Title: Camping behind 1900 closure??
Post by: lagnar on August 31, 2012, 06:13:13 PM: I'm thinking of getting in behind the 1900 closure on the 9th Sunday, camp until they open road on ? Fri ? Anyone else? Figure the pressure should be lower? I would hate to harvest one without being able to get it out quickly. Is the backroad to Greenwater open and do-able for a f350? I'll prob drive it on Sunday just to make sure. I scouted up there a ton this summer, found bear and elk, not too many deer. My deer spot looks to be on fire.

White f350 dually if you need any help hauling or packing out.
