Google map shows its about 3.5 hours from Richmond Hill. Is that right? Are you guys crashing somewhere overnight? That might be a bit far for the little ones for a single day trip.

Are we still planning on meeting at the usual Timmies in Minden and if so the usual 9'ish?
Mike if that's the case, I'm not sure what route you will want to take to get there as you're kind of in the middle (we kind of come from every direction).. From Barrie it's aprox 1hr 50min to the meeting point...
We all run CB's (whether mounted or hand held), you'll need a tow rope/strap for the "just in case factor".. You can take out your carpets or get rubber floor mats... You'll need to bring your camera to get the before and after pic's... The little rug rats should have a good time... We've always got some on the runs...
Word of advise.. Make sure the Rubi is good and clean, nice and shinny... I speak from adivse the group loves when you show up like that.... heheheh
Hope to see you out.

Thanks Bruce, Minden's only a little over 2 hours for me and certainly doable. I was mapping to Cloyne as per an earlier post. Is there only one Timmies in Minden? If not, which one will you guys be at?

see you there man. Your stock Rubicon should be fine, and if you arent comfortable doing something there are a lot of "routes around obstacles"

My suggestion is if you plan on wheeling, I'd get a decent CB. Theres nothing worse than feeling like your "out of the loop" by not hearing whats going on. The handhelds obviously don't get as good reception as a base unit, but I may be a little bias!
