just thought of it right now. are we going to have walkies? especially if there are going to be some runs on the way there...
GREAT idea! Barring someone bringing along 3 or 4 walkie talkie handsets all capable of communicating on the same frequency, we may have to communicate among multiple cars by:- Three folks bring their standard 2-handset walkie talkie (WT) sets, with each unit designated as WT1a/WT1b, WT2a/WT2b, and WT3a/WT3b.
- Rear Car A uses only WT1a to talk with...
- Mid Car B, who has WT1b and WT2a, and can talk with Rear Car A and with...
- Mid Car C, who has WT2b and WT3a, and can talk with Mid Car B and
- Front Car D, who uses only WT3b to talk with Mid Car C.
A bit "Chinese fire-drillish"
at times, but it'll work if all we have are pairs of dissimilar walkie talkies. Whadaya think?

I am bringing my wify. Might need a designated driver.... 
Most of the wineries might waive the fee if you go in large groups. Might be a good idea to check out the coupon books at the hotel before we visit the wineries...

GoRovers, I added you to the list as tentative. You should definitely come and bring your GF. Other members will be bringing their significant others as well.
my545jjes, I have SLORider helping to coordinate with the wineries for our big group.
ALL, if I may ask, can you guys post questions or suggestions on the meet itself on the other thread so others can see? That way, others can have the opportunity to chime in and together, we'll work on making this an awesome meet.
Thanks ya'll!
