- Travel Plan update: Idaho Pathfinders have been asked to sit in on two meeting One was to go over what we proposed and why. And the other was to sit in on negations. The first meeting only last about an hour. We went over all the trails/area’s and reasoning why we want them opened up earlier then June ??. The second meeting was to go over seasonal closures, tails of all kind, and the big topic Meadow creek. If you remember, several years ago we met with Brad Smith on the Idaho Conservation League to go over options on Meadow Creek. This was a meeting that the Forest Service asked several of the user groups to get together and talk over. We were the only one that showed up to talk to ICL. Some of the ideas were brought out at this meeting.
The Forest Service will be making some of the decision between now and Middle of July. Between now and then, They have asked us to send in some of the work data on the trails. They are looking at when did we go in, what did we see while working, and what condition was the trail in at that time.
