Looking forward to taking a long weekend out to the west Texas mountains!

Learned some things in Death Valley - lighting - must have better lighting. Running dirt roads in a group is great fun but the DUST! Plan to add front light bar, side lights and chase lights. Since I’m using a Garmin Overland, I’ll sync everything with Garmin’s Power Switch

Just got back from Death Valley. If you haven’t been, you are seriously missing out on an amazing place!

Anyone want to do the NMBDR in May? Check out the trip on Rally Points!

Leander here

I think 8-14 are actually FRS and not GMRS channels. FRS has much lower power output options I believe (max of 0.5 watts?). This would be useful when working a trail and a spotter has a bubble pack FRS radio.

Great! Yes, there is a Rally Point listed here. For now, I’ve been checking interest to see if anyone wants to do this.

Looking forward to Death Valley trip in Feb!

Checking interest again to see if anyone wants to do the NM BDR this coming May? I’d like to run the route from S to N and expect the trip to take about 7 days, camping along the way. Anyone??

Sounds good, for now still seeing how much interest there is. If you have questions, drop a note. Looking at mid May for now and about a week to do the route itself.

Great - thanks for the feedback. I wasn’t sure how many days to allocate but it sounds like a week should be fine for the BDR portion.
