looking for a place to sleep in the Swakane area next week

Take a tent. I love winter camping. crab cooker for hot water to sponge off and a little weber for chow and the Little buddy heater for the tent and your set.

I have been following this post and don't quite get it.  I don't want to bash the OP, but who in their right mind would invite a complete stranger to their house, camp, etc.  Even though most of the people I have met on this site appear at face value to be good people, I know it is not 100% the case.  I would not subject my wife, children, hunting partner etc, etc, to a stranger that I didn't know.  Now with that being said, if I had a chance to meet you before the hunt and maybe have a few conversations with you I may feel different.  I just find it extremely bold to post you are looking for a place to stay with complete strangers.  Get a tent and there are tons of place to stay.  Sleep in your truck (done that many of times), get a really cheap motel in wenatchee....

Most of my best hunting has been from the Bed of my truck

PS. I realize it is getting cold this time of year

I agree with you and I wouldn't expect someone that had a wife or children in their home to invite a complete stranger into their house. And I also wouldn't expect you to invite me in without speaking to me or meeting me. People couch surf all over the world. I figured why not on a trip east. I have a wife and children and wouldn't be able to offer the same but I do have room for a trailer or tent on my property if ever needed.
