I ended up tent camping at "Powell Camp". The forest service has put up a bunch of new signs telling you whats what. Kind of nice. Some motorcycle camps and some target shooting in the later part of the evening. I'm cool with both...the motorcycles sounded like fun. My old MX instincts were kicking in as i listened to them ride about. Woke to frost and a few elk feeding about 60yds from my tent. The zipper on the tent opening had them moving on their way unfortunately. Saw a few whitetails on a morning walk before i left.
The Tuccannon rd is still closed past Rainbow lk. I was talking with an ole boy last week who said the rd has been washed out. :dunno: Not good. I didnt go up Skyline to see if its open.
Good luck to the bear and turkey hunters :tup:

You can get to three forks trail head from troy, if you are hunting the south end.I was at three forks the weekend before, grass was 10"+high. By this weekend you should be able to get anywhere till need to

Anyone know if you can get to the top from the Grouse Flats side?That is a big negative ghost rider!! Snow blocks the road just past dry camp.

How far past dry camp? A week ago any two wheel drive on the planet could make it no problem to dry camp.

yes, to dry camp from grouse creek rd is clear, if we are talking about the dry camp just across from the road that goes up to the towers. Past that about 1/4 mile or so it get blocked, you can’t make it to the horse camp in the saddle.Anyone know if you can get to the top from the Grouse Flats side?That is a big negative ghost rider!!

Just drove up there. You can get almost a mile from Dry camp now. Quads are running over the 3 or 4 snow banks. So it won’t be too much longer before it’s open.yes, to dry camp from grouse creek rd is clear, if we are talking about the dry camp just across from the road that goes up to the towers.

Not sure I saw you. We were driving a grey Chevy Colorado. At Dry camp there was a dodge truck parked with no canopy. Then on the way back down we talked to two bear hunters pulling a horse trailer. Can't remember what kind of truck.

Anyone know if Teepee spring up past Godman is a viable source of water? Thinking about hoofing it in past the snow.
Any place there is snow there is water. Especially with the hot weather this weekend. The drifts I have been seeing the last several trips have a steady flow of water coming out the downhill side.

Yes you can make it to Troy shes wide openThanks, now just need to decide which route is fastest to take from west side to 3 forks trail head?? Pomeroy to 3 forks, Anatone to top then to 3 forks, or just go down the canyon to grouse creek?
