Snow and Burrito Run Sun. Jan. 31st, 2021 Yankee Hill

All I got from this is a personal note that I need to educate myself more on radio communication.

Perhaps not to foul up the thread, happy to discuss why and how in the radio subsection.

Suffice to say VHF FM channelization has been touched upon here:

Radio Channel Setup

In addition to the std 146.460 we use as a default channel, what are the other channels that we use on a regular basis especially for Moab? I am programming my mobile this weekend and want to get it all setup. Do we use any std channel naming convention like "RS01" for 146.460, etc?

I am interested in this run. No chains but winch and bag full of recovery gear if we need it. First snow winter run for me.

@JadeRunner

FYI, 146.420 is not a valid 2m simplex channel frequency in Colorado. You should go down to 146.415 or up to 146.430. If you use 146.420 you'll actually be on both of those channels.

Ok moving to the 146430.

Hope we can standardize on one for our club use. (In another thread) The sticker on my Runner still says 146460.

I'm a definite now. Rachel is also going to join us in her Taco. See you Sunday morning!

Hey guys, I was just up Yankee Hill Trail on Saturday. I came up via York Gulch to Pisgah Lake and stopped just before the Miners Gulch intersection. I gave a brief trail report to one of the other members, here is the link to that post: https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-rig-today.21646/post-359349

Newbie question. I'm interested in this event. Is it cool to bring kids / kid friendly? I've got a teen and a pre-teen that need to get outa the house and off their devices.

absolutely. and friendly dogs are always welcome also. I'm planning on my 15yo doing most of the driving...

 

[dehru]

Thanks nakman. It's good training and much safer before they have to face near-death experiences on I-70!

Please someone else bring a dog to smack mine around. He seems to have unlimited energy these days and could use a good beat down.

Hello all, Yes I am still alive.... Been hyper focused on my house for awhile but this is a great time to get the Yoda out for some fun beside Bunce school.

If I come I'll bring my 1.5 year old husky with the same goals in mind!

Please do. Mine is just a little over 2. I have taken him skiing 4 days in a row and he is still ready for action. He is only 50lbs so I sure your Husky can toss him around.

Done.

 

[KC Masterpiece]

Done.

Excellent.

So are you our official snow drift crossing guy for this trip? I know you have good experience with one of those hills out there.

 

[justin4045]

Planning on making this. Has always been super fun!

 

[FunkyYota]

Let's party.

I will have my 2 1/2 year old dog as well, he loves to play with others. Should be entertaining with all these dogs.

Glad to hear many of the old time veterans are showing up again. Even Tim, Hants, Dan R., Dave and Rachel can make it. Just like old times I will have my girlfriend and her dog with me.

My younger daughter will be riding along with her boyfriend in his 98' Tacoma. They will also have their wheelin' friend in a Jeep join us. They are seniors at Lakewood HS and have been getting out quite a bit doing what they can with their vehicles and with what tires and mods they can afford. They have good attitudes and are up for leaning more. They have been going to Yankee recently but haven't really been able to get up the ice hill from the middle parking lot.

I'll pass out burritos in the morning. Hopefully Tim will have a large burrito warmer and can help pass out more throughout the day. Could probably use a few solid guys with good radios spread out in the middle of the group that can assist their local group and maintain communication with me at the front. I expect we will get spread out again. And unlike other trails. Splitting off on side trails and breaking from the group is always an option and long as you are with someone with a good radio and knows the area.

won't make it. i'll be out of town this weekend
