Hwy 95 Gravel Pit, DN12hv20
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This gravel pit along Hwy 95 "ION Hwy" provides a convenient quick pulloff that's not far from the adjacent grids DN02-03-13. But don't get your hopes up; it's barely above the desert floor and long-distance propagation will be marginal. This is good for local contacts while grid-circling but not for a grid expedition. Danner Water Tank, DN12hv95
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This water tank is immediately off Hwy 95 "Ion Highway" just south of Danner, OR, an easy drive from Cow Lakes to the north in DN13. This was one of my most productive hilltops in the 2015 Sept VHF Contest. Note that Thompson Creek Ridge has better altitude and probably has better propagation, but it's also an hour further from the grid corner. Driving directions: The water tank is on Hwy 95, halfway between Jordan Valley and Rome. The entrance road is stright across from the turnoff to Danner. Restrictions: No water. Antelope Reservoir, DN12jv18
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A nice basic campsite near the grid corner DN02-03-12-13. Open horizon in all directions but hey, it's a lake, this is not a high spot. No water, no services. Vault toilet. Pharmacy Hill, DN12lx24
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An table overlooking the city of Jordan Valley near the DN12/DN13 grid line. This is not as good as it sounds. The road is terrible and the hill is not very high. Gravel Pit 2, DN12bt50
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A highway service gravel pit alongside '78 near the grid corner. There is instant access from the highway and you can climb 100' up to the top with a good view down the valley each way. Restrictions: It's a long way, 42 miles, to food and gas in Jordan Valley. Hwy 95 Hill, DN12dd65
![]() ![]() ![]() Near the Oregon-Nevada border is a dirt track up to a very good hilltop with a small antenna of some sort. (Cellphone?) Driving directions: Turnoff from Hwy 95 is at 42.121368, -117.74558. Follow this dirt track up hill. North Blue Mtn, DN12bj31
![]() ![]() ![]() Not far off Hwy 95, near Basque, is a dirt road up to North Blue Mountain Reservoir. It seems like a good accessible local high point at 5,800'. Juniper Ridge 2, DN12ju46
![]() ![]() ![]() Grahams Hill, DN12fv99
Might be drivable. Red Hill, DN12lt45
![]() ![]() ![]() Driving directions: Off road. Red Hills, DN12do16
![]() ![]() ![]() Driving directions: Find Rome State Airport, then east off-road. Restrictions: It's a long way, 66 miles, to get food and gas in Jordan Valley. Clover Mtn, DN12sr96
