ice cream huckleberry pie huckleberry
3:15
Jam I mean there's so many things you
3:18
can do with these are definitely worth
3:22
the drive if you find a good little spot
3:25
usually got about the right elevation
3:28
and you know have to have some
3:33
undergrowth that's been cleared either
3:35
due to a fire something allows these
3:39
huckleberry bushes to to grow and thrive
3:42
but
3:46
you know you buy them down in the valley
3:49
and it's like you know 12 15 bucks a
3:54
pound so definitely kind of worth it to
3:57
get them up here and have the experience
4:00
of picking your own and being up here in
4:03
the mountains very nice nice day in
4:07
August can't beat it
