Left Santa Clarita area bound for Lake Tahoe via 14, 395, 88 and Kingsbury Grade for a long weekend and had a great time. Stayed at S. Tahoe KOA and really enjoyed the wooded area and CG. Going there was somewhat of a challenge with towing up several grades north of Bishop and not to mention Kingsbury Grade but saw awsome sites along the way.
Couldn't raise too many on the 2m, but managed to talk to a couple of guys coming across Red Rock Canyon Park and was real pleased with the Yaesu FT-8800R unit and using the hood mounted NGP antenna on 152. Got out about 12-15 miles with 1 and I believe longer range on the other, according to my contact. Probably still change the antenna to roof mount when I get some time.
Next trip mid August is Santa Cruz, long weekend and then the big one to Seattle in mid September. Really looking forward to getting away.
Anyway, 73's to you guys and let's hear your trip logs!
