Low Divide Pit is an old mine tailing pit with easy access. Road is rough and steep so takes some time to get here, but easy to do in any vehicle while paying attention.

When you're in this area, check these:

Driving directions: From HWY 199 drive north on FS road 17N49 to entrance of tailings pile.

Needs scouting. There appears to be a cell tower here.

Crissey Field Rec Site 1

Don't go: the CN71-CN72 grid line is gated off. A sign says "Authorized Personnel Only" at the entrance to the stub road. You can try operating from the Visitor Center parking lot. However this is a popular place and very busy in the summer.

The Point St George parking lot is about about as far west as you can go in California. It's about fifty feet above sea level. Good distance away from the hills so take-off angle is pretty good. On 144 I have worked to Portland and down to Sacramento area with 150 watts and 12 elements, however mostly to big gun stations. - 2008 W7KLK

Driving directions:
From Crescent City, take W Washington Blvd toward the airport.
Continue straight on N Pebble Beach Dr to the end.

Restrictions: Daylight hours only.

A wide spot on the Ball Hills Road, just a few hundred feet north of the CN70-CN71 grid line. Needs scouting.
