Initial mission rules and briefings have been added to the original post to allow participants to familiarize themselves with the actual event's ativities. Remember, these are a work in progress and may change up to the actual event date and the final version will be posted on AA and emailed to participants by October 31st.
To accommodate the number and types of vehicles our guests will be bringing out for this event, we will be designating the area right before the big wash crossing as the staging area for this event. This will allow guests to bring pretty much any vehicle of their choosing and not worry about whether or not they can make it out to the event due to the road condition.
We will ask people arriving to pull off the side of the dirt road before entering the big wash and park their vehicles in an orderly fashion and prepare for the event as usual from this location. Be sure not to block the road or the entrance to the big wash in order for staff to get to and from The Sandbox easily.
We will be conducting our usual check-in, chrono, safety briefing, and Mission 1 briefing from this location. Teams will depart from the new staging area for Mission 1. Participants should carry ample food, water, and supplies with them during the event as we will not plan on returning to the staging area as a group for the duration of the event until it ends. Those who wish to return, may do so during game time or during breaks as long as they clear their weapons before heading back across the big wash. Before the game begins, we will have a couple of staff vehicles and designate vehicles of participants capable crossing the big wash to ferry supplies for later use after Mission 1 to The Sandbox's typical staging area. Designated vehicles will be allowed to go back and forth between The Sandbox and the new staging area during breaks to let people to return to their vehicles.
We will try to have staff on hand at the new staging area to monitor vehicles, but remember we are not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
We hope you understand that we are trying to limit the impact on the dirt road leading in and out of The Sandbox due to the number of vehicles expected as well as preventing vehicles from getting stuck in the wash or crashing into the various road hazards along the way.
