"Judi, you will just have to head to the Dragon in the Spring."
If I can talk Cathy into coming with me that would mean three lovely ladies with which to spend time next spring at the lodge in Fontana.

Heya Franc, I just stumbled on a sweet deal on the charger/pair of batteries/car charger for my midland FRX radios. The complete kit (Midland model MIDAVP4) was 5 bucks plus 1/2 shipping special at 2.75 shipping, and they shipped same day! Its off of site mackspw.com, do a search for MIDAVP4 for compatability with radio types. It covers many radio types and models! Check it out if your radios are needing batteries and chargers including the auto cig lighter adaptor!

However.....
Most of the runs, whether on the Dragon or other routes are more like parades than autocrossing so itis easy to be gentle on your baby.
Just don't try to run with crazy guys like OleDoc2U and you will be fine.
As for the radio, I will be packing some extra units. Lay claim to one and it is yours for the weekend. See me Friday evening.
See ya there.

We would like you and Allen to both come and Apple Pie and Rum Cakes are always welcome and enjoyed by many.
Sorry there were no direct responses to your inquiries but as you said above you were gonna try and bring them.

So, I will be riding shotgun with Crumpy,,, a lot.
Been there five times. But, this time I might just get to see the Dragon and surrounds.
I hear it's purty.
