The mission is a go… We are leaving.
Every member of our group is fully
convinced that getting Alex to whatever authoritarian government is out there
is of primary importance. So we are now moving in a serious direction to get
the bug out vehicles equipped and ready to move.
Before, we were more or less
lackadaisical in our preparation because there was no real sense of urgency.
Again, we were sticking with the Year One plan. But now, our group is moving
with a purpose. And our target is Tinker Air Force Base southeast of Oklahoma
City.
Seeing so many military aircraft in
flight, it seems to be the smartest course of action. So we have started
stockpiling the three buses that are going to be our convoy/caravan. It is a
lot of the essentials. We are overstocking the buses because we don’t know what
we are going to be facing.
Previous trips down to the outskirts
of Tulsa have proven that we are not exactly hopping on the turnpike and
strolling down the road. We might be taking back streets even rural roads to get
there. And there is no telling how long that would take.
Normal trip would probably be about
three and a half hours. I bet it might take us a day. We are not going to be
going 90 mph down the road. The buses have not been outfitted with cowcatchers
so slow and steady is winning this race.
Weapons and ammo are a priority. There
are sleeping facilities and toiletries on the bus. In the case of emergencies,
we have even filled some of the sealing 5-gallon buckets from the bakery with
kitty litter. Crude but it should be effective. We only stop if we have to.
It is going to be interesting, I can
tell you that.
