Photo Of The Week: 07.31.10
My SPOT personal locator beacon triangulates my position atop Tipsoo Peak prior to sending out an okay message to friends. I have taken the GPS Messenger out twice now and it’s been outstanding in pinpointing my positions. Thus far I have only used the device to send out okay and custom messages, but I am very well pleased with the service it provides. Hopefully I will never need to use it in a distress call situation, at which point my position becomes that of a rescue operation. Come tomorrow I will be climbing in some of Oregon’s most remote mountains, the Wallowas, and likely would not do it alone without SPOT as my lifeless companion.
