If you travel by plane you might want to read this web page on commercial air travel with firearms: Guns and Planes.

If you are coming from the Seattle area go east on I-90 to Vantage. DO NOT CONTINUE ON I-90 TO SPOKANE! At Vantage take Washington State route 26 east to Colfax. From Colfax go south on US 195 towards Lewiston (and Moscow/Pullman). US 195 will become US 95 and take you to Lewiston. If you are going on to Orofino from Lewiston, get on east bound US 12 and follow it to Orofino.

Directions to Cavendish from most of the online maps such as Yahoo and Expedia will get you lost. Do not used them. You can use them to get to Orofino, Moscow, or Lewiston. From there use the directions below.

From either Lewiston or Moscow go east and follow signs to Kendrick. Once in Kendrick, continue on through town to the northeast (when coming in from Moscow take a left when you hit town). Watch for signs to Southwick, Dworshak Dam, and Cavendish. Shortly after you leave Kendrick the main road takes a slight left up a hill, you take the right turn toward Southwick, etc. on P1. Then another 0.3 miles or so and you need to take another right (continuing on P1) across a bridge and up a steep hill. After you go a mile or so past Southwick the mile markers on P1 will start counting down, instead of up, when you enter into Clearwater County. At the south end of Cavendish is mile marker 10, at the junction of P1 and "Middle Road". Take a left (east) and follow "Middle Road" for about 2.5 miles (it makes a short jog to the south, don't sweat it, just stay on the main road) to Meridian Road. Turn right (south) on this gravel road and go about 0.5 miles to the driveway type road on the right. Take the right. About 200 yards ahead on your left will be the parking area.

Please stay on the road until you get as close as you can to the parking area! I take some heat when people use the hay field as a road.

Follow the directions above to South Road. From there go east 1.9 miles to a gravel road on your left. Boomershoot Mecca is 750 yards north on this narrow road.
From South Road it will look something like this:

Either walk from the road up the hill to the shipping container among the tree or if the dirt road across the field is passable take that. Park in the grass on the north side (away from South Road) of the trees.
