A couple of questions then...
1) i know locations are still in the air but in which-ever scenarios how far will we be from vegas on saturday?
2) Oh, will we be doing (or will there be any time for any hiking?... or hot springs for that matter?
The closest we would likely get is ~140 miles (or 2.5hrs according to TopoUSA). That would likely be Saturday Evening. But as stated the route is up in the air.
I am certainly up for hiking and will most likely have my mountain bike along as I am transporting it back from an adjoining vacation. There are lots of opportunities for hiking around.

Then some practical stuff...
1) so i don't have the radio... Alan you said you had something you could rig up to work?
2) Cabin air filter... alan, you've got something rigged in your truck and i'm thinking this is a fine time to implement that on mine... what hardware cloth did you use? You just bought cloth, made folds by hand, and stuffed in in somewhere?... i just searched the picture you posted a while back, but i wasn't sure if the new one is shown fitted completely or in process.
I'll need to test the radios, but I have several operating on different bands. One will surely work. The cabin filter would be easy to do in person. The basic design is to use some metal hardware cloth (~1/4" weave) to provide a floor to keep the element from falling through onto the AC condensor. Then cut a pleated filter element such that it is 1-2mm larger than the rectangular opening. Pleats should run front to back for maximum air flow. OK, so I'm not an English major ... now you've made me go and shoot a picture ...
