Gotcha, I'll be hiking in from the Troy side as well. I'm in the same boat as you as I have next week off but can't decide wether to wait until May as I have two weeks off then too.

It's killing me to wait till the 13th of May, I won't be surprised if I just take off next weekend for three days and go.  Long way to drive for a 3 day weekend!

We should hook up and hike in for a few days and spike out. I am having a hard time talking my dad into commiting to the hike into the wilderness but I really want to do it. I may be doing that the morning of the 16th.

Trust me, normally I'd be all over that. I cannot leave my dad alone for too long, if you need help getting a bear out just stop by and I will help.  I probably don't have too many years left with him and he also cannot walk very far.  I just hope we can find a bear close to the road, last time we drew we did but he was too nervous to take the shot.  I had to kill it for him, (he's a disabled hunter internet police) so it was legal.

You guys are killing me.  Get my truck back I'll be scheduling another 3-4 day run to 166.  Hope I don't have to wait till the 22nd.  Keep the reports comings.  Anybody get cell service in the Weneha?  I lose AT&T as soon as I leave Dayton.  Couldn't even get it up at the guard tower.

Silk has been sending pic's and reports from inside the wenaha, but, he probably has Verizon if I had to guess.  At&t does not work well in the woods.

I run Verizon. I had service pretty well anytime I was on a hill top in Wenaha.
