Current Goal

I want to visit caches in national parks/forests/monuments/grasslands/etc.  as well as caches in state parks, forests and wildlife management areas and the like.  Bonus points for pictures!!!  

Please move me quickly, though, as I am in a race sponsored by Gigaparts and want to travel all over and be returned to Huntsville, Alabama  in August of 2025.  

If you post my picture on the socials, please use the hashtags #gigaparts #igd2025 #renrutsTB

About This Item

Travel bug race rules

I am a green flight tag that says "Parks on the Air" and I want to travel to parks that are activatable!  
 

Parks on the Air is a HAM radio activity where an operator sets up a station in a park and then starts making contacts.  In order to have a successful activation an operator needs to make 10 contacts.  An operator can use any mode or band that is within their classification.  
 

As for parks...the parks that are part of the program have unique identifier like a geocache. An example would be Acadia National Park which is US-0001 in the POTA world.  Of course not every park is eligible, only parks or properties on a state or national level work.

Was with my handsome husband, Blue Meanie, when he retrieved this from the most-recent home. We'll be doing some side-to-side Washington state travel in the next couple of weeks, and will get them dropped off. Thanks for sharing, and good luck on your race! 😎
