I took the liberty of copying a Post from
here (post #13) that
Justin from
@Anchor Mtn put up some info to basically the same question.
Justin's a good guy, very familiar with the area, I've camped at some of these spots, when you get there, you'll get how easy it is to find an awesome primitive spot. Knowing you, I'm sure you'll represent and leave a clean camp with no trace!
