You can check out www.repeaterbook.com or www.artscipub.com/repeaters to get listings for any area in the country. I think repeaterbook allows you to search within a certain radius of a zip code as well. It looks like there are quite a few 2m machines within 25 miles of there. How many are in range for your HT I can't say.

thanks for the info. It looks like there are no repeaters in the county Fannin or in the Zipcode 305451. Doesn't look like there will be any operating happening on this trip.

If you have a smartphone you can download the RepeaterBook app, and it will grab your GPS location and find the nearest repeater. Pretty handy when you're on the road.
"Doesn't look like there will be any operating happening on this trip." That's why you need HF! There are never any dead spots!  Edited to add: Using the 25 mile Proximity search I found some that may or may not work for you: |

I use one of the N9TAX roll up Slim Jims on my HT, in my AO it doubles the number of repeaters I can access. If you are handy you can build it yourself.
Can't get the link to work but here is the url: http://www.2wayelectronix.com/Dual-band-2m-70cm-Slim-Jim-Antenna-with-16-rg-58-dual-slim-16.htm |

Get yourself a Wrist Rocket, a few 10 oz fishing weights, a reel of 30lb test fishing line, and maybe a spool of construction line. This will let you hang your antenna in a tree pretty easily. |
