A rather well hidden arachnid?
Yes-- didnt get a very good pic. Small (about 2.5") tarantula. We saw one at camp last year too. It was getting water from a dripping water can on the back of Will's trk.

We also saw a large tortoise out here the other day--- pic---

and a baby one yesterday---no pic---

and a sidewinder rattler last weekend---pic---

Comms?

Just a quick question...is there any official type of radio communications that has been selected? It seems the choices are military PRC 77, 25 or RT 524 etc., CB, or FM handi-talkies. Is there cell phone coverage in the area? This might be helpful to anyone arriving late, especially if the group is out on a trail ride, cleaning up, or relaxing at Slash X.

Thanks,
Matt

Try looking over on the G.503 board , or post a WTB on the communications board here on SS.

As to cell service at Dirt bag. It is sketchy at best. Depends on your service provider as well.
As to radio gear my stuff is early period correct but not wired up more for static display. Others may chime in .

I have a PRC-25 set up in the M1009, but I can move it into the M35A2. I haven't tried transmitting on it in a few years. My grandkids liked listening to the audio of TV channels two and four, but you can't do that anymore since TV went digital.

Can also install CB or bring FM handi-talkies.

Matt, not sure about cb's or military radios, but cell phones dont work in camp. However, they work perfectly less than a mile away. If people let me know their planned day and time of arrival, I'll be glad to head out to check my phone for messages if someone needs guidence

My convoy is coming up LATE Thursday. We won't be able to roll north until almost 2000, so don't plan on going to sleep too early if you're up there. Got one buddy towing up his Sami, and other driving my little truck/camper and towing (his 1st tow ever) the Sami dude's camper. I'll be in the rear watching everything from my deuce pulling the M105 kids condo.

We plan on unloading everything in the morning.

If we will be deploying to the usual AOR I won't need any assistance.

Speaking of trade or swap, I have 1 M105 side rack with wood rails, for a small donation(Silver Bullets or anything that goes boom) if someone wants it let me know.

Dug, if AOR means same place as last time, yes :smile:. What % is the tread on the tires?

As always,I'm glad to see new people will be joining us this fall! Post #22 by The Recorder gives a great description as well as a google map from the 15 to camp. If anyone is still unsure, post up. Since there are so many people coming out different days and times, it's usually pretty easy to find someone to convoy into camp with;-) Two weeks left!!

What do you want for the 5 ton troop seats. I also have a small girls quade (pink and white camo) if anyone is interested it nedds a chain and battery.
 
I will be out heading out Saturday and be there Saturday and Sunday. I'll have a cell phone and a Motorola T5710 walki talkie. I'm bringing firewood and hopefully an RC car. Along with maybe a model airplane or two. (Dad's idea) My question is, are we still meeting at the same place or are we going to that new place that was talked about?
