Outdoor school taught about berries: "Blue and black always, red sometimes, white never." I've found it accurate so far.

Re: Huckleberries
The red berries appear to be red huckleberries, usually found at lower elevations. Blue huckleberries grow at higher elevations. Near Timothy, they are at peak. You can pick what you want but cannot take out of the forest, without a permit. Free harvest permit limits you to three gallons.

Re: Bull of the woods wilderness. Bug report please.
July 21st they we're moderately annoying. Moving, no problem. Sitting reading a book, well I went into my tent. They should be much better now.

This trail is in the Wallowa Whitman Forest, outside of Baker. It's one end of the Elkhorn trail. Looking for a bit of info. Room for camping at trailhead? Forested, or open? Water?
Thanks!

Re: 4 person backpacking tent?
We have the Copper Spur HV UL3, for two of us, and found lots of extra room, fwiw. One 25" and one 20" sleeping pad. A thought -- two 2-3 person tents offers flexibility.
