Inland NW: Meet Eat Greet and Sleep (Pend Oreille County Park) - 06/02/2018

I'll be there with bells on. Not sure what rig yet, I can be there any time if you need help setting up, Steve.
It looks like 5 hrs going into WA and 6 going up 95 towards CdA and North, anyone know of a reason to not go through Spokane, e.g. construction?

 

[Sandpoint Steve]

Yep, shouldn't be a problem when the white stuff is gone.

Darrin, thoughts on a new radio?

@britz - Avoid Monroe street, it’s tore up. Division street is also about to get torn into as well. My recommendation is to take Maple street north.

Steve- I decided on the GT3-WP. I bought 2 of them. I really wanted the waterproofing since I do a lot of fishing and kayaking. Should be here before the trip. I also splurged and bought x-bulls and a compressor setup.

"With Bells on"... Now this I have to see... lol

Not sure, if we'll be able to hit the WA repeaters from the camp. 147.200, + offset , 136.5 Tone
I'll have that dialed up as well as 146.460

Go and RSVP on the rally point page.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone for a campfire style meet and greet.

Darrin,
Did you get a programing cable? that looks like it's different than mine. You will need one.
Let me know when you arrive and we can get together and do some radio programing.

I thought I RSVPd a ways back, it keeps throwing me in a vicious circle; says I'm good to go, but I don't see my thumbnail show up in the cool kids group. Ill try again tomorrow. I'll be the Cousin Eddie rolling in, I guess.

Thanks for the heads up on the alt ham channel, I'll program it in on the radios.

Per our 5/20 telecon, I'll be able to bring my little stereo cooler/solar generator with small PV panel instead of pics as we discussed. It's lived on my ATV for close to three years, so it's not pretty, but has taken several flying rolls into the woods and still cranking. I'm certainly no expert on solar, but obviously a heavy end user being offgrid and hopefully give people some ideas on integrating solar into their kits and calculating load demands. If I can build something, anyone can.

 

[Sandpoint Steve]

Thanks Britz

 

[britz]

is anyone bringing their dog? I have a very friendly 4 yr old fat yellow lab who just lost his girl two weeks ago and could use some k9 interaction. I can just the same leave him with the rest of the crew here at the cabin to help reduce codependency on me.

I'm probably not seeing this right, but does anyone have a rally point for this weekend that isn't in the middle of the US. I'm heading out sat, morning but other then the camp ground is in Idaho, not clear as to where it is. Anybody have a grid or GPS location or the name of the campground so I can Google Earth?

Pend orielle county Park. Between Newport and Spokane on highway 2. We were trying to fix the Kansas thing and now it's moved the pin on that resource map.

Thanks, heading out early want to drive over Chewellah peak.

Fun fun fun...

I’m here and set up camp space 10b. 10a is open too. It’s large and plenty of space for others to setup here too.

Is there anyone else camping? Or are you the only one there?

 

[Captain Chaos]

We’re leaving pretty soon. We have to stop for a few things. Should I grab firewood?

 

[RyuKyuRvr]

On my way to camp, just got as far south as Colville, still nearly 2 hours away!

I’m the only one here at the moment. I brought a box of wood, but it might be good to have some more.

 

[britz]

Checking in, rolled into the cabin a few minutes ago. Hugs and kisses, lol.
