K2 Pictures/Road Trip Pictures!

[Sarah K.]

I'm back from my week-long road trip, and I finally have pictures from
my trip online, plus the pictures from my K2 build...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/af6fh/collections/

(Note: If you're offended by pictures of ham radios and stuffed
animals in close proximity, you probably shouldn't look... :-)

I actually didn't do much radio stuff on my trip; it was my first road
trip ever, and at times just getting from one place to another was as
much as I could handle! However, I did set my K2 up in the field,
which was good practice, because I expect to be doing more of that in
the future. My road-trip kit needs a little refinement, too, and I'll
have to work on that a bit. (Expect questions later!)

I think the photos are very good and the way you got the stuffed animals
to work on the K2 build is AMAZING! :)

Nifty pictures, well-taken. The K2 is the cherry on top. Have fun.

Sarah,
I'm pleased that you took the time to stop in Gaviota and snap a few photos  
of the rest stop as well.
I live a few miles down the road toward Santa Barbara.  The dead trees  you
saw are more of a bush when foliated and were actually the remains of a burn  
that swept through the area about 3 years ago. The protracted draught in this  
area has delayed the usual re-growth considerably. This area is noted for its  
daily high winds and that contributes somewhat to the vulnerability to fires.
I  hope you had a chance to turn towards the beach area a 1/4 mile    south
and have a look at one of the nicest beaches on the Cal  coast. know  for a
very wide expanse of pure white sand I have spent quite a few days as a  
youngster playing there.
 
The shot up hill at the ridge on the west side has a very interesting  
feature we cal the 'elephant'. It's most noticeable when in the southbound 101  as
you approach from the canyon. along the ridgeback is a formation of rocks  that
look like a small family of elephants - mom,  pop, and a couple young,  as
they trudge up the ridge tail in trunk with the lead elephants trunk/head and  
right ear very pronounced. Mostly only locals who travel the road frequently
are  aware of it.
 
Hope the rest of trip was fun and love the K2!
