Got room for one for Saturday? I have to be back home Saturday night as my cousin and family are flying into Spokane at midnight.

Yes I'll open up another couple spots when I get home, that will put us at 9 rigs so that'll be the h heard cap.
Should be no issues with camp, and I'll prerun just to make sure it's all possible with snow levels. Frenchman coulee is definitely good, but the Douglas Creek falls area might have some difficult areas

If there is more interest I can back out. That weekend falls after a major event with work that will cut my time very thin so I don't mind droping out for somebody else to go.

@Ebbs do you have any specific trails in mind for Douglas Creak Falls area? I am going to be in the vicinity next week on the 11th for work. I wouldn't mind a detour on the way home just to go peak at things.

I don’t know what we are going to be able to do but I was shortly notified that my work is doing a sale on the 22nd so we won’t be attending a lot of that day but we will most likely join at some point. We should close at 3 and be on the road by 5 at the latest.

Might just meet us at Frenchman Coulee and then hit up the Douglas Creek area on Sunday (my plan was to hit one part Saturday on the way to camp, and another on the way home)
I don’t always receive the notifications either (this is April). What phone do you have Erin?

Recent imagery and OnX and snow levels in GAIA look promising. Still might be muddy with the melt off, but easily doable. Still pre running the weekend before, but things are looking good. Weather in vantage is going to be in the high 50's the week before(it's still too early for a long range forecast for our weekend) most importantly it's going to be in the '50s and '60s from now until then with very little rain.

I am looking forward to camping! I had to work the weekend of the Canada trip in February so it feels like forever. Also looking forward to the April trip to Kootenay Lake in ole Canada lead by Mr Cody @Codeman

Hi April. I have an Android. I took the app off because it was screwing up my phone. I'm getting sporadic email posts. Not sure what is happening. There were messages on the website but I guess I have to remember to look. I've never liked OB's platform, sadly.
It’s a bit wonky at times, and I don’t get consistent notifications. Whether that’s my phone or the app, I’m unsure. I think I have your cell so I’ll try to update you via text when I can.

Reposting this here as well for everyone:
On the app make sure have the eye in the top right selected so you get alerts when we post on the main thread. I personally use my iPad and the webpage version as I find it to make more sense to me. On the webpage version the top right will have a WATCH hyperlink you can toggle on and you should receive notifications.

Heading out tomorrow to Scout the intended route. just to be clear, the trip is 100% a go, and I will have a route posted early next week, just trying to make it a bit more adventurous/interesting/scenic.
