This is a great thread.

Our (my wife and I) have a plan that comprises a few different levels using text messaging/email if the phones are out, CB and ham radio, and GMRS radios. We have several places to meet within 30 miles of home...state parks to our south, east, and west. Lake Erie is just north. Does anyone else think that a state park may be a good place to meet? Anyone think it's a bad idea?

We also have friends' houses in other states we'd meet at if the situation warranted, and those friends are also our out-of-state contacts.
