• The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) will be holding a series of listening sessions across the state of Idaho to develop a plan on how to improve and enhance OHV recreation opportunities managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is part of an ongoing partnership between NOHVCC and the BLM, with Idaho being the sixth state that this process has been carried out in – We asked for a shelter at Hemingway Butte for events that can be reserved and rented.

Web Master: Micke Barnes – Tech Updates –

Each time one scans the IOR code a form needs to be completed in order to capture accurate information. Micke tried to do a work around to avoid filling out the form each time, but it does not work so going forward each time you scan the code members will need to fill out the information.
