guys, this is Coloradozu. Small groups, no hurries. I'v never seen a particular trail group more than 1/4 or so apart...

I bet those hand helds would work fine for the trails.

On the other hand, if you want to talk to anyone on the highway on the way there, then you should definitely invest in a small magnetic antenna. Should be able to find one for around $15 or so at a truck stop.
