    I haven't been in there for years so can't help sorry.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    She's a steep pull from the road end,once over the top pretty good to Skips(shocking pink last time I was there,)another good pull over to Rogers' then from memory pretty good to the saddle
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Was up there last week, road is all fixed up and the campground is primo... The hut is gone, thank God! Shouldn't take you to long to see a bit of sign.... The creek is overgrown due to the horses being rounded up last year but still an awesome place for a couple of days! What dates are you going? I'm hoping to be there next week for a night or two..
