Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

No problem. I just thought I'd check.
I only have a cheap handheld CB and the last few times I've been out with people, they all seem to use GMRS so I had no communication with the group. It was kind of a bummer but certainly wasn't a big deal. I've been looking into getting a GMRS radio soon... more money I shouldn't spend though!

Is this a hard trail or an easy one. I am brand new to this overlanding thing and can you tell me what to bring

Trail is non technical primarily a dirt road. Mainly bring basics for camping for the overnight.

th/ks for the info. Do you have any idea where we will be camping. I see that you are Navy. Are you still active or retired. I am a retired HM rom 1989 and then became a state cop

I’m still an FC still active. We’ll probably be taking a dispersed site somewhere midway through the trail based on how many folks show up.

sounds good

GMRS is a good comm to use for these adventures, Ham is a little more complicated.
GMRS handhelds can be bought on Amazon for under $70.
You should have a license ($35.00 for ten years I believe) but.... who is going to track.
Oftentimes there is always someone that has an extra radio or two.

Thanks for the info! I just bought a GMRS radio and the license. Unfortunately the radio I bought is back ordered so I may not have it for this trip. FYI, the GMRS license is still $70... hasn't been reduced to $35 yet.
Traveler II
Thought maybe it had finally been reduced, guess not!
Paid $70. for mine also.

Interested in going as well. We are out of Riverside.

˜Now I fully understand why people boondock and overland. I just took my brother in law to Joshua Tree National Park camping and to take picture of the sky at night. We had a younger group of kids camping near us that would talk and laugh until 1 in the morning and walk through our camp site. I am done with this kind of camping. Get me away from the crowds and back where I can enjoy the beauty of nature without stupid people lol
