You can meet all kinds of nice folks on a CB when traveling!

Your CB radio doesn’t have to be used only for your annual fishing trip like some folks use them for!  This year I suspect a lot of folks will (because of the high gas prices) stay close to home and take some shorter trips to discover their “own back yard” so to speak.  The good part about that is that you won’t use so much gas and you stand a chance of running into friends and acquaintances while on your trip.  A CB Radio comes in real handy when traveling locally OR half way across the country.  You can keep abreast of changing road conditions by monitoring truckers who may be ahead of you and you can certainly find great restaurants that way!  Sometimes it’s just fun to send out a general invitation for someone to talk to.  My mother used to say that a stranger is just a friend she hadn’t met yet – and while she was alive, she really did live by that theory.  It sure worked for her – she had more friends than I could believe.  A hand held CB Radio would be a great addition to your vacation vehicle as it doesn’t have to be “installed” per say and you can use it on the boat or wherever you need to.  Enjoy!!  Happy Boater.
