Making a long trek to WSU Vet School for a few days next week, any tips on dirtbag stealth camping/urban bivy are appreciated.

My A buddy of mine just moved there to teach at the Vet school! He doesnt know much about the area yet but pm "Artesonraju " on this board for a climbing partner.

it depends if you want to set up a tent or are just car bivying. If you're doing the car bivy, check out the gravel parking lot on the corner of Merman Dr and Valley Rd, near the athletic playfields. Alternately, you can drive down Park St for about a mile to a pullout by the Humane Society shelter. less traffic there for sure. If tenting it, that's a bit harder...I'd probably drive east of town on Hwy 27 towards Palouse and hit one of the dirt roads. expect to get up early if a farmer finds you sleeping in his wheat fields. As for bathing and stuff, you can get a day pass to the Student Rec Center for $8 (or go with a student who "sponsors" you and pay $5).

 

Get a beer at the Sports Page, downtown. Rico's (across the street) has the best fries in town.

ask about the "tap dancing discount".

I don't know much about WSU other then they all use to storm Moscow on the weekend back in the day when the drinking age was in Idaho's favor.

 

You should go over to the UI and visit the Outdoor Program and try and talk to Mike Beiser. I believe he still runs the program. He's a good resource for information on climbing and bc skiing in the area.

 

If you do visit him tell him Kurt said hi.
