    We could all jump off at exit 6 and go towards town and meet you.

    Nice suggestion; might have to check that out.

    Most of us have portable units and should be able to get your reinflated. Could also grab my spare motorcycle one but that would take for ever to do car tires.

    I have a ton of FRS radios and could bring one and we put you on a frequency that we are all able to get to. Or Amazon order a baofeng today get it by tomorrow if its one day for your area; those would be options. Not fully necessary most likely but nice to have. So you are furthest east; what time could you leave AL?

    With you coming from RIC it might make more sense for all of us to maybe meet south in the Rapidan area and then all go north and do PMR last or even skip it? Thoughts?

    Ever just sit around, drinking good beer, watching the full John Wick trilogy, and think to yourself, "What I really need is a Kel-Tec KRS?"

    I start work most days at 0430, so just tell me when and where and I'll be there.

    As for GMRS, was looking at these:
    https://www.amazon.com/GXT1000VP4-C...1&sr=1-1-849f3c3a-785c-4812-aab6-3d7cb06022f2

    https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-MURS-V...o&qid=1604948408&sprefix=gmrs,aps,151&sr=8-10

    https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-BF-F...io&qid=1604948408&sprefix=gmrs,aps,151&sr=8-8

    I don't want to have any problems with going onto HAM frequencies, so that's why I was thinking of picking the Midland. But, if Baofeng isn't too complicated it seems to be a popular pick.

    Yes, but replace the Kel-Tec with the Benelli M4 :rofl:

    Nope. KRS. Google it.

    Not that I don't like Benelli, but I need to look a little more badass than that.

    Edit: whoops, missed a quote. Just turned the heat on full bore at work and I'm dying.

    my google fu doesnt seem to yield anything KRS with Keltec unless its a rapper we are talking about.

    https://www.amazon.com/Baofeng-UV-5...hild=1&keywords=baofeng&qid=1604964421&sr=8-5

    is a cheap 5watt portable radio; use mine for the fire department and off roading.

    Just came across this 3$ walmart FRS post:

    I stand corrected. It is KSG. Which is funny because KRS was bringing up correct results. That's what I get for using Bing at work.

    615 is bluff so we are in the correct area.

    @Usroadscholar do you have any of the older maps that we used the last time rolling through culpeper etc?

    I appreciate it, I’m thinking about getting the smittybuilt 2781 portable air compressor for Christmas, on board is sweet but with the wife’s Jeep I like having the option to move it.

    You are not the bad guy haha, I don’t have any either. This will be my first Taco meetup so I expect to walk away with a wish list. Didn’t realize you needed to buy a call sign from the FCC either... the to-do list increases.

    The old Audi crew used to run all events off the FRS radios so the cheap baofeng is just a graduation from those and ham capable. Wish list/tools needed will grow fairly quickly once you start going to see what other people had done.

    PXL_20201109_235556548.jpg

    If we are doing an all day event: Nick had mentioned to maybe grill but with corona etc I wanna say we would be better off packing out own sandwiches etc and find a neat spot along the route and eat outside. Any other suggestions?

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    Compressor update: Mine died. The other one I have won't work off the truck. I may hit Harbor Freight and grab a little one there.

    Radio: I did the Amazon thing and hope to have it set up.

    Meet up - Anywhere is fine - just send an address.

    Sounds like a good time. Been wanting a Sub 2000 for a few years now. Damn if they haven't gone up in price.

    Wednesday Veterans Day along Rapidan, Culpeper, Madison and PMR|Taskers:
    @Usroadscholar @Tiny's Taco @the.sight.picture @samer312 @Hafaday @03dumdum


    @Tiny's Taco you will prob join me and @the.sight.picture off exit 6 or if you wanna drive up at 13. @Usroadscholar same for you prob unless you wanna meet with @samer312 in Haymarket @ sheetz and then roll west/south depending on if we are doing PMR first or Rapidan. Maybe do something Warrenton if we hit the south first.

    @Hafaday will bounce you contact information tomorrow or we make a PM with everyone involved and exchange numbers so they are not publicly posted on this. Just saw your post to not redo our route based on your schedule. We had all done PMR before and can run it in the afternoon/evening on the way home. The Rapidan Area routes are new to most of us and might be easy or difficult. I'd rather do a new trail during the day than at night. Have no issues doing PMR or maybe even FPK at night since going through there multiple times. Nick usually eats FPK for breakfast twice a month in his rig and he can get us through if we decide to then detour.

    So Question: Go north to south and start at Peters Mill or go South and do something in the Rapidan area and then maybe even hit FPK depending on how things are going or what other roads we find/get told by others to explore? Then head north to PMR to finish it off?

    Hey bud.. Go here and search you last name to see if it has been completed.

    Change the drop down from call sign, to name. Type in you last, then search.
