Anyone interested in doing more hikes or range days this year? Promise to not almost get a Mini stuck in the desert this time.
 If anyone is wanting to go to Montana in late May and needs to meet requirements let me know and I'll drag my wife along so we can get you qualified. I go back to days next week so I'll be available in the evenings again. |

Where do all the BB/APC idaho members reside?
I'm trying to make the move there in the somewhat near future (1-2 years max [i know, i know idaho's full!]), and curious if anyone would be my way (looking at idaho falls area), or if everyone would be far away (totally my luck). |

This group is mostly SW ID, but there has been an attempt to organize up north as well.

It looks like beautiful country and with a lower population and cooler weather, it sounds amazing! Oh i know im already there since im in arizona! Quoted: This group is mostly SW ID, but there has been an attempt to organize up north as well. So nothing in SE, figures...

Yeah most of us in Boise metro. But it all started for us when extra posted up trying to get a group together. I've had life stuff but that seems to have cleared up and I can get back out.

Fundraising is now active. If you know anyone looking for a tax deductible leadership and skills program to support I think I know just the one. Don't forget APC is also available to be selected on Amazon Smile.
APC Fundraising thread In other news, I am looking to get rolling on some hikes again. I am thinking of starting back on flat ground with little to no elevation change, which will likely mean the greenbelt again. However, due to experiencing the rolling hills that were on location in MT, I would also like to get more elevation changes incorporated. I highly recommend anyone wanting to go in May, get some longer hikes in, and include hills. I will be at the usual location Sunday this coming weekend at 10am. I know its short notice, but hopefully others will want to join. Rain or shine I will be there, and it looks to be a little cold so dress appropriately with layers. As usual, I will be happy to field any radio questions and can bring a laptop and baofeng cable if requested. If you are unsure of the location, please PM me, contact me on the ID Telegram, or text me as most of you should have my number. |

I would be there with you extra but I'm up north setting up next week's cola warrior run and then next weekend back to do the event. Pretty sure after next weekend I'm free until April. April I won't have much time as I'll be at cola warrior west and then Maui for 2 weeks after cola warrior.

But... you picked the first sunday in months I am unable. Pretty much any weekend after this I'm good to go on Sundays. I have a place for rolling hills. Maybe get 2 or 3 easy walks in then move into the foothills? I know easy to hard routes within ~20-45 minutes of Boise. |

Cali, I totally understand. Got staff stuff to do up there.
Bushamster, sounds good and let me know. The 21st I won't be able to do unless it's later in the day but next Sunday works for me if you want to start planning. So far it looks like we have 1 other person that will be there. I totally spaced it being Superbowl Sunday I planned for, mostly because I don't watch any sports unless it's on at a restaurant. |

Time to start night hiking with nods.
My april is just about filled out. Cola warrior west on starting on 8th. As soon as I get back from that I'll be in maui for 2 weeks as long as our quick covid test comes back clean. Leaving me a weekend to play with. |

I had hoped to be in a better position but I've been getting shin splints right around mile 2 that have been taking me out. Been going about 3-4 times a week in the neighborhood but I've gotta get the shin splints sorted out to go further. I've added some other exercises to speed this along. Hoping I get past this in ~2 weeks.

Anyone that is interested in getting their ham radio license, there is an in person test session March 27th, in Emmett. If you want to do one at home online with a different group via webcam, let me know and I can get you pointed in the direction.
I am not affiliated with this club, but its available. Signup is open at the link address below or searching the Southwest Idaho Amateur Radio Club online. Usually testing is like $15 cash or so, but I'm not positive. If you are interested, but don't want to use your home address, set up a PO Box prior to the exam. Otherwise name and address are searchable by anyone. If you don't have a radio, I can set you up with a baofeng to try out for a while. I would like to get more local APC members that have comms in the area, and then we can work on HF if anyone is interested.  Attached File |

I was pretty sure they had it listed for that, but couldn't remember if they were doing it as ARRL affiliated VECs or not. Some clubs charge money per test, while others will do it free. It just depends on who is offering the exams.

Alright, its coming that time of the year again where I go to nights and it becomes easier to do things on Saturday mornings. Starting second week in May, I will be available to meet up again on Saturday mornings so lets get out there and hike again. Weather is starting to warm up, and hopefully it dries out soon so we can hit the hills instead of the greenbelt. At some point I would like to do either a hike and then shoot/grill like we had done before, or even just a range day/grill since that seemed like a good time for everyone.

Alright you damn sissy's its time to start burning off your winter fat store. Me and Extra will be hitting a trail this Sunday, trail and time still TBD but we are going even if it's only the 2 of us. Stop making excuses, stop being lazy , fat and any other excuse you want to use, not buying it.
Probable start time of 8 , probably doing the riverwalk or my preference would be the foothills that tried to kill extra last year. |

 Attached FileThanks CaliContractor for coming out this morning. It was just the 2 of us but we had a relaxing hike. Relatively decent pace while still able to maintain a conversation. Pretty nice time of the day to do it as well. Temperature stayed fairly cool even as the sun was coming up. I hope we can get some more people out to these, along with making one into a range trip again. |

Cali and I are thinking of running a hike before I head off to MT, and I plan on using it as a final gear shakedown. Current idea is 10-12 mile, Sunday afternoon or evening, which should be a relatively cool day. I need to confirm with him, but I was thinking the path we have been using off Glenwood due to it being relatively flat with a good mix of pavement/dirt. If you want to join please let us know on here, send me an IM, or contact me via the Telegram chat.
Hope to see some of you guys out there again. Bring comfy shoes, its gonna be a long one!
