Route Description:
|
|
This ride is from Wind Lake to Whitnal Park where we will stop for the MRC91 2006 Field Day events. After lunch (an hour or
so), we will return to Wind Lake.
Field Day events at the park:
As with many Amateur Radio public events, this is a family oriented event. This means there will be plenty of friendly people around who are willing to chat and demonstrate the hobby to the public. They will also be quite interested in knowing more about our bikes (and trikes!) so there should be plenty for everyone to do.
We should be arriving at the park in time for a picnic-style lunch (carry-in is optional but appreciated).
I heard that there will likely be a geocaching event so bring your GPS with you!
There may also be a "fox hunting" event which is similar to geocaching but is tracking a radio rather then a GPS coordinate.
