i should just be contacting the people that will be at the sacramento waypoint right, not the people from chico or redding?

    So, does anyone think there will be an open spot at Sac left? My friend that's coming isn't going to be able to come with Arithena and me(Storm Shadow is bringing us now and he has no room), so he needs a ride. We would've all gone up with Futility, but he's not going anymore.

    Help?

    Nah, it's okay D. If my calculations are off and I ended up holding the WCST up for it, I'd feel really bad. =) We'll just mosey on up... perhaps we'll take our time and see some sights. Actually, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to given the WCST timetable before. Now we can take our time up there, so it'll all work out.

    We'll squeeze you two in. :^:

    Also, I'm really fucking tired. I'm gonna eat some ramen and sleep for four hours, and then wake up, putter around, and be on my way.

    But it's not for us two, it's for our friend. He's cool and all, and he'd post here if he had a computer that worked. So, if you could fit 'em in, that'd be awesome. We're getting a ride with Storm Shadow, whom offered and everything.

    Shit.

    There must have been some sort of error with emails because I never got one after I sent you the directions to the party.
    Also my directions must have been poor because the party was huge, there were tons of people there. Probably about 50 coming and going throughout the night.

    On that note, Kinda last minute, but in case someone has an open space in a car I will be showing up at the Phoenix waypoint. It's a long shot, but I gotta try.

    And so it begins...

    In a few short minutes (read: when my ramen gets done cooking), I will be throwing my stuff into the back of my dad's truck (named the Sand Rhino) and leaving for the Phoenix rally point.

    so far this entire event has gone from whimsical pipe dream to haphazardly-arranged shrugfest to full-blown thumbs-up party. There have been difficulties in arrangements, there have been timing issues... shit, there's even been a secession (just kidding Chico). but from what it looks like here, sitting atop a wobbly wooden chair in the Office of Doom, this could be one of the greatest experiences of our lives.

    Good luck, Godspeed, and may the Force be with you.

    Yes! I made Waypoint Hauptmann, wait... I mean Captain for Eugene, OR. To help prevent a lot of phone calls and put the minds of Eugenians at ease, here is the current plan:

    WHERE: East doors of Sears, Gateway Mall
    WHEN: We have a 9:00-11:00 AM window, Friday

    I've determined this site provides maximum visibility for cars turning into the mall, and is closest to the map coordinates as presented on the Supertrip site (http://www.doidic.com/supertrip/).
    The "old Emporium" location is out. Don't go there.

    As for time, I'll be there at 9:00 AM. We've got two more cars joing at or around 10:00 AM. We can hold off departure as late as 11:00 AM, but myself and passengers have dinner/movie plans in Seattle, and any later than that jeapordizes them. Sorry about my selfishness in this respect, I hope nobody gets left behind.

    What to look for: Follow orange cones to parking lot. Silver Honda Odyssey. Dude in blue and grey rain coat holding a 5 foot cardboard tube. Yeah, that's me. Call me James.

    If you want to join in: show up before 10:15, post here, email me using the link below or phone me Friday morning at 541-232-1645.

    Honestly, I'm not sure. There was a lot of talk on this board about changing the schedule of the supertrip, so I'm waiting to hear from them via email/phone/a post to find out the Portland ETA. (I missed RMD's phone calls last night.)

    I will add you to my list and communicate with you when I find anything out.

    From what I know, the Portland time will be pushed back from 10:30 AM to closer to 1:00 PM. The reason for this is because the Eugene PAXers (myself included) could not get out of work/bed/family obligations until 10:00. The Supertrippers were nice enough to accomodate us.

    That being said, I haven't received any updates from the road, so I don't know if they're even on track to make it to Eugene by 10. They should be two hours past Anaheim by now (5:00 PM PST).

    I'll be posting here as soon as I get more information. My last entry will be at 9:00 AM tomorrow, when I'll leave for the actual Eugene meeting point.

    Alright, official update to which everyone needs to pay attention:

    I called Benoit, and asked about how everything's going. They said that they are a bit behind schedule, but everything is still going strong. They'll be about an hour late to Sacromento, and about two hours late to Eugene and subsequent waypoints (at least).

    However, it may be a bit longer; they said that they may decide to stop and sleep in Sacromento or somewhere along the way before reaching Eugene, and if so then they'll be even more late. I'll contact them later tonight to find out what the story is, and I'll let everyone know.

    Here is a revised schedule, though it's an estimate, but it's closer to the truth that what is currently posted.

    3:00PM - Leave Rally Point #2, Anaheim, CA
    11:30PM - Arrive at Rally Point #3, Sacramento, CA

    * Miles: 418.2 miles


    August 27th, 2004: Friday
    12:00AM - Leave Rally Point #3, Sacramento, CA
    9:30AM - Arrive at Rally Point #4, Eugene, OR

    * Miles: 472.9 miles


    10:00AM - Leave Rally Point #4, Eugene, OR
    12:30PM - Arrive at Rally Point #5, Portland, OR

    * Miles: 107.7 miles


    1:00PM - Leave Rally Point #5, Portland, OR
    5:30PM - Arrive at Destination, Bellevue, WA

    * Miles: 183.5 miles


    6:00PM - Check-in to hotels

    That's if they don't stop to sleep. Again, I'll check with them later to find out what's going on, to keep everyone informed. Have a good wait, everyone ^^

    I just spoke with the caravan. As of right now (8:40am) they are just barely outside of Eugene, OR.

    The unknown is how long they are going to wait there. There was talk about staying there until 10am to wait for some other people. I asked them to call me back when they stop at Eugune and have a chance to figure out what's going on.

    Well, it's about 9:00 in the AM here in Eugene and I haven't heard anything. The PAX info hotline gives me a "phone off the hook or out of service area" message, so I'm hoping they're not pasted to the highway somewhere.

    I'll keep calling, but I can't post from the Gateway Mall. If it turns out they went to sleep and pushed back the Eugene meeting point time later than the 9:30-10:00 target window, I'll come back home and post an update.

    So here's hoping you don't hear from me until I'm at the Doubletree.

    See you at the mall,
