Hey everyone I know its short notice but since I cant make it on the 19th for the trip me and @Dseck63 will be going up to usal this weekend. We plan the leave the SF area around 6 or 7pm on friday and drive up to usal. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Quick question, how long will be at usal beach? Wondering if I have time to get some lines wet.

We “should” arrive about 2-3pm Friday and then we will head out about 8:30am the next morning.

I'll bring a rod BCMoto. Let's see what lives in the surf...

Last time out throwing swim bait I got a few taps on it but this weekend I will throw some crab snares

Hey all. It looks like I’m not going to be able to get that Friday off now so my “spot” on the waiting list is open FWIW.
I’ll download the map file and do this another weekend but with out you fine folks for company.
Have fun and drive safe.

Is ANYONE excited for this trip? 2 weeks from today we will be cooking up dinner and sitting around a bonfire together at Usal Beach! Given its February be sure to bring warm clothes, sleeping arrangements, and if rain is in the forecast plan accordingly.

Be sure to give your rig a thorough check over for the trip, I just went through my camp lighting set up to make sure all was good. This is a pretty easy off road trip but we definitely have some highway miles to go.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Dave

Super stoked for the trip! Going to be visiting the gear from my last trip and paring down. Looking forward to trying out the Jackery 500 and Iceco fridge and wiping up some tasty beach treats. Been watching them youtube videos too.

@Dseck63 and myself just came back from Usal yesterday the roads in and out are ok some small ruts but nothing big. The only thing to let you guys know is that at about 11pm till morning the wind was blowing pretty hard so be ready to tie your ground tent down! I would say wind gust to 60mph but daytime was so nice!

 

[PapaDave]

Thank

Thank you for the update! Yeah I’ve had it be both ways with the wind, great reminder! Glad you guys had fun!

Ha! I was just thinking of heading up there this weekend anyway. Just trying to make it work at work. This now "commits" me to making it work.

US West - The Lost Coast of CA Feb 19-21st 2021*

The Lost Coast Of CA- Feb 19-21st, 2021* The Lost Coast of California is a gorgeous part of our coast up north. It’s a long stretch of miles where I5 heads up the middle of the state, where Hwy 1 joins 101 veering inland, and a rugged portion of the coast is left pristine and untouched. Hikers...

What Freq will you guys be on ?
My son and I will be passing down this track around the same days going North to South and it would be fun to listen to chatter or say hey if we are near by.
If you see red Transit 4x4 poptop with a bunch of sticker on the side give a shout ! I usually run 146.460 and listen

Hi guys! Super excited to meet you all and have fun on this trip. I am new to HAM and I am not licensed yet, but I am getting a radio for this anyway which is arriving on Tuesday. So, I’ll be a radio newbie...

For those of you local to the meet up area, can you recommend a camping location nearby? I am coming from San Diego so I would like to go the previous day.

Where are you wanting to camp near? Pleasanton California where we takeoff Friday morning from?

 

[Leirbag]

Yes, that’s right. Since we start at 8:30 I don’t want to be too far away so as to avoid waking up at a ridiculous early time... :)
