Q2	If I sign up for less than the full seven days, how will I get back to my vehicle?

Q4	Are the people running the Rumble paid?
A4	No, everyone you come in contact with do their work gratis, out of love for this trip.
Q5	What kind of luggage is okay?
A5	Normal duffel bags or packs are okay. Please limit the weight of any given pack to 50 lbs.

A7	If you have included an e-mail address in your registration, you will receive notification that your check has been received. Everyone that has registered will receive more information via U.S. Mail in early July.
