Heading down Friday night to claim camp. Saturday we will take a 4x4 trip up to Kavanaugh Ridge. Elevation at Kavanaugh Ridge is 11,000 ft and you can see 5-6 lakes spread throughout the valley. The ridge is a rock cliff with a pretty close to straight drop off. This area is known for its abundance of aspen trees spread throughout the mountains. Generally the leaves are changing colors around this time and create some great opportunities for photos.

Vehicle requirements for the Kavanaugh Ridge trail: Aggressive tires, Clearance, 4x4.
A stock Wrangler can do it, a stock Subaru can not. :)

Anyone else from the Rocklin area attending?
Any tips as to how to communicate via HAM if I don’t yet have my HAM license for this trip? Have radio, just no license

When using less powerful handhelds, your reach isn’t going to be as far. Using the 146.460 frequency when we are in close range to each other isn’t going to cause any issues.
 
Just curious, for night #2 , is the plan to be back at Green Creek c.g.? Or on the ridge? Don’t make no-never mind..just wondering. Might bring my Fly gear- better to have and not need, yea?

We will be back at camp same location for both nights. I'll be leaving my trailer at camp.

As for fishing, I hear there are some fish in the lakes and streams, so worth a try for sure.

You just got caught LOL! I suggest you get the license, its a big step on communications and you will also avoid potential HAM operators calling asking for your call sign.
