IX. Land Use – Christian Dahlstrom spoke about Closure of Shaw Mt Road due to run off erosion. Wilderness Studies Near Stanley. Locked & Loaded (Baker City, OR club) used a group called FAFA to win a case, which was going to restrict public/wilderness land use.
X. State Association: Nathan White not in attendance.
• What do you expect/Want from the State Association? It’s ultimately our association, so do members want Grants? Runs? Events? More specific land use?
• There is some Federal Grant money that we can use for trail maintenance. They are kicking around ideas, like maybe fixing all the side by side bypasses on Tiddie Springs & Lost Trail.
• The 2nd date for Salmon/Challis/Frank Church Expansion comment period has not been set yet, but should be soon.
• Ride & Rally: helmets will be required for Barrel Racing, Thursday night on-site check in if people are there, $50 for registration includes two dinners and one shirt, extra stuff can be purchased online (like the Rocket Run), $60 for non State Association members, but that extra $10 buys them their membership.
• North Idaho Trailblazers are looking at joining the State Association. They used to be part of PNW but recently left; have 45 members in their club. They sound very organized and active and would be great to get into the Association. A group of 10-12 will be coming down to recreate with us in May, so be on the lookout.
• Danskin Closure
