WHITEHALL, MONT., April 14, 2006—Four options for a road and trail system in the 185,700-acre “Whitetail-Pipestone” area, northeast of Butte, are examined in a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) just released by the Forest Service for public comment.

The area is in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, between Butte, Whitehall, Basin, and Boulder.

[ed: Read below where they plan to close over two hundred miles of roads. I believe in Alternative 4(the Preferred on) is where this will happen and that they are the smaller two track roads we prefer.]

To those attending 2006 Convention in Billings:

The Map printed in the Forum isn't an acurate description of the directions to get to the Elks Lodge on Lewis Ave. If you're unfamiliar with Billings, the map will most certainly get you lost. Here is a more detailed map with the directions from the "South Billings Blvd" interstate Exit #447 to the elks lodge - the path is highlighted in Purple.

Hope to see you there!
