Found a gallon today.
« on: July 17, 2023, 01:55:57 PM »
Yup one spot was already dried up.
Went to another,was getting picked clean in a hurry.
About 6-10 other vehicles up there. On a Monday. :dunno:

If your looking ,I wouldn't wait this year.
This heat is gonna dry them quickly.
Not sure berrys will even be around for bear season.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Not sure what was going on.
Some bushes the berrys turned all white.
Not sure if that's a sign that they dried up while they where still green.

It took us about 2.5 hour to get those.
Trying to find spots off the road that had not been picked over.
Keep telling the wife ,I have to find the Virgin patch.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Final haul right there.
Probably one of those gallon Ziploc full.
But she breaks it down to those smaller bags.
She makes .....
Huckleberry dump cake
Huckleberry cheese cake
Huckleberry pie filling sauce that we put on other deserts.

I'll be surprised if they're out at the berry fields or if the road is even open. Let us know.

At roughly what elevation were you finding them?
