First 3 miles done 19 more to go.
Now comes the fun stuff moving some VW bug sized boulders, some shovel work in the rock slides and clearing lots and lots of blowdowns anywhere from 6 inches to 36 inches in diameter. One thing is for sure won't run out of seasoned firewood while out there.
Dayum this working for someone else only 2 days a week is GR8.  Gives me plenty of time for things I want to do.

Have decided to look at another area that have hunted before just not as far back as far as my original destination. Elevation at camp site 5815. Spent the last 2 days picking rocks off of 2 of 8 rock slides
Will still be pretty much a secluded area as from mile 2 to mile 3 is all UP HILL with to many switchbacks to count then another 3 miles to the hunting area.  One good thing about this new area is it is extremely scenic  Plenty of good cold water that is fast moving so won't be any need to carry in water or filter and  found lots of sign for both deer and bear.

Attached are a couple of pictures of the area and what the trail looked like before I started picking rocks (Picture 4) and after (Picture 5).. Sorry pictures aren't better but taken with a dinosaur flip phone.

Nice pictures. I love the Pasayten. I myself will be going in deep this year again. I hike in by myself but have always entertained the idea of going in on a pack animal and with a partner to save my aging legs for the hunt. Don't have the animals so I'm stuck with these legs for a few years and don't know anyone else who wants to go past 5 or 6 miles.  Good luck to you this year and be safe :-)

Hey all well I'm 36 and retired, if you need some help I miss being up in them hills I live in the marysville area. I'm just getting back into hunting this year... but have hunted most my younger years then joined the service so haven't been critter hunting in some time... and I don't think the hunting in the army counts granted more of a challenge.  Ha ha they shot back lol. I'm am always looking for others to hunt with as of right now I have just leather express to get in wherever... and a truck....
