Gettin basted- KC competition BBQ joint. The walls are covered with awards they've won. It was so good, we ate there twice on our trip. Burnt ends were amazing....

Did all three this summer- Mt. Rainier was definitely the highlight. The town of Packwood was our base for Rainier and its an hour away from the north side of Mt St Helens, so you can knock out both in the trip. Its a small town, but had a couple of breweries and a handful of restaurants. We only sc...

Times varied per ride- much of that was due to "weather holds". It was quite chilly and some of the rides were down for not meeting the minimum temp, which led to longer waits for those that were open.

Try Wendy Lou Classic Game Reserve- its located near Dublin and is over 4K acres without a feeder on the property. I've hunted it a couple of times, and while not for whitetail, I've seen quite a few on my past hunts. Can't say enough good things about the ranch manager or they guide (his son-in-law...

Dexter Russell serrated- they are fantastic on any of the larger scaled fish- reds, drum, sheepshead. They are cheap and easy to sharpen with a handheld sharpener. ...
