Hi from West LA
Hi guys, I'm Garrett from West LA. I'm an avid camper, used to do the rock crawling, but drifted to the 4x4 vans and camping arena (I guess expo). I bring along a dirt bike to keep up! I attached a picture of me and my vehicle. Cruiserlarry told me about the Big Bear HAM event a year or two ago and I keep meaning to make it! My design is to be self-sufficient on trips and I prefer dry camping; the more remote the better! Don't camp next to me if you have a generator. I have a Yaesu handheld HAM for which I look forward to getting a call sign!

Re: Hi from West LA
Hey, Garrett, glad you finally made it on to OAUSA !!!
I hope you are able to make it up to Big Bear this year, but be warned - we will be using generators in the main camp to run all the radio gear for the Field Day activities...

Re: Hi from West LA
haha - I understand your generator use, but I don't understand the giant RVs running them until 10pm or midnight in the bush. Then again, I'm not retired nor do I have kids to cater to...looking forward to a great trip, but walking isn't looking so hot right now.

Re: Hi from West LA
Welcome to the site, Garrett. Hopefully we'll see you out on a run or event sometime. Along with SummerFest, we also have BorregoFest in October.
