Thanks for that info Hooky and Tom ! That interagency pass looks like one heck of a deal. I never even had a clue such a thing existed .

In my opinion you have some long days in there for a little one....but it looks like you have a day or 2 to play with. Between w ckn bn and hatchet ...water up when you can there is a nice stream in there. The switchbacks are kinda cool when climbing the ridge! This stretch also has some beautiful ...

I have posted this on my minong trip report ...but they work too good not to mention them again....home built ultra light waders were my solution ....they make getting water easier too

I am ...

I don't even take my phone! I am sure I am not alone alone when I say this. If you can't unplug ....GO SOME PLACE ELSE! leave the last wilderness wild! Technology has a place ...

Lack of snow this year combined with warm temps,I am betting on early bug hatches!
