Hey fellas - the indicated date would be fine for me, and I don't want to insert a damper, but how about experience?
This summer, due to NF restrictions, we were forced to camp at a NF campground so we could cook and we had no campfire, no privacy and no immediate place to shoot. This due to early summer dryness after a dry winter/spring. The summer rains ordinarily do not begin until after mid-July.
It is now the end of July, we have had decent rain on and off for more than a week or so, and more to come. This place is looking GREEN and the forest is open to camping/fires, etc. or very soon will be. Elk all over the place. Much more pleasant and plenty of places for a deluxe forest conclave that would be near no one.
So - might wish to think about mid-August for the above reasons. Just an observation.
