Rokslide hiking trip

[dreamingbig]

hike vs drive? seems like a no brainer... next year I am going to plan a scouting trip on a different weekend.

Welcome bud! Should definitely be a good time I'll be bringing some Pendleton as well, in a gatorade bottle of course... Since we'll likely be hiking in together you want to save some weight and only pack one spotter?

Mike

Yeah one spotter would be fine, I was just going to bring the 15X56 swaros, probably won't bring a rifle either.. That'll save a lot of weight.. Just want to bring your spotter?

Sounds good to me. I'll have 20 lbs in spotter, tripod, ammo and rifle alone!!

Spud doesn't have a dog sling to pack your rifle? Haha I should be pretty light if ya want to even some weight out?

Yeah that'd be awesome. Between you me and MLHS we should be able to break things up pretty good!!

Hows the fishing and what to bring for gear?

That's to bad the Kifaru rally and the hike will be on the same weekend. I will still be going on the hike sounds like its going to be a good time.

Sounds like a plan, you know where ya want to carpool from? Your house maybe?

We need to get a count on who's going in on Friday afternoon/night and who's going in on Saturday morning. I will be working in Lewiston on Friday and trying to get out of there by 12:00 and driving straight to Wenatchee. The way things are going it looks like I will be heading up the mountain on Saturday morning

Myself and the other 3 in my truck will be Saturday morning. Along with OBP. That's 5.

 

[Justin Crossley]

littlebuf, 7mag, myself and one more guy will be hiking in Friday afternoon.

Pending a FUBAR situation on my part, Actionshooter and I should be there around 4pm (give or take an hour). Just downloaded the maps to my phone. Looks like fun.

I just put 3 full trays of elk pasta in the dehydrator. I feel like Martha Stewart or something. Lol. This should make 4 meals about the same size as a mountain house.

I went through 1 box of pasta, 1.5 lbs. of ground elk, 2 bottles of pasta sauce and a lot of parmesan cheese. I still have another batch to go tomorrow. I think I'll use ground turkey and another type of pasta.

 

[HellsCanyon]

Sweet! I'm going to try and make some Mexican rice n beans with taco seasoned elk burger this week!

Would like to try a pasta of some sort as well...

Mike

 

[slim9300]

Heavier than a comparably sized mountain house, but probably double the calories (and tastiness). I got 4 meals from this batch too.

 

[mtbshark]

Looks yummy!
Myself and buddy hiking in am of Saturday.
Any one been into this zone recently?
Was the hills on Saturday 13th and the mosquitoes where wicked thick.

 

[Brock A]

Last year this time up in the central cascades the mosquitoes were pretty bad. I will have the thermocell & spray. Especially after this weekend lol.

 

[mtbshark]

Dude I had nightmares about them after yesterday. Pretty sure I am down a pint of blood

 

[HellsCanyon]

Bugs will definitely be out! I'm going to pick up one of the new OFF clip on deals and bring deet as well. My thermacell wasn't working two weeks ago which kinda sucked.

Yeah dude those son of a bitches were relentless. I have never experienced them that bad. Life lessons learned the hard way I guess.
