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!

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

Guys,

I have some pics up in the general section.

Here's the current link to the ones I uploaded to photobucket

http://s517.photobucket.com/user/Nat...how/MMRsep2014

I cut these down, so if you want something hi-res, let me know.

I'll get the rest up tomorrow


Gary

I'd like to thank all of you that made this a great event today. It was also super meeting some of you for the first time. Hope to see you again soon. And thanks to Lee for that MAP sensor plaque. Rick Mackie of MMR was very impressed and really appreciated that. I saw him take a shot of it. I'm assuming it was part of a text to Mercury Marine corporate.

Also, here's a quick note from Rick from last night.

You and your group were a pleasure to be with. I posted some photos up on our Facebook. Thanks for the awesome day.

When I figure out a way to get physically comfortable in one.
