Beaches Are Always Better


... when your tires are this fat.



Here, let's zoom out for the full view.


Not a fishing trip, merely a bike ride at St. George Island's state park.  From the East End it was an easy reach for the HT to the 2m Carrabelle repeater, even with that little rubber duck antenna.  Had a short conversation with a friend in Gulf Terrace, 100% clear audio.  Though it's hard to see in the picture, the Carrabelle water tower was in unobstructed view.

Total distance, something like 15 miles including the Gap Point Trail.  The ICT is a hoss to haul around over that kind of range, and this evening I am grateful for the miracle of ibuprofen.
