Similar to an earlier thread, we're heading to Death Valley later this month (first 4 days of spring break, 4/2~4/5), and I'm also wondering about suitable camping spots.
We will have one night of dispersed camping (got a Tepui RTT), and would like to be somewhere along the Hunter Mountain...
The Baofeng and rooftop antenna is a great setup - I had to meet up with a friend for a weekend of trail-running at Bald Mountain a few years ago, and was able to chat (and rendez-vous) with him via a local repeater when I was still more than 20 miles away (he'd already arrived and had no cell...
Hey ScorpioVI, I guess that we did meet each other on the trail to Prewitt, just in passing; yes, that was me. We'll meet again soon, I'm sure. Awesome photos, by the way.
So we have two proposed trips on Easter weekend (Mendo and Pismo)? Unfortunately I can't do those as I'm heading down to...

I live in Aptos, but because I don't drink, had no idea that there's a brewery there.
I'd like to suggest rotating monthly (or any other interval) meeting locations so that everyone in the Bay Area can participate (a car club that I belong to does this) ... e.g., North Bay, East Bay, Peninsula...
Nice! I'll check out your route. I obtained a nice map from the Forest Service when I was there, which should come in handy as well when planning.
May seems to be a good time to go, but I can't make the first weekend; the following three weekends look good for now.
