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!

Just the Illinois roads are tolls. Dom has my cell number and I have his but no other radio. Used to carry a CB on long trips but don't any more. --Bob
