    US Northwest Northwest Overland Rally 2023

    Well, things lined up for me to be able to go so far. It looks like I will end up buying tickets at the gate, but I will look for the group, and perhaps do some handshaking. It has been 10 years since I have been able to make it to a rally, but with my current situation, it is going to be...

    US Northwest December Meet-Up: Winter Cascades Camping!

    Phew, sitting across the river, essentially, at Rasar State Park, this (Thanksgiving) weekend, if the camp out is going to be the same weather, bring the cold gear, and firewood, it's going to get chilly.

    US Northwest December Meet-Up: Winter Cascades Camping!

    I think the channel (CB5) is mentioned on the rally point page. It also looks like 146.46 is the accepted ham 2 meter simplex frequency, found this in the bootcamp page. And for reference, the first post from that page. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?posts/244336

    US Northwest December Meet-Up: Winter Cascades Camping!

    Yes, all of the above, and CB. Half looking for an easy summit for a possible SOTA activation, not an absolute, but I am thinking about it.

    US Northwest December Meet-Up: Winter Cascades Camping!

    It will be a late charge again for me. I get off of a 12 hour night shift at 0730 that morning. 1 night, 2 nights, either works for me, wont have to go back to work until the Friday after.

    Great to finally connect with some of you. Some of the sunset from that night, on the overlook.

    Cancelled NW Washington Reoccurring Meet-Up

    Would be cool to meet some of you. The combo of working night shift the night before, and the traffic for me to drive north from Everett at that hour, I'm not making any firm plans, but will see how i feel.

    What is your must cook meal or must have food for camping.

    At least once per trip? Well at least once per trip, I make a breakfast of french toast, made with cinnamon swirl bread, with all of the fixings. Also at least one dinner per trip is made up of a decent cut of grilled beef, which ever looks the best at the time, served with grilled Asparagus...

    Telescoping antenna

    I use harbor freight flag poles. The pipe that comes with them, and some exhaust clamps/u-bolts, made some fairly handy mounts, that allow the poles to be removed and stored. Sent from the device I am using, from the spot I am at.

    Flags when your camping

    While I currently, at the time of posting, don't have a Base Camp flag, I do run dual Harbor Freight flag poles, usually one for flags, and one for antennas.
