===============================

My recommendation: CAR POOL!
With GAS at $4 per gallon and most cars getting 20MPG, it costs about 20 
cents per mile of travel. A trip from St Paul to Duluth is about 250 
miles round-trip, or $50 for gas. That makes attending the hamfest very 
expensive unless you CAR POOL and share the expenses. Four people in a 
car would be about $12 each for gas, or under $10 each for 6 people in a 
mini-van. Support our hobby and ham radio clubs! CAR POOL to area 
hamfests. Talk it up on the local repeaters and at club meetings. Pool 
your gas money and make new friends during the trip!
