yes, I don't think that would be an issue. there might be a couple of "late night celebrations" along the way but other than that, I don't see a reason why not.
Who would be interested in a 2012 "End of the World" Maya Rally?

A couple of friends and I have been toying with the idea of putting together a one-time event to coincide with the apocalyptic vision of the Mayan people.
:sombrero:
We would be putting together an expedition/rally/treasure hunt from the USA to Tikal (or nearby) in December 2012 - so we can be at a premier Mayan site on the Dec 21st 2012 "end of the world" date.
The overall plan is to drive from the USA with your own vehicle, collect some items along the way that are essential to survive, and accumulate points in the process. Whomever finishes with the highest number of points would win a significant prize.
The rally would end nearby a Mayan site with some sort of celebration. It would not be about speed and would be open to all kinds of vehicles. Spaces would be limited.
This is still just a crazy idea and we have not put much research into it, but I'm curious to see what you guys think.
Would you participate? Would you like to help organizing it?
[/QUOTE Gives a whole new meaning to the term "Finish Line". After 7 years of sick.......this seems like I might just be interested. Subscribed!!!!

If I go it will because my health finally allows it and it's the END OF THE WORLD. I do not expect a trophy for that.......who would I show it too!!!!:wings:
All I expect is help if I get stuck parts if I need them and someone has em. Great company! If I was young I might hope for a few more things.....but I'm not. Would be a great place to be at Xmas time. Yessiree Bob (Dog):coffeedrink:

This would be awesome, celebrating the end of the world, at a Mayan site...chilling out on a temple (if you can even do that??)
I'm down...now just to hurry up and finish up the Jeep, if that doesn't pan out I may have to take the Jetta, but hey I'll take that thing off road for a chance of a life time.

Call me a skeptic about the end of the world this year...
I love the idea for the trip and party though
Has this question been asked? Won't many of the Mayan sites be the sight of a mass migration???
Even though it would be hectic, I'm down, I think it would be a once in a lifetime experience!

So everyone here is a question:
would you prefer:
a) ending around Palenque in Mexico/Yucatan Peninsula (or perhaps Cancun). Route would shorter and only one country to cross in. More people to party with.
b) ending in Guatemala around Tikal, going through Belize. Route would be longer and a bit more challenging (more border crossing).
thank you!
