Morse Code Camping POTA and Wasp Adventure

CW POTA by a lake provides beautiful scenery but also brings wasp visits!

Camping and POTA go hand in hand and this time we hike to a beautiful spot near the lake to set up for a fun activation. The birds were out and one pesky wasp decided to intervene. One of us might be a little scared of wasps, but we'll let you watch and decide who 🤣 But, as always we had a great time and had awesome contacts!
