Post by: n_mathews13 on August 12, 2014, 02:53:37 PM: No tag, part of the reason I want to go there becouse not to many guys think it's worth it. I enjoy being away from people and roads. It is a lot of work, planning another trip there this sat. Also hopen to see a bear or two while I'm hunting there in Oct.
