It has been a tremendous aid to the Mountain Runs for every car to have a FRS radio aboard: someone makes a wrong turn, unexpected road blocks, etc. For those that have one, may I suggest you bring it, have it charged up, and tuned to Channel 5 sub chan. 3 (initially).

If you don't have such, and are thinking about getting some, now would be a good time. Radio Shack has them, and I recommend the Motorola "Talkabout" FRS radios which seem to be readily available there, and seem to work better than some (as we found out last spring).

Just a thought!

On another note: Are the routes we'll be taking toll roads? Specifically, I have an IL "I-PASS" transponder for local roads, but IF we cross through some toll road segments in WI, with "I-PASS" work in WI, assuming we even cross such roads in WI??

See everybody on Friday!
