i think it would be badass to have a cruise through the mountains on a honeymoon, me and the wife did that on our honeymoon but not with a group of people...
anyhow the big area across from hastings will be fine i'll update first post.

as far as i know mine are cobras from walmart... lemme look them up...
okay i have cobra microtalk li-6050
Radio information
link above click it to get more detailed info... as far as i know as long as it is a two way radio it should work... if all else get a cobra two way radio from walmart and it should work just fine...
my dad and i used these when we went on our vacation to orlando, fl. the battery lasted the entire way and worked great very little if any interference through atlanta or orlando, and we did not use any of the interference blockers, charged them and set them to the same main channel and they worked great, i figured we could set them all to the same channel when we meet up at 9:00 i figured if we meet at 9:00 that would give everyone a hour to get there and we will leave at 10am on the dot... so the hour before is mostly to get to know one another set the radios to the right channel if you are going to bring one... and check out everyones car etc. also you could just rent one lol, what i mean is buy one at walmart and return it the next day lol... walmart takes everything back... i work there i know.
most of these radios can be bought in a 2 pack at walmart for under 30 bucks a single pack you can get for under 15 probably.
lemme know if you need any more info.
just looked at walmart.com and target.com both of which looked like everything was over 30 bucks as far as two way radios go... i guess i might have gotten mine on clearance... but most people have a two way radio around the house already least most people i know as long as its a gmrs/frs should work just fine i believe.

I didnt know you had any members up this way. And actually, you do kinda owe me a trip up this way dont ya? If you can make it up, it'd be great to have you along. It'll be a damn nice cruise. I'm gettin the Z lowered this coming Saturday morning so i'll be in damn good shape by cruise time. As far as cops on the dragon, as Knoxbox said, drive like somebody and they wont say anything. I made a trip up there Saturday afternoon and had no problems at all.
But no invites to you guys, sorry 
We'll be...busy
