Ok, the thing with putting information on Facebook instead of this forum was only an issue with me because I was concerned about missing information that I could use ie; dump locations, water things like that. I have no concern about not being with the "in crowd". I will say that others here have expressed that concern and it does seem kind of contrary to the purpose of the caravans.
About these lurkers, I still don't understand why it's an issue. In a sense aren't we all lurkers here? I mean I read many more threads than I post to  Huh
Anyway, it no longer affects me because I had to leave the caravan to take care of some things in Pahrump. So I just want to say here that I didn't feel that there was anyone at the actual caravan that would make anybody feel unwelcome regardless of their Facebook status. Quite the opposite. Randy is running a very inclusive ship and CB is rocking the desert  Big Grin 
Anyone thinking of joining up with the caravan should do so whether you're on Facebook or not.
Hope to see everyone at the RTR.

No it's not only an issue for you. Unlike today when I'm on my craptop I'm unfortunately usually on my phone to look up info. I've had a hell of a time using FB on it, deleted the separate an annoying Messenger and I'm not thrilled with their business practices to begin with. I'm pretty much through with it but have been dealing with other issues so I haven't gotten rid of it yet.

I have brain damage that makes understanding technical details and math related things a nightmare.  Please don't assume for me that I can just up and comprehend what you do.  My posts, requests and questions are directly related to getting and giving information that *I* can comprehend.  Thank you.
