I was planning on climbing more hills in the immediate area but things don’t always go as planned. This was a a 1st activation of the summit in addition to being my 300th total, so kinda special for me. There is no trail. We parked the car off a decent 2-track desert road and started hiking up. The photos lie, it was pretty steep in some parts. At the top was a rock carin which I used as a mast support. A register was hidden within. Worked 20, 30, and 40M CW. On the way down I met a rattle snake who I apparently got too close to. Even though I could clearly hear the snake, I never actually saw it even though I looked for a good minute. https://sotl.as/summits/W7N/EM-112 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:08:56 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.benmook.com https://video.benmook.com/lazy-static/avatars/298a662a-dfdd-4a9f-b98f-8ffd38337b70.png https://video.benmook.com/videos/watch/19b18367-d5d2-405f-b350-a64eeac463b2 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.benmook.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
