I did this last year and it really rocked. I'm not really sure when I'm leaving as my plans for early entry aren't solidified. If they don't work out, I'm leaving on Saturday the 25th. If they do, I'm leaving on the 18th, with a stayover to the 19th in Reno to provision up. We spent the night in a RV park and went to Costco the next day. Last year I had 9 people in the 32' motorhome and though it was loads of fun, it was a bit much on the rig as all that extra water, bicycles and luggage really weighed a ton. Last year I also had people just pitch in what they felt like but I subsequently got killed on the fuel costs. This year fuel is a lot more, but it is what it is. I really thought I'd burn out my transmission. But still, it was an adventure and an experience and I made great new friends.
