Cancelled Flagpole Knob/ PMR/ MABDR 3

[Dusther210]

It's all moot in my case as I've been vaccinated, but gotta keep the Stasi happy. I'm more worried about freezing my nuts off in an April snow storm or something.

NJRadioGuy you’re alright

Mid-week is a little bit difficult for me. Mind recording track and waypoint of campsites? I'll run it on a weekend.

 

[Dusther210]

I plan to do a little write up afterwards with pictures and a GPX file. It might take me a while to get it posted up here but the rally point should have the 4 GPX files of MABDR3, FPK up/down and PMR

I'm interested and will be following this thread. Won't commit until it's closer to the time, though.
There are some nice spots along Union Springs and closer to Flagpole.

 

[Dusther210]

Just to confirm, it looks like everyone signed up so far does not have a ham license. Should I assume we will all be using GMRS so I can simplify the comms portion of this?
Also I am just wondering which sections of this trip do you plan to join, is everyone just doing Flagpole Knob? Anyone joining for MABDR?

 

[Boucher]

It may be easier to accomplish this closer to the weekend I know it's hard for me to get off midweek just my .02

 

[Dusther210]

I can only do midweek trips. I understand normal people usually have weekends free lol. This rally point is more of an invitation to join my personal trip

Dusther, are you driving from NJ to Sweitzer Thursday morning, or camping Wed night in the area?
Where are you planning on picking up the MABDR? Will you be running it north or south? From what I've seen of the map of MABDR, the route passes west of Flagpole on Rt 33. Doing Peters Mill afterwards seems like backtracking would be involved to get to the MABDR?
Any idea of area you plan on camping Thurs night?

The more this trip stews in my head the more I want to go. lol The nice 60* days this week have really made me want to get out there!

We plan to leave NJ around 11pm on Tuesday night. Find a site and get rest near Switzer Lake Wednesday morning, then camp Wednesday night along PMR and there is another site we plan to sleep at Thursday night. After a late wake up on Friday morning we will drive straight back to NJ. We will most likely be stopping at the Tim Hortons in Raritan NJ on the way down and on the way back up.

 

[John Bishop]

Well, I'm out for this one.
Some other things have come up for that timeframe that require priority.

Marked as going but depending on the new baby coming this week may have to back out.

No worries, congratulations

I’m interested in joining the 2nd day for the MABDR (not interested in Flagpole).

Cool! You are def welcome to join! Just wondering if you run VHF or GMRS in your vehicle.

 

[Dusther210]

Les than a month to go. I’m a bit excited, just wanted to share. Probably just me lol

 

[Dusther210]

Sadly I have to cancel this trip. If anyone needs info or gpx files to do it themselves I can send them, just message me.

 

[sappy96]

Sorry to hear.

Hi all, is this trip a wash now? I was looking to run flagpole, and I couldn’t find people to want to go.

This trip was schedule for early April but had to be canceled.
However there was a lot of interest in Flagpole and I’m sure you can rally a few people to make something happen

 

[Offroadtb]

Ahhh gotcha. Well I will keep up with this and try to tag along when you guys may go.
