KB1HQS Activating in VT & NY - Issue #20

I arrived in Portland, Maine yesterday ready to kayak with my friend Justin who is the SME on ocean kayaking and we both mutually agreed the high winds would make for a poor trip out to Fort Gorges.

It’s unfortunate, but safety is always #1.

I’m now heading south back to the mid-Atlantic and have some time so I figured I would stop in VT and NY to do some new SOTA/POTA activation’s.

This trip is totally on the fly and in an area I have never traveled to before so watch Twitter and my InReach for my current tracks/location.

*If you any suggestions on summits or cool places to visit while in the above areas, drop me an email.

I will have my InReach and as always you can follow me in real time and watch me climb up the summits.

I will also try to update my Twitter account as the week goes on.

On a side note, I stopped in Biddford, Maine at Hyperlite Mountain Gear and picked up a new UL backpack. The guys at HMG were super helpful and I now have a new pack to try out on the trails.
