In Idaho, a CB is a must for backroad travel. WHY? logging trucks! on
roads if there is a sign that says "caution, logging truck" there will
then be sheet of plywood with a number. that is the cb channel. then on
the roads there will be mile-markers. 1 mile, two mile, etc. When you
get to those markers you hop on your cb and say your position "car at
mile 3" etc. If you don't you may get ran over by a logging truck.
Literally. They typicially can't stop very well on those roads when
carrying a full load.
