This is from Mike Georgeson, MTVRA and Rim Rock trail Rider member in Billings.
I spoke with Frank Cifala, Gallatin National Forest Recreational Manager - Big Timber, today and he made some interesting comments.
1) 95% of all comments to date are against motorized recreation in the Gallatin.(need I say more?)
Hello all, want to do a trail ride/maybe a Chilli Run on 3 NOV.
Want to go the back way into Hughesville, if it isn't snowed in by then. If it is, we'll find someplace to go up near there.
Will meet at the Loft (above Big R on 10th) at 8am if you want to eat and 9am to leave. Drop me a line at cc4x4@hotmail.com if you have any questions or plan on joining.

Hello Everyone,
I am requesting assistance for comments in response to the
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Plan. The Midwest 4 Wheel Drive
Association and Wisconsin 4 Wheel Drive Association need your help getting
the word out about this plan, and need everyone to write a letter in
support of maintaining all existing access to public lands and designate
additional trails for four wheel drive use. These comments and letters need
to be sent to the Park Falls Supervisors Office by October 31st, 2002.
THE SOUTHWEST FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOUR HELP!
_TPWinter is quickly approaching and so are the prime four wheeling days.

Things have been fun over here. We've been scouting around for new areas to go. Some of these places have been interesting and fun spots. Last month we found a spot that offered a great trail ride to get to this one area, then it was a heavenly delight! you had a good hill climb, some rough roads, and places to play some 4X4 games. Then, to top it off, there was a big mud hole to play in. For added beauty, there was a creek just beyond the trees that was a back drop for our pot luck lunch. One drawback, it takes about one hour of highway driving to get there.
_TPThe Frontier 4x4 Club arranged to have our monthly trail ride on May 2nd, 1998.
We met at County Market on Montana and Custer at 9am on Saturday morning. Most of us walked over to McDonalds for a little breakfast.. Mike Kelly drove. :-)
_TPThe Frontier 4-Wheelers have been busy since our last writing...
