Sandy W7NRS and I decided to go on a get-away to the San Jacinto’s for a 3-day backpacking trip. We also wanted to hit a Summits on the Air peak while we were there. We got our permits for the Tahquitz zone and made plans to hike up Devils Slide from Idyllwild California. See what gear we took along and how the activation went.
