Planning on setting up a node and trying to get some clubs in the area to do the same. Not sure how successful I'll be but hoping there's more than 2 people in Erie County interested in AREDN.

I have always been interested in setting up a node as well. Just doesnt seem to be enough interest.
I don't believe I have a active node in my county either. Might be time to start a new trend...
You two are 13 miles apart. Given the topography of that area you're probably not line of sight. But if you found a water tower or tall building someplace in between to put a relay node you might be able to make it work. Barring that, you could always set up a tunnel in between. It's the "AREDN Starter Kit" :-D
What equipment do you recommend?
I wrote up a Beginners' Guide that has some recommendations. Take a look at it: http://orvsplace.net/aredn_stuff/AREDN_Beginners_Guide-v21.pdf.
If you have specific questions drop me a note: orv.beach@gmail.com

Our longest link of 13.5 miles is a pair of Mikrotik LHG-HP5-XLs .
60-80 TxMbps Summer
80-100 TxMbps Winter.
Currently the Mikrotik RBLHGG-5acD-XL would be similar.
