Frontiers advertised conservation project for the LeadVille trail will happen Sept 6^th. The project will be o­n Saturday leaving WhiteHouse camp ground (North of Butte) at 10 PM.

For those who want to camp (WhiteHouse camp ground) we will probably take some short trips Saturday night and or Sunday morning.

We will be doing some light brushing of the trail and surveying future erosion work that needs to be done to keep the trail in good shape.

With current fire danger we will need to be very careful. We are still under stage 2 restrictions, no camp fires, no chain saws after 1 PM, smoking in vehicles o­nly etc.

We could still cancel this project with short notice so please stay in touch with Frontier.
Call 406-458-9755 , 406-442-7749 or E-mail dgordon315@aol.com for directions of more information.

Just a reminder, the club meeting is tonight.

Change of venue for this month - 7pm at the Helena High Cafeteria on Montana, across from Smith's.

We should be back to Mountain West next month..

Our thanks to Allison for arranging the meeting location.

Due to a scheduling conflict at Mountain West, we had to change our meeting location this month (and next).

The meeting will be Wed, March 5th, at the Helena High Library, and we'll try to get started at 6:30 since we have a guest from the Forest Service.

For those that didn't have the extreme priviledge of attending HHS, it's on Montana Avenue, across the street from the Smiths Grocery Store.

We'd like to thank everyone for helping make the M4x4A Winter Baja 2003 a success. We had some racers, some spectators, and an overabundance of snow.

The race results are:

We had a large turnout for our annual Christmas Tree run on December 7th. Many thanks to Dennis LaTulip and Loretta Kelly for providing yummy chili and to everyone else who graciously shared their treats. Our Christmas party on December 13th was also a huge success. Thanks to the Burnside's for opening up their home for the party and to Dennis LaTulip for cooking the meat. Great food, conversation and laughter.
