For our big trip this year we decided to head to Glacier National Park. In looking at the drive time from Salt Lake City, we were seeing that it was over 10 hours. Given that we are traveling with a 5 year old, we just felt that it was best to break it up into two hops.

The other radio operators were on the other side of the sharp pointy mountain range or the right side of the picture above. We were specifically testing…
