I went back and activated US-7929 (Hillsdale State Wildlife Area) again this morning. It was a bit warmer out than last time, around 45 degrees F. I went to another boat launch on the north side of the lake, about a mile to the east of where I was last time.
I brought my dog Truman to see if he’d enjoy going out with me. I think he got bored after about 15 minutes – he’s a beagle, and he wanted to keep walking and explore the beach more. I tried to get him to just sit and relax, but he seemed like he was getting cold and restless, so I ended up letting him sit in the car for the last 30 minutes or so. I’ll try to take him out again, but I’ll probably wait until the spring, when the weather is warmer.
I had a lot of callers – there’s not a lot of POTA competition on a chilly December morning. My friend Robb (K2MZ) from LICW called me park-to-park as well.

Here’s some more photos.
