This is probably a terribly low level question for most of you with CB's and 2M's and HAM's and Turkeys and such, but im trying to find a simple solution.
Some friends and I are planning a 4 day trip to Moab in early June. There will be 4 couples in 4 vehicles (2 equipped Tacomas, a YJ and a Pathfinder). We will be driving from Denver, to Moab, doing some trails, and then back to Denver. Will be staying really close the whole time and probably be doing the more popular trails like Fins n' things and the like. Not all of us have CB radios so would some Motorola walky talkies do the job? Im not sure if people want to invest in a CB setup for this trip but I would like us to have some form of communication. If this is a ridiculously stupid idea let me know and ill shut up But I thought it might be a cheap and simple way to solve the problem.
Keep in mind, as much as I would love to get "off the beaten path" we will be camping in the sand flats campground and doing the more popular trails, so we would not be too far from help if need be.
If I am indeed off my rocker with this idea, could you guys direct me to a somewhat inexpensive CB setup that will "do the job". Nothing super fancy but a good value setup.
Thanks everyone.
