This time of the year the question for huckleberry lovers is what is the forecast for the huckleberry crop this year?
Heavy snow pack and the wet springs typically make great conditions for a good huckleberry crop.
Here is what Rick Landers, outdoor writer for the Spokesman Review, said about what he found while hiking in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington earlier this month:
I hiked several areas this past week and saw for myself. And I’ve received photos from several readers. All reports indicate huckleberry bushes loaded with blossoms from Pend Oreille County through the Idaho Pandhandle.
Of course, there could be some areas with less abundance, but for now the general forecasts is, well, SaaaWEET.
WONDERFUL NEWS!!
