What kinda licensing did he have to get for those? I don't want the FCC crackin down on us, although I think if it did all fingers would somehow get pointed at the fearless leader/organizer of this trip.

Thanks John, That picture is proof that once something is on the interweb, it can never be gone

It's great that we have so many Hams in the non-club. Makes things easier, safer, more fun and chicks dig it. A doff of the cap to the nerd in all of us.

Check it...

Bradshaw Trail - Feb 28th-Mar 1st **Completed**

For those heading out early...

I'll be arriving at the Cottonwood Campsite sometime around 11ish (leaving San Clemente around 9)

It's first come, first serve, so I am going to do a little scouting to see if there is a clump of sites together for those camping the night before....

How many of you plan on doing that? Anyone familiar with the campsite? Any good multiple plot sites?

I have the day off on Friday and can get there early.

The last time I stayed there, we camped at the top left corner of the campsite.
The topography of the campsite is such that the only thing really separating you from your neighbor are desert bushes..

A head count would be a good idea to determine if we need to bogart many sites. They are big enough to hold three to four tents a piece,the limiting factor being two cars per site (from what I remember)

We will be there prolly around 3-4pm.

Worst case scenario...lots of BLM land with fire rings just off of the Red Canyon Trail.

Looks like maybe 4 sites should be adequate for Friday Steve...maybe you and Christiaan (early arrivers, thanks) could stagger/scatter some camp gear between sites until others (myself/Daphne, Jordan, Xterra Alex) arrive?

Anyone else considering a Friday arrival?

Anyone coming from San Diego or North County -- which drive are you taking to the trailhead? I've gotten out there every way imaginable, just curious!

From San Diego we will be taking the 215/60/10 route. You can cut over and route the 79/371/74/10 route, but catching traffic through the twisties is always the risk there...plus catching traffic through the Palm Desert area.

FYI...for those of you that have Costco membership, a great fill up spot pre-desert for gas cans is just off of Monterey Ave/I-10 in Palm Desert.

Another good spot for cheap gas in the Love's Truck stop on Dillon Rd. It's the start of the incline to Chiriaco Summit. That's where I usually fill up on my way to Blythe.

I'm not on the list John. I'll be a day tripper.
