8:00 AM at what google maps calls the 'Skookum Flats Trailhead', it is the southern Skookum Flats trailhead, not the northern, take the right turn to Buck Creek campground and it is the almost immediate left turn after you cross the White River. National Forest or Federal Pass might be required (I can't remember if there is a privy).
