No worries doode, I'm blowing Monday off if need be ... I've done had it with the BS around here ... what they gunna do, fire me!? LOL!

 

At what kind of ungodly hour are you guys meeting up thought!? If it's like 8 AM expect to see me rolling in somewhere around lunch LOL! Maybe not quite that bad but ... will definitely be a wee bit later in the AM.

 

Alright guys .. me not being more than a novice at best .. anything above and beyond a couple of tow straps I need to bring with me??

 

Don't know the time yet. Also, they all have CB's in there trucks that they use. I have little walkie talkies that have a 7 mile range. Apparently they all say have a CB. I don't think I'm going to have one. I have WAY too much crap in my truck the way it is, unless I can buy some cheapy one somewhere.

Also, you are required to have a fire extinguisher in your vehile, and you cannot have anybody in the back seats. The rules are on the park web site:

its a 4 hour trip for me too... I have the cb.. and i can get a fire extinguisher too... and i have 2 ways.. just for good measure.. lol


i dont have a flag.. but i can probably find one somewhere...

 

Yep, I'm lacking the flag myself .. just picked up (ordered) a handheld cb (http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=family) for good measure ... I have the extinguisher already so ... Any suggestions on where to get these Q@#$%!@#$ flags!? I would think any offroad place online would have em ... just too swamped to go huntin' for it right now LOL!

 

try walmart.. or any place that sell bicycles...

 

Duh, major brain malfunction there .. thanks JD!

 

I think they give you the flags. That was my understanding from the site. I'll ask Mike.

 

you really should go get a cb. we tell everyone on our runs to have a cb, and it's downright @#%$#@^%^&*&$UCKING frustrating when you're trying to get someone on the radio and then realize they don't have one. the 2 ways are great, we have them in front and tail, but the cb's are better, that way everyone can hear what's ahead on the trail. plus, you can use it to reach out for help if necessary, there are too many codes on the FRS radios to have as good a chance to reach someone else. they're only $100 for a handheld cb at radio shack (although the distance on them blows), but i think you can add an external antenna. they're a good idea, i'd recommend you get one. but, that's just me, and i won't be there to rag on you for not having one.
