last year’s 2018-4th Annual SAN G. TRAIL RUNS & TW Family Reunion 9/21-23

I just reserved site 043. It is a handicap accessible site but I was able to reserve it because it was the last available.
Looking forward to my first TW meet!

 

Back to Camping stuff.

Guys that are going on trails!
Now is the time to purchases a ham. this is an inexpensive comm that will work for the trails.

You will have a great time. Lots of good folks in the group.

 

I'll add you to the list.

 

I've upgraded to King OEM performance shocks, Method wheels with 265 75 16 Cooper Discoverer Pro STTs and removed all flaps.
If there aren't any open spots on the trail rides I can find something mellow to explore...

 

Also check out CHIRP for uploading common channels.

Here's a good starter list of common channels

 

lmfao

 

The description is all another languages jibberish, to me. Will this reach you guys from Vegas?

...cuz if so, I’ll buy it!

 

@WileECoyote could answer that

 

You can do what is called "EchoLink", but I've never done/tried that before. Plus, you would need a HAM license anyways to do either or anyways!!!

Technicallllllly, CB can do what is called "skip" as well. But that all depends on atmospheric conditions and what not, typically during the evening hours. For example, on "Field Day" HB RACES allowed me to contact someone that lived in "New Mexico" if I remember correctly?! It was on 20m I believe and I was pretty stoked that it was all done just bouncing off of the atmosphere!!!

 

In plane english no, you can't. Someone with a license and access to repeaters can communicate if the they are both on the same repeaters at the same time. But that's in plane English.

 

@itaro Does this count?

 

HAHAHA, what Oscar said... I missed "gibberish" part!!!

Btw, it's "gibberish" and "plain English".

 

So looking like the other runs are topped up... other than John Bull.. which is currently above my pay grade without lockers and bumpers.

* edit

Thinking Gold Mtn. ?

4 times 4 would be needed

 

The runs are just organized on this thread. If you want to do another run, chat it up do the research, get advice, get maps make friends with members and take the lead.

 

10 4.... I'll be putting something together. I've ran Gold Mtn a few times prior, so no advice or research needed....Will make a GPX file of said run. Was just trying to see if there was any interest...

 

I'm in. Just ran it a few weeks back. For me, (TRDOR, 285s, high clearance rear and a little lift) I only tagged my skid once and a bit of a tap on the slider once, but i wasn't getting out or stacking or anything. Locker wasn't really necessary I don't think. I'd say it should be good for your average rig on 285s, sliders a decent idea. Probably run it down the harder stuff. I'd say max of like 5-6 rigs to keep from turning into a parking lot.

 

That's great! PM me when you have more details. Then I can add it to the "Run List" and other members can contact you to be added to the list.

This is why this camping trip is so special. Members helping members get better.

 

I'd be interested in joining the Gold Mountain run
