[Elecraft] QRP and Camping/Back packing in the Bay Area

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

For a combination of campfires and great operating environment you might
look into one of the beaches on the coast, such as New Brighton State Park
in Capitola, just south of Santa Cruz on the Monterey Bay. You probably
won't have any issues with a campfire in the locations designated for
camping and it's hard to beat the effects of that huge, unobstructed ground
plane to the west that we call the Pacific Ocean. 

I'm sure there are many other camping beaches that a little on-line research
will turn up. It's been a couple of decades since I lived in Capitola.

Subject: [Elecraft] QRP and Camping/Back packing in the Bay Area

 Hello everyone, I'm looking to go camping or Backpacking this weekend with
my QRP set up and have some fun. Not to sure where a good place is in the
Bay area or surrounding areas for that would be. I would prefer to get away
from the crowds, some where I can have a small camp fire, bring my dog, and
of course have decent propagation.
My short list so far is Mt. Diablo, or Black Diamond mines.
Does anybody have any other suggestions? I'm just getting back into the
camping/back packing scene and would like to integrate QRP with it!
Thanks, Dave KM6P
