Thanks SWR and Rally Roo for the comments. I'll use it as inspiration for a new avatar. I love the pix so far. I post up a few more of my own. Looking down the steep grade. Notice the narrow track below for judging distance.

Santa Rosa Spring group shot Expo White :ylsmoke:

More Bailey's Cabin/ Toro Peak pix I bagged this geocache walking up the hill while the group waited for the narrow Turkey grade to clear. I remembered the location from google earth and was able to locate it without a GPS! SWR provided a ride up to the top because Justin had already passed.

Posting up photos :wings:Thanks go out to Mark for putting together this great little trip.:smiley_drive: Airing down for the short trip to Bailey's Cabin.

I'm joining the trip as a ride-along with my brother, Gear. The upper part of Coyote Canyon is new for me and I'm excited about the Turkey Grade switchbacks to get down to valley floor where the Cabin is. I read about Turkey Grade on Dirtopia, where I also found a .kmz file for the trail on...

Hi Jerry, I opened a geocaching account under the name Must Be Santa on Geocaching.com. I've been trying to communicate with other members on their forum but haven't heard back yet. Do you have an account? If so could you send me a message. I hope all is well, thanks Miles

The next morning I took a sun-rise hike up the trail. Justin removed all traces of the fire ring in the photo. Kofa was a simply amazing place. I would love to go back with more time to explore. I read up on Kofa after getting home and was surprised that it's about 40 miles by 25 miles in...

What an evening! We had tequila, music, peasant pancakes and a slide show all surrounded by beautiful scenery and a warm breeze. Chris was able to log on and start this thread; I guess we weren't as remote as it felt. Cool. And some others managed to go for a night hike up through a slot canyon.

First day of the overland route home. Photo post-up.

Cool Thread. Jerry gets some points for helping tow a broken down rig. I don't think the Tread Lightly handbook covers how to wake your sleeping neighboors so they can clear the road. (How many people would have just driven around?) Great job. I also dig the ham radio part. I'd like to try...

Thanks to Justin for taking Miles and me (Peggy) out to the desert yesterday for the Expo trip. I enjoyed meeting people in the group that Miles is always talking about. Thanks to Jerry also for taking us out to dinner last night. Highlights were the amazing array of desert flowers (best I've...

I'll be there. +1 Looking forward to seeing everyone and checking out the wildflowers. My maps are packed and I'm going to bed. Alarm set for 4:30.

The Clipperton Island DXpedition that was mentioned during the PARC meeting announcements should be going strong tomorrow. (Sun 3/9/08) 110 degree heat had delayed the set up on the remote atol. Check it out some of the history of their adventure at...

Wow. Looks like a pretty drive and a great hike, too. Thanks for the pics/post.

It was great to be part of this amazing trip. I've got a new appreciation for Overlanding and Death Valley. Thanks go to the trip leader and man with the margaritas, Trevor. Here's some pix. I only took a few: -Double Chaser -My chance to ride in Rob's Unimog was first rate.:wings: That's my...

Justin couldn't wait to borrow the ExPo copy of the ARRL guide and bought his his own to study with. We were going to take the test together but time got short. Someone else got KI6MHY. :shakin:

Offroadchef is next I don't know about the list either, but his book is ready to go. :gunt: I'll send it out soon in that extra envelope I got form the OJ- perfect fit.

I've passed the test for the Technician Level. :wings: Who wants the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual next?
