n35 58.160 w116 55.642 isn't that Friday night camp?

Carlos I have some questions...
1) what are the GPS coordinates for each nights campsite?
2) do you have a GPS track of our route we can plug into our GPS systems?
3) what CB, FRS/GMRS & ham/2m frequencies will we be on (primary & backup in case the primary is in use)?
4) who's keeping track of who's coming and what their cell number is?
As it stands right now there's a chance I'll be staying in Barstow on Thursday night then driving to DV at 5:00 am on Friday instead of arriving at camp at 3:00am.

I PM'd Carlos on Fri suggesting breaking up the group due to the DV park rules about the total no of vehicles and people. As of my last count on Fri we had 22 vehicles and around 42 people. I didn't hear back from Carlos yet but I'm thinking he must be busy like all of us and may need our help with the logistics since it's a pretty large group.
To get the ball rolling, for the radio frequencies, here's my suggestion:
HAM Radio: Simplex freq 146.460 (preferable mode of comms)
FRS: 13 - as in Feb 13
CB channel: 13
If we find other groups using the same frequencies we'll adjust them if needed.
Meeting points and coords for Thu, I've never been to this part of DV before so these came from the Wikipedia page but looks good on map:
Trona Pinnacles (35.617134,-117.36836) : http://goo.gl/maps/8I0V2
As for splitting up the group (at least from the campsite perspective) those who are arriving on Thu could be one group vs. Fri and so on? We can then exchange cell#s within the groups as most wouldn't want to enter 22 cell phone numbers
We can continue to cut-and-paste the list below as we respond?

As posted we will arrive on Saturday so meeting at Furnace Creek (if that's still the saturday camp plan)

Looks like first come yet they have a reservation line - Govt. organizations - ugh
Reservations for the Furnace Creek Campground and group sites are now available by calling 1-877-444-6777 or by going online at http://www.recreation.gov.
