I am up for it as well. It will be a nice change to go with like minded individuals and not just by myself so much.

i just bought a new rifle stock from boyds and am looking for a recommendation on somebody to take it to in washington to have it checkered. would rather not have to ship it half way across the country if there is somebody here who will do quality work. thanks

Headed backpacking in the morning... Might be a little cold this weekend at 5K'!!

A few of us went out last Sunday during all the rain and there was no shortage of snow. I bet it is even better out there now! I am jealous.

Good page. This winter trip should be a good time.

Needless to say it got COLD up there this weekend! We weren't as high as I though but we were still down around the 0* -> -5*F range. Used a silnylon ground cloth, CCF pad, BA Q-core SL, Marmot Sawtooth 20* bag with my 20* Rev X quilt inside and I stayed warm. Will try to get a few pics up... I will say though after this trip and my recent desert trip I've gotten my fill of cold weather camping for the year! Not so much the fact that I dislike the cold or had trouble staying warm, but when you're down below 10* constantly, your water freezes, your filter freezes, your stoves don't cook as well...etc

And it's bad that I'm already dreaming of July/August scouting trips next year.... I didn't kill my big muley this year but next year I'll likely be hunting WA, ID, and CO on 3 deer tags so I'm hoping to be able to find some decent bucks!
