Please note that the date will change.
I had to input a date in here though for the thread to work with the plug-in that schedules the events.

I was yakking with Chris (member Tofer) and we decided it would be fun to get some members together from the area to camp out up at Greenwater

There is an abundance of free camping up there, and many spots are on the river up there.

Off of Forest Service Road 70 are lots of spots further up about eight miles where you turn onto 70 that are on the river.
Most of the lower spots have been ruined by the logging outfits who have "trenched" the roads leading in making you park along the outer road and carrying all of your gear in.

They did this to prevent the homeless from living up there I would imagine, and to prevent vehicles from leaking oil into the water.

I will be doing some scouting up there sometime in May to look for some good spots.
I know of a few on 70 that will hold around 10 rigs, maybe more

Also there are some good spots further up highway 410 on FS Road 73 on Huckleberry Creek.

I just got off the phone with the White River Ranger station, and there is still three feet or more of snow as soon as you turn off of the highway.

It would not do much good to explore the area right now until we get a meltdown up there.

I would head up early Friday (might take the day off) to setup camp.
I also pretty much would not be doing any 4wheeling, I would mainly be hanging out at the campsite getting some much needed R&R.

But there are tons of roads/trails you can explore up there, and there should be little snow up there come mid June or so.
Some at the higher elevations will exist though on the main FS roads.

I am getting back into camping after taking several years off from it.
Getting stocked up on the right gear to make my trips enjoyable.

For those who want to camp, you might think about some sort of crapper to bring along.
Beats digging a hole up there

Also a good idea to bring your own firewood, although there is a lot of clear cut areas that have leftover wood laying around

If this turns out to be a good event, maybe we could do another one later on in the summer.
