A big thanks to all the hunters who made today's activation of Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, K-2635, so awesome. An equally big thanks to the park employees who went out of their way to make this activator feel welcome.
A dam quick activation of Lake Mead National Recreation Area, K-0676.
A nice bunch of QSOs from Chino Hills State Park, K-1139, just outside Los Angeles, including an SSB contact with F5PYI en français.

That's about as good a weekend as you can have in San Diego—at least when it's not baseball season. A steak and martini at The Remy Cocktails & Meat, an ocean view, and plenty of contacts with North America and Europe from Cabrillo National Monument, K-0907.
Just a remarkable place for an activation. An abandoned ranch at Wildwood Canyon State Park, K-3593.
Shortwave radio and a martini.
Not the most photogenic #Facon9 launch ever, but my first chance in a long while to see a launch out of Vandiland from the house.
