brock landers: too crowded, locals and lots of trash
Bury me at Three Forks: 'Too crowded, locals and lots of trash'' That's disturbing. As a ''local'', I used to frequently hike into Three Forks back in the '70's and '80's - I haven't been there for about 10-15 years, but always think about going back. When I used to visit Three Forks, the trails were poorly established at the far end of the the trail - I usually bushwhacked my way down to the rivers over the last quarter to half mile.
Chris: Went the other day. No trash and other than 4 hippies no one out there and there wasn't any trash. Great time.
