I don't have any paper maps for hiking, but I also wanted to go over some DOQ's to look for potential routes. How long should we make these hikes? Well, maybe I'll leave that to Chris after the KOFA training experience.... :Wow1:
We'll bring our hiking sticks, they make downhill and hiking on uneven terrain much easier. Even short hikes in the desert are serious business: Make sure everyone brings what they need on the hikes (water, comfortable boots, sun protection (hat, long sleeve shirt/pants), water, radio, mirror, whistle, energy bars, band aid, compass & GPS). What else? If you have any special medical conditions/allergies let the group know. I bring this up because I got stung in my foot by a bee last weekend out in the Mojave and we were probably 4h from any medical help.
As for getting there. I saw all those little roads, but I think you guys come as a group and we should have no problem picking up Chris on the 2m.
