Title: Horse packers around Naches area
Post by: crazyantler on July 21, 2011, 09:31:53 PM: I am trying to make the most of the branch bull rife tag I have for Peaches unit and am thinking of hiking into areas of the Wilderness and was wondering if anyone knows names and numbers of any local meat packers in that area of Naches? I know we are capable of packing but with two tags and the possibility of downing two bulls we want some backup plans if needed. How is cell phone reception in that area on the ridge tops? Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Your best bet.

As for cell coverage. Some areas you get it, some you dont :dunno:
Some days you can get coverage at Ravens Roost, some days you don't :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
