It's time to head up into the mountains.
Let's get together and see how high we can get before the snow gets too deep.
I have a few destinations in the GPX file if we don't make it to the top.
See more below.

This is a great radio.

1 x Baofeng UV-82 Walkie-talkie. 1 x 2800mAh Battery. Frequency Range: VHF 136~174MHz / UHF 400~520MHz. Dual bands, dual standby, and dual display. Radio function and built-in flashlight add more convenience.

You must get the programming cable.
Nice to have is the external microphone and a roof mount antenna and battery eliminator.

Don't really need the extra batteries (they last easily all day or 2)
Or the larger battery.

If you get one you will need to program it. I have helped multiple people get this programed. Super easy and makes the radio compatable with FRS, GMRS, and HAM.

Please call me before you buy.

I'm available most evenings to talk Overlanding or Radio stuff.

I so marked this as "going" until my wife reminded me we will be in Leavenworth that weekend. I am dying to hit some dirt trails. Thanks for putting this together. Hope to see you all the next one.

I'll look at the file. Try changing the file extension.

That worked! I almost tried that from the start but wasn't sure how to on my new tablet, and hadn't heard of a .bin file and everything I read said I'd need a third party app to use it. Which I want real fond of.

Jake and Scott made it up a couple peaks after we left them. :) for them, :( wish I could have gone too, maybe next time.
I'll try to pull gps tracks later to see what I ended up recording.
