This will also include a side trip to the WSDOT Radio Tower and the Million Dollar View Pergola

Should be good exercise but the views might suck since the trees all have leaf's 

Had a fun time with K9BDC ( Brooks ) up on Anti-Aircraft Peak.
Thanks for the contacts everyone and thanks to K7DRQ (  Quentin ) for getting us out to play radio.
I was in no shape to participate, but managed to pull, I think 42 qso's for the WW7PSR event, one quick ragchew, an SOTO, even got two new members to sign up to the group, And a special event station W9IMS.

You might need to zoom In on the suburban's roof to see the 2/70 antenna.
 

K9BDC & N7WAA
 

We found out the ID-52 with the BP-307 is about as thick as the at-d878uv
 

I was using the Surface with 1 bar of 5G to log my calls
 

we had a few more HT's not in frame
 

When switching over to HF we tried to stay in 2M contact.
 

and the proof of purchase
  

I think this would be a good hike for us to do.

Cowell Highlights Loop
Trailhead: visitor center; 5.9 miles, elevation change 420 feet.

Like Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, this hike has everything: redwoods, views, and water. From the visitor center, head up through the redwoods along Pipeline Road to the Eagle Creek Trail. Near the campground, turn right on the Pine Trail. In less than a mile you’ll reach the Observation Deck at 805 feet, the highest point in the park. From there head down the Ridge Fire Road to great views of downtown Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay from the Overlook Bench on Pipeline Road. As you loop back, you can swing by Cathedral Redwoods (on the Big Rock Hole Trail) and Cable Car Beach (on the River Trail). On a warm day, that’s a good place to finish with an afternoon swim.
