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...

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!

@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!

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... :smile:

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?

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... :)
