Title: Camp spot in in Colville national forest?
Post by: briancorneal on November 13, 2013, 04:19:06 PM: I've been looking on google earth and wdfw's gohunt and there's a on of roads, but I'm looking specifically right off hwy 20 midway (as much as possible) between kettle falls and republic. I've got the family with me so a nice easy spot would be great. We're doing some winter camping and would appreciate a little insight from the ground troops. Any ideas or roads I can start with?

By the way, midway between Republic and Kettle is buried in snow during the winter.

It felt like I had half the back of my 4runner filled with wood and I burned that up in the first few days. Thank god for my wife ok-ing a chainsaw purchase. She definitely reaped the benefits of the chainsaw that weekend.
