BMP: Bill has met with some big rock crawlers for advice on our course and how we should finish it up. As it is the course will be pretty tough if you have open diffs, but if you have lockers and a good spotter you should do fine, but you will scrape diffs or rockers. Each run has 10 minutes to complete during competition.
FFOR: Ed talked about the Ride to the Slide, trail ride to Meeteesee, free camping, at 10 there’s a parade. There will be an ATV rodeo at the fair grounds as well. Today was the last day for the Gallatin travel plan, but they’re looking for extension. We need to all get involved because a year from now we could have far fewer places to go.
An area of the little belts has a large closure that has been said to be “final” by the ranger in Great Falls.
