Seems like I read somewhere about a 2 way radio... Will we need to bring that with us?

A radio is not required but it is much more enjoyable if you have one.

Yes, If you have a FRS Two-way radio please bring it with a full battery charge.
Frequency to set the radio on will be announced at the driver's meeting.

Yes, kind of. A standard walkie-talkie probably won't have decent range. A lot of members will probably bring an extra, since they generally come in pairs.

Lunch Update for Spring BMT!
Food: We will be having lunch at Kelley's Country Kitchen in Marshall, AR
They will have a lunch buffet and salad bar set up for us as well as ordering off of the normal menu.
Lunch buffet price : $8.99 + tax (Does not include drink)
Menu orders are what you will see on the menu.
We ate there on the pre-drive and the food was very good! They also have a large parking lot to accommodate us.

MAKE SURE TO BRING SOME CASH THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS!!

Jerome,

How about the leg following lunch?
