Good suggestion, I have a scanner for traveling on active forestry and logging roads, and it sure works well....some private roads will allow users if they have a radio, scanner, or wait and follow a radio controlled vehicle in. For the trip I'm contemplating though, there's not likely to be any activity on any of the roads except main highways.
