Went to another,was getting picked clean in a hurry.
About 6-10 other vehicles up there. On a Monday. :dunno:
If your looking ,I wouldn't wait this year.
This heat is gonna dry them quickly.
Not sure berrys will even be around for bear season.

Some bushes the berrys turned all white.
Not sure if that's a sign that they dried up while they where still green.
It took us about 2.5 hour to get those.
Trying to find spots off the road that had not been picked over.
Keep telling the wife ,I have to find the Virgin patch. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Probably one of those gallon Ziploc full.
But she breaks it down to those smaller bags.
She makes .....
Huckleberry dump cake
Huckleberry cheese cake
Huckleberry pie filling sauce that we put on other deserts.

Will be up at Trout Lake property Wed. Guess I better look - thought it was too early!That's what I thought too.
Went to a low elevation spot first,nothing.
Went high,rigs and people everywhere.
Found the berrys up high.

I'll be surprised if they're out at the berry fields or if the road is even open. Let us know.
