Stillwater Trail Clearing – May 4, 2016
A few of us have been able to sneak away during the week to clear trail. This past Wednesday Jim & Romeo Anderson, Jody Seylor, Mary Sybrant, and Robin Morris cleared over 11 1/2 miles of the Stillwater Trail, and logged 22.28 miles! During the 10 hours spent on the trail we cleared quite a few larger logs and lopped a ton of smaller overhead and in the trail shrubs and trees. We left a few larger (but crossable) downed logs that will need to be cleared; as well as several “widow-makers”.

Quennenbaugh Meadow Culvert Project – June 11-12, 2016
Our Chapter headed to Quennenbaugh Meadow, up the West Fork of Rock Creek out of Red Lodge. Our task? To remove some “no longer needed” culverts for the Forest Service. We had a great turn out – 14 volunteers, that formed into three teams. Several of the heavier culverts had to be cut with the torch and carefully packed and loaded. The team was amazing ~ very proud of this group of volunteers. Several opted to camp at the meadow, while others headed back to the trail head for the night. All of the culverts were back to the trail head before dark, so those that stayed, took the time to slap each other on the back for a job well done and to relax by the fire. On Sunday, a smaller crew rode back to the meadows to pack out the remaining equipment and tools used for the project, while others opted for a ride to Timberline.
