Title: Going scouting this weekend-RIMROCK-
Post by: backwoods_boy on August 18, 2008, 01:37:46 PM: promise this is the last time i ask for a couple weeks :hello:

We are headed over friday, and have no idea really where to start. :dunno: My dad has an RV that he would like to stay in and not sure if there is any place to HOOKUP. So if you have a plan of attack that might help me out please please let me know.

My dad, my brother and i all have ANYBULL tags for RIMROCK and area really excited to see some ELK.
let me know if you have any thoughts about where to start we have two full days of scoutin and more to come.
thanks in advance.

The nearest hook-ups would be at one of the resorts on the north side of rimrock lake. a bit of a drive every morning for you. I'd just take a generator and camp closer myself.

1201, 1202 and 1203 roads are easy country.

Pinegrass flat is easy country too. Not familiar with the western portion of the unit.
