Itinerant Air-Cooled

heh...bringing back the dead on that reply :)

I used mine on the trip to Oregon last week, and it worked well. Great to be able to tell another bus where to turn or whatever.

Also, I got to warn some trucks when there was some loose stock on the road.

Remember walkie talkies when we were kids, with the horrible range and morse code button?

I tried a pair of "FRS" (family radio system) walkies enroute to Maupin. The interior bus noise at speed overpowered their puny audio output.

These might work well, and they come with earset-thingys that might help with the noise.

And you can call up people you don't know (other busses) without having the cell number, obviously. I like how they are independent of cell towers, too.
I need to get one again.

PS
Ever seen the movie, Joy Ride? creepy.
