Ray, Excellent advice. I just printed a copy for my navigator's use. Thanks, Rod bbbigray <bbbigray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi List! My two cents on traveling in groups to Pigeon Forge: Carry Walkabout-type walkie-talkies for the road. (Almost all brands can talk to each other, but watch the sub-frequencies--the cheapies can't do these.) Why? It's easier to pick up joiners along the way without stopping. Your driving will be far more organized, safer, and your blood pressure will thank you. Instructions and distress calls are instantly heard by everyone. (Much easier than cell-phones, unless you have one continuous humungous conference call and stock in the phone company, I suppose.)
