How was it? Enough rain to get the trails muddy?

Yeah, I have a few of the Baofengs as well. They’re phenomenal radios for what they are. Unfortunately the “new” ones don’t transmit on HAM channels, only GMRS/FRS. I say “new” because the UV-5R I bought in 2018 accesses the 2m and 70cm bands, but the exact same radio I bought this year has...

I really like the security of being able to hit a repeater in the back country. Granted, not the same coverage as a SPOT or InReach. Plus, the technical side of things is sort of fun too.

Pretty sure there are two. There's one near Stormy Peak, which starts near the CSU Mountain Campus. This hike should still be open, and accessible. Maybe even without snow shoes. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/b-17f-bomber-crash-site-pingree-park--2 The second, which you're...

Looks like FR152 is still closed. USFS doesn't post an opening date, but probably mid June. :( The only spot you could have trouble is a pretty steep part of the track maybe 3/4 of the way through. Not technical, just steep. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/arp/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5300963

How many of you guys have HAM licenses? I'm looking to get a mobile radio for my truck (and an HT or two to supplement, and ditch the UV-5R I currently have), but want to get something that's consistent with everyone else, especially if most people are using digital. APRS.fi has mostly Yaesu...

KE0UMC Had my license for two years, but just made my first contact today(outside of wheeling/traveling with friends).

Went out to Pingree Park today to get out of the house, make lunch outside, and do some recon from the fire. Quite a bit of burn area, but there are also some huge swaths of land that didn’t get burned. We didn’t take the road to the Sky Ranch Lutheran camp, but the SNOTEL at Hourglass says...

Hey Mike, I’m also pretty excited for the 6th gen. A bit apprehensive that Toyota will get rid of the body of frame, and we’ll get a high clearance Highlander. At that point we just have a new Defender, so I guess there could be worse things. Did you see the new Outback “Wilderness Edition”...

Hey everyone, My name is Connor. I currently live in Fort Collins, but my fiancé will likely drag me down to Denver later this year for her new job. I’ve lived here since 2014, after living in Colorado Springs for a few years before that. I had an Outback that I used to access hiking in the...
