10 would be great unless someone else prefers another time.
Does anyone need help finding their way? We can meet at the McDonalds if needed.

RME BBQ at Old City Park -
Remember, the BBQ is at a different park than last year. It's at the Old City Park which is a little further south than the other two parks.

Well I guess i'll be driving down by myself. We just got a dog yesterday and he hasn't had all his shots yet so we don't want to risk anything. This just means I can be a little more ballsy than I would with the wife and kid in the jeep.

Just a reminder to everyone, you have a few days left to get your CB installed and working. A cb makes the trip twice as fun.
Mine tuned is already to go. I found out my neibor is a CB dude. He came over and was all excited and tuned me in.

Thanks for the reminder. Hopefully I have time but I have no tuner and have no idea how to do it.

I have a tuner. If you guys remind me, I'll bring it to Moab with me, and we can tune them out there.

So... Any recommendations on cheap ones? (which one and where?)
And the plan is still Kane Creek at 10 on Friday?

Flying J has this antenna. I've been very impressed with it:
http://www.amazon.com/K-30-Magnet-M...2V20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306271290&sr=8-1
recommending CBs is a touchy issue. Everyone has their preferences, but here are mine:
I STRONGLY recommend a magnetic mount antenna for the following reason:
- no mount required (this is HUGE). Just run the cable out your window, shut it in your door, out your sunroof, etc.
- self-grounding
- it simply tips over when it hits a tree/brach (rather than breaking)
- you can remove it when not in use
- you can place it on the center of your roof, where you get the best reception
- it comes with the coax cable, so that's one less thing to buy.
- no adapters needed, it plugs right into the back of your CB
The key to good cb communication is having a good antenna that's grounded well. I'd say 95% of CB problems are related to the antenna not being grounded well enough. Which is why I really like the magnetic mount antennas. They're always grounded well.
I've had plenty of cheap $35-40 CBs that have worked fine, assuming the antenna is set up well. Out of all the radios I've tried, I like the Uniden 520xl the most. It's small, very high quality, sounds great, and sturdy. And it fits in the ash tray slot for toyotas, so it looks like a factory install. Only catch is that I don't know where to get one locally.
I will say that I haven't had a good experience with my hand-held CBs, the walkie-talkie kind, and the Cobra model 75WSXT. I liked the concept, but it didn't reach very far, and it wasn't very clear.
