ndamico Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 So for those who might care. I couldn't sleep last night ao i found several repeaters that will work at shaver. I talked to a two people in the fresno and madera ham clubs. I haven been able to get on any od theelm direct from sac yet but 1 is on echolink and another is on allstar link. There is another that is part of winsystem too so we should be able to talk to just about anyone via ham. Also club members should be able to reach us there. And most importantly i can call. Andrea and brooklyn If anyone wants details i can provide them. I would suggest signing up for allstar link. Its similar to echolink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvRovr Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 So, do I understand correctly that using an Echolink repeater, I could talk to someone at home on their computer with no other equipment on their end? If so I'll want to get Brittany signed up for that right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstar is similar to echolink. You need a ham license to use it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco2Guy Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Last year the trail was confusing and i had to haul ass to not get left behind, which could be made simple with a gpx file.. anyone have a gpx file of the route we will take? Sent from my SM-T807V using Tapatalk Here you go Nick. Added the gpx file to the Library section. It contains tracks from Camp Edison to the Bald Mountain loop(s). For the snow run, should you make it to the trailhead, take the first hard left on Bald Mountain Trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFreeman Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 To be honest this would be solved if we all remember to follow trail etiquette and wait for the next person in line when at a junction. It's all too easy to be wrapped up in the moment and keep rolling but it really helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutz Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 We will have a drivers meeting before we head to trail. Also dont forget about firewood more the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndamico Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 So what does everyone think about grouping rigs in order of capabilities for the trail run? Smaller groups if it's hard may allow further progress down trail. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-T807V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Usually the trucks are mixed between capabilities. Mainly winch, no winch is the typical order. If you put all of the most capable rigs together, then the more stock vehicles are left to fend for themselves in the back and not as much progress (and fun) is made. The best call is to have multiple groups and stagger the start time. An hour difference is ideal, but if you're trying to get it down to 5-6 rigs per group you run out of time. A 30 minute difference is ok, but the groups wind up meeting on the trail fairly quickly. If the snow accumulation is good, you'll spend most of the time getting yourself or someone else unstuck. When the snow was good, I never pushed to make it to the end of Dinky Creek Rd. Plan for lots of shoveling and winching instead of making it to the top of Bald Mountain, or even the trailhead, and you'll be better prepared mentally. If you do make it onto the trail, then it's a bonus. On the rare occasion we made it to the trailhead we'd wait for the rest of the group and make that the turn around point. It's easy to get stuck there too. Once you're on the trail, you're kinda committed as there's no easy turn around point. AND on top of all that, the thought of sitting down inside a warm building to eat hot pizza starts to eat away at your brain. Well, at least for me it does. My best advice for being a happy camper at the end of the day is to carry a fresh, dry pair of socks to put on when you're airing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'll say I'm all for breaking the group up into at least 3 to help keep things moving. Just the usual chatting between people and 'are we ready to go' talk eats up half the time. Since we are expecting pretty deep snow (although these 70 degree days recently are a bit foreboding) I think I'd put a bigger rig as the lead on each group, and ideally the biggest would be the lead of the first group. That way they can help cut trail for the guys on smaller tires. They can also help pull guys like me - with all my armor and limited clearance I become a 3 ton sled pretty easily. I'm also a early riser, so I'm happy to head out in an early group. We should organize the groups so at least on military member is in each to keep everybody marching in order and on-task!(you think I'm kidding.... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's camping. If the sun's up, I'm up. Can't help myself. Although the Oztent does help somewhat since it's pretty opaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 LR3 with a plow? That's just wrong. LR3 AS a plow? Sure, what's new? Actually, it's more of a sled. Maybe a toboggan. Heavy and flat underneath without all that much clearance is a good recipe for compacting snow. Maybe I should just retract the wheels and get towed along behind somebody else like a winter hut.
