August Newsletter

We held our club meeting on August 2nd at the Trails Restaurant.

We covered our Treasurer report and bills to be paid and was approved.

The only correspondence we have had is fire update emails from IDL. A reminder to be careful on the trails as everything is very dry. Make sure to have an axe, shovel, and bucket with you.

Milner Trail update (commissioners meeting), Thank you to all that showed up at Whitebird Station and Adams Camp for the meeting on August 7th. The commissioners then had their regular meeting on the 8th at the courthouse and after hearing more testimony from the public, made their decision. They held 2 votes. 1st – they voted to close the trail to the public at both Whitebird Station and Adams Camp and it passed. 2nd – they voted to vacate both sections with 2 caveats, that (A): they could get a legal workaround from the Forest Service for both locations and (B): that Adams Camp will have legal access for all property owners inside of Adams Camp and it passed as well.

*Falls Point Ride August 26th– After some discussion we decided to postpone this ride till a later date. (The trail is in bad shape and fire crews are staging nearby) A possible alternative ride would be Anderson Butte ride
