Travel

Those driving will likely convoy together for safety and sanity. Since this is a group of wireless geeks, we'll probably have an 802.11b network running between all vehicles with passengers, including IRC and possibly VoIP. FRS radios would be a very good thing to have, since they work where cell phones won't, and have longer range than 802.11...

  • Oh my lord. Server inside the van? or should we just have an ad-hoc network, with somebody running irc? Anyone want to play Myth2 on the way down, or alpha centauri? --ForrestEnglish

There will be people from other groups who may want to join the convoy. Seattle Wireless, Ashland OR, Bay Area. Do we want to start an 'official' Community Wireless DefCon-X convoy? Do we want to try to sync up with any of the existing convoys going to DefCon?

Total Distance: 1143.04 miles Total Estimated Time: 19 hours, 48 minutes

Assume the van gets 11 miles per gallon, 2300 miles is 209 gallons. $1.50 per gallon is $312. Two people go in the van and thats $156 each.

Lodging

4pm Mon June 10, I called the alexis park hotel. rooms are available for defcon. $129.71 a night for up to four people in a room.

  • Be aware that rooms will be gone *very* fast. They were sold out a few weeks ago when the ShmooGroup guys were trying to buy tickets so a group must have cancelled. -- AdamShand.
