Not at all sure I will though, just have to see how much time and gas money I can come up with before the end of the year.

HomerJ I'd like to know where you camped in the Bear in Cache Valley. More campsites are good, and being able to use my setline permit is more better.

My buddy owns some farm ground down and the Little Bear below Hyrum Dam. They have a "picnic area" fenced off that we camp at. It's more like camping in your backyard, but it is outside in a tent so I count it!

Sorry, I don't have any good public spots to share...

Outside is outside- I won't knock that! Just hoping that you had a good public spot you could send me to.
