We will need to change the dates back a weekend to Sept 27-29th. If you can make it hope to see you there!PapaDave,
Sure wish that I could make this trip. This is the perfect time of the year to do Magruder!
I will just be getting back from a 8-10 day trip with some retired old fart friends in Montana. Maybe next year???

Most have GMRS, I have both. Any chance your HAM is MARS modded? That will allow Rx and Tx on the GMRS frequencies. But we can figure something out if not, I have a handheld gmrs we can use and just relay if we get really spread out due to dust.Is there a preferred comms? I have HAM.

Nice thing is there isn\'t a ton of turns (and we expect everyone to have the track download in whatever navigation device they choose) so coms are mostly for calling it hazards, incoming vehicles, and general chat.
