Default best setup for vehicle to base communication seperated by 100 to500 miles?

Hey OM:

From one of my fav sources wiki pedia:
"Carrier pigeons historically carried messages only one way, to their
home."

So if you're mobile you can forget two way communication.
The pigeon sent from your base would never find you in your mobile.

im an EE, but have never gotten into ham radio. Now, I have a reason!
Im going off roading in the california desert, and I'd like to be able
to communicate back home in San Diego. What band and equipment would
be the best (for both base and mobile) in order to communicate
reliably during the day? Or is this unreasonable?
