Any new reports? How about the 40 rd. How bad is it? How long before a guy can get to Diamond peak? Thanks

Anybody been down there?  I am headed down on the 10th.  Just curious how things are looking down there.

I'll be there Friday night, but probably not on the 40 ( mountain road?). I'll report in sometime Saturday unless I get busy.

Good luck on your bear hunt over there. We were over off the mountain road a few weeks ago It was still a bit rough with all the snow. The ticks were pretty few over there compared to the tucannon. Also that 0.5 permethrin didnt seem to be full proof but a buddy of mine went to the doctors and got a head lice lotion with 5% permethrin and it killed em dead.

Drove up the 64 till it drifts out just before it crests the ridge a few miles past the 46. Drove the 46 across the top to Godman, a few hunters there. Drove out to teepee camp and glassed there for a bit. The roads have a few drifts but not bad except the 300. It's still drifted in more than my rig will do. Haven't seen a bear yet, but it's just getting to that time.

At hour 12 of driving, hiking, and glassing. Seen maybe 50 elk, 20 deer, 2 mushroom pickers, 2 hunters, and a few sightseers. Not 1 bears been spotted. LOL! Might have 2 hours of light left.
Hoping Lady Luck makes an appearance!

Well, we struck out. Will have to wait a few weeks before we can try again. Have the next 2 weekends booked. Only suspect seen was way to far to make a move on.
Seen this dude. Looks like he may turn out well. Seen one more a little smaller, but he wasn't as photogenic.

Yeah, I wanted to get up there to a specific ridge that runs out pretty gradual. Unfortunately too much snow to get there.
My plan A and B had too much snow. I used the tow strap to drag one tree out of the road and did more than I should have of throttling into the drifts as far as I could and then backing out and going again, and again. Snows melting fast though. Some stuff I drove in the morning you couldn't even see tracks in by the afternoon.
