Why This is a No Frills Event and What you need to Know
One of the disorganizers has driven the entire route, but he has an unreliable metric odometer, so all mileage is estimated. Use a map and your best judgment.
The California map provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California, includes most of the roads on this tour (some roads are not well marked). Even the guy who lays out the route gets lost. If you have a GPS BRING IT
Start with a full fuel tank. Gas is available at several locations but there are some long stretches without gas. Keep your tank topped off.
You will need your drivers license, car registration and proof of current insurance to gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett
Carry a cell phone. If you break down you are on your own. Other participants may stop and offer help, because they are fellow gear heads. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own vehicle.
