2019-05-04 Monserate Mountain and my first CW chase

Today I headed up to Monserate Mountain (W6/CT-235 - Monserate Mountain) to do a little hiking and play radio.  It’s been several weeks since I’ve been able to get out and I haven’t been riding my bike so it felt good to hit the trail.  I was originally planning on a hike in the same area to W6/SC-445.  I did 445 last year and remembered it to be a real thigh burner as well as having a couple of spots where the weeds were so thick across the road it was a real bear... I did a search after sleeping in this morning and found Monserate very close to that one.  It has been activated quite a few times and has a published trail so I figured it would be a better choice given my current fitness.
