@orangecrate whenever you and Dee know where you are staying (if in Toyhauler) let me know and will make reservations there.

I wonder if there's any 50" trails there to explore? :eek: J/K
Enough of the 50in trails,still removing tree bark from the windshield frame.
As soon as we get a handle on it we let you know.

What happened?? Did y'all go up/down a too narrow trail and get stuck?
As far as I have found, there aren't any trails a jeep can't travel.

Lol, maybe that will be a fireside story for Jackal to tell one evening.....

Btw Tex, just because you’ve never seen a 50” trail, doesn’t mean they’re not out there. ;)

Well, I've RSVP'd for the wife and I. Now, I need to find hotel/cabin accommodations while they're still available (IF they're still available). Look forward to the opportunity to meet [most] of you folks. :D:D:D

Just made my reservation request through VRBO for what appears to be a nice unit within the UTV-legal area of Silverton (subject to acceptance by the property owners of course). We're planning to arrive on Aug 30 and will be departing a day early on Friday, the 4th. Really looking forward to meeting and riding with you folks.

What about coms/radios?

Having never attended one of these group rides before, what is everyone doing re communications gear? I've got one of the ubiquitous Baofang BF-F8HP handhelds (callsign is KI5FOE) and an external antenna mounted on the Talon. If others are using 2m/70cm rigs, what frequency are you using?

Any other hardware suggestion?

This is what I’ll have installed in the Talon. I suppose frequencies can be synchronized when we get there?

Nice. I looked at those. Did you mount it in the lowest, small cubbyhole (assuming Talon) or elsewhere?

Steve
As I said, it’s what I’ll have mounted in my Talon. It’s currently in the P5, I’ll be moving it over so I don’t know yet for sure, but most likely it will be on the ROPS top left.
