At our monthly Portneuf ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) meeting on Thursday evening we spent most of the meeting discussing the Pocatello 50 race which will be held on Saturday, May 29th in the hills west and south of Pocatello. The club will be providing the radio communications between the six aid stations and the start/finish line of the 51.8 mile race.

The weather has been very much wintery in the entire northwest. We’ve had lots of rain, some pretty heavy snow squalls, and even some snow-thunder storms around. I think it’s the same way every year … but we still wish it would be spring for more than a couple of days in a row.

TTFN!
