[Darkwing]

I'd like to get in on this run also. I have an extra radio to bring along in case someone needs it.

[Cheers]

I too have a spare radio and will bring it.

I'll be bringing two as well.

ok it looks like, right now we have 10 cars and 8 radios, that'll work. Thanks. some will have to send hand signals. This ride is going to be a BLAST. I'll try and get up there early in the week and run it so that we can secure a place for lunch and be sure the roads are all open.

Good deal. That will make it easy to communicate if someone has a problem. I'm glad that you got your husband come down.

I would assume FRS/GMRS.

We are good for an extra. I'll have a couple of HAM rigs too.

Oh sign us up, I proposed to my wife under Bridal Veil Falls.

Those little hand held 14 or 21 channel I'm not sure of the band but they are very common.

We'll just pick a channel with light traffic and use it. I also have a set with a private frequency that I can use for the Sweeper. That way we can over ride any conversation in case of a problem. This is probably the safest way. if any body has any other ideas we're open to any input. Thanks again for your support.

Count me in, also have the sweeper postion covered, and a set of radios. Looking foward to it. Twotoys send me an email on when you are heading that way may be able to do the run to Fontana together.

Hillbilly,
I think we're heading that way early in the week, Cathy's off all week. That way we can make the run to lmake sure the roads are clear. You and Beth are welcome to join us. At least that's the plan right now.

[Hillbilly]

Have to miss ya on the run down will be later in the week for us. Be careful on the pre-run, and not straighten out the roads to much. Later JC
