Hi Pete,
Thanks for the good suggestions of rove locations. Fighting an "I don't
care" attitude of others is much easier than fighting limitations of
terrain, so that's a good sign.
I've read a bunch of the PNW Rover blogs. They certainly get into it. While
I'll likely never seriously compete with them, they are a source of good
info.
I'll check out 3830, thanks.
Sean
