    US West North Bay meet-up - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendo

    It was definitely a fun trail. Gotta hit it from south to north. Would definitely be into running it again.

    Cast Iron Pan Storage Solutions

    I have one that I use to store my 10" dutch oven. They have a little padding around the sides to keep it from knocking about, and a little pocket under the lid. It's pretty well made and does the job just fine. It's held up after about a year of use. I got my from Sportsman's Warehouse.

    National Park Tour (Video Edit of the Summer Trip added)

    I would also say the same thing about Yosemite. It's essentially a small city in the valley. I encourage folks to instead visit Sequoia or Kings Canyon if your that close. I went to Yosemite last summer when they were limiting visitors and it was one of the best times I had been there in a long...

    National Park Tour (Video Edit of the Summer Trip added)

    A couple of suggestions to check out or consider. You might want to check out Usal Beach as a dispersed camping spot if you're coming down the 1 along northern California. Usal Rd is right off the 1. Just don't camp directly on the beach, but you can get pretty darn close. It's a dirt road in...

    US West North Bay meet-up/trip - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendo

    Also thanks for indulging me and doing a bit of “epic” exploring. About a 60 mile loop with a fair amount of ruts, water bars, +25* pitches going up, and going down, and of course water crossings.

    Who's planning on going up Friday? for both nights? One night? Coming up Saturday? Anyone just coming up for a "day trip"?

    I have a Baofeng handheld but don’t really know how to use it. Reading up on getting my Ham though.

    Kent did mention that he is doing one in september, but I don't have the details yet. I’m sure we could get one done for us up here.

    Yes, I’m interested in that too. I feel like I know how in theory, but I’d rather practice on a tire other then my own at first.

    US West North Bay meet-up - Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendo

    Thanks everyone for coming out. Our next “meet-up” will be trip next month. Stayed tuned for details. That said one weekend I was considering happens to fall on Father’s Day. I’m guessing that would tough for most? Let me know and I’ll pick a different weekend. Maybe the one before that.

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    I think this is my new favorite. It’s different but in a good way. It’s got the sweetness of bourbon, but the spiciness of a straight rye. Like the best of both worlds. And at $35 a bottle, a good value for sure.

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    I found they carry their offerings at BevMo. I picked up a bottle of their Lost Monarch, which is a blend of Rye and Bourbon. Sounded interesting and got good reviews. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe tonight.

    I live where this is bottled and had never heard of it. Will definitely look for it. Another local distillery, Spirit Works Distillery, makes a pretty good bourbon that I’ve been sipping lately.
