Beautiful area and river. Took my family up during the week, and was harrassed by a group weirdos hiding in the woods during the night. Making war whoops around my truck in the brush ( in the dark) to the point me and my family (plus four small kids) felt threatened for our safety and had to get the chelan county police to escort us back to camp to pack up and drive 4 hours home in the middle of the night. Contacted the ranger for that area and was disappointed at the lack of concern for the situation. Ranger mentioned it could of been researchers studying owls in the area....really???? The 911 dispatcher in Leavenworth also confirmed she has heard of similar harrassment in that area as well. Beautiful area, that being said be aware of people like these up there! Would hate for anyone to go what we went through, stay safe.
