2nd Annual Red Canyon Trail Run

@bigbarlo and @sdsurfer

If MaryAnn doesn't go, I could be swayed as well in order to photograph the trestle at night with some light painting.

 

That sounds like a good time

 

can you recommend any good handheld HAM?

Im going to try and get one if it can get here on time.

 

If you don't end up getting one prior to the trip, I have a couple of extras so you can borrow one if you need. Just remind me at the trail head.

 

Sweet
Appreciate that

Ill be coming from compton if anyone wants to meet up i was thinking about leave my house around 6am i really want to camp to get an other day too mess around
I just dont have no recovery gear

 

I’m coming from west LA, I’m down to meet up and head over.

I’ll also be camping

 

Think I work that weekend

 

I moved you to the committed list.

 

YOOOOOOOOO! I'm down for a day trip....around what time would the group be done with the trail?

 

We expect to arrive at the abandoned trestle around 1:30-2:00pm. Spend as much time there as you want, but most folks will be heading out 4:30-5:00pm "ish" to try and get onto pavement before it starts getting too dark. It should take use about 30-45 minutes to get from the trestle to pavement. I'll add you to the committed list.

 

Bear in mind that the time change will happen prior to this trip so it will get dark around 5:00-5:30.

 

Good point. I forgot about that.

 

Thanks, just ordered a handheld. Now to get a license...

I ordered this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/202429357103

A few bucks cheaper than Amazon and arrives by 11/4.

 

I might be interested if we go on the 9th, cant this weekend.

Keep in mind 151.880 is not a Ham band, Its an open use business band that requires no licensing. Max 2w output(Ive transmitted 5w no problem).

you can transmit on these frequencies with no license.
151.820 MHz
151.880 MHz
151.940 MHz
154.570 MHz
154.600 MHz

 

Count me in! Do you guys think a slightly lifted Forester could make it? A buddy of mine is interested in tagging along.

We would be camping as well.

 

I'm not sure about the Forester. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

 

Good to know. We can always change at Patton Museum before heading to the trail head. And we're definitely going on the 9th.

 

Confirming I’m still in for Saturday, but I unfortunately won’t be able to camp overnight. Looking forward to hitting this trail.
