Stay tuned then, I'll be posting some info for a run on Mt. Sicker this Sunday.
Just two of us in right now but looking to make it about 4-5 max, hoping to show someone new around maybe.
We're lightly modified daily's so no crazy shit for us... well, maybe just a little bit of crazy shit... ;-)
I personally would like to go Saturday too but Sunday seems to be the day most people are free.
If you can't find a local run or at least a trail buddy by Thursday evening then perhaps we can figure something out.
The GF & I have this weekend off together which only seems to happen once a month so we are planning something for Saturday, just not sure if it's going to be wheeling or not yet...
I'm down to go out there almost any time but the top section does tend to accumulate snow and then melt partially and then collect more snow again so it can become like a crusty ice sandwich with little ice pellets, about the worst surface imaginable to drive on.
Almost everyone is now using VHF/UHF.
If you're on a budget you can pick up a set of 2 Baofeng UV-5R radios for a decent price.
They will be able to communicate with the FRS and GMRS radios out there as well as the commercial trucking frequencies and the resource road channels that are used for traffic control on FSR's. They come blank though so you need to have them programmed or buy the programming hardware/software to do it yourself.
I have a Retevis RT5 which is very similar to the Baofeng UV-5R, and it is compatible with my radio's programming hardware/software.

Are you free Sunday?

Sounds like the start of a good plan.
