Submitted by K9VD on
My Adventures in fitness and SOTA continue! This was a fun one, spur of the moment decision to do it. Hours drive to the trail head, hour up, 30 minutes operating, hour down and an hour drive home. The view from the top was really…

It was a cool rainy day in Spokane. My wife Sarah, our friend Kelly, and I wanted to do a hike. And I wanted to do an activation. So we settled on a hike to Quartz Peak. Quartz Peak is another peak within the Mount Spokane State Park. The peak is…
