BCHI Special Project - Friday/Saturday/Sunday, June 25/26/27 - I just talked with Ian Barlow, NezPerce NF, the road to Whitewater Ranch to access the Churchill Trail is not in good condition. The contractor has been delayed due to all the wet weather. A new project has been scheduled for the same days June 25-27 in the Gospel Hump Wilderness on Trail #313, the Rag Station Trail. Ian Barlow will still be there to train with some heavy rock moving. Work will be on the first two miles of the trail unless Slate Creek is low enough to ford. This trail is about a one hour drive from Grangeville, ID on Road #221. Drive to the east end of main street and turn right on RD 221. This is a paved road to the turn off to Moore's Station. The turn off is about one mile past the road to Adams Camp on your right and is a gravel road. In about 2 miles you will come to the trailhead for Trail # 313. There is a loading ramp and a hitchrail at the trailhead. If you can not make all three days, come for what you can. Everyone is responsible for there own meals. Please pass this on to any of your people that were planing on attending as this is a short notice change. For more information, call Ian Barlow at  work 208-839-2135, or leave a message on his cell phone 208-816-6385 and he will try and get back to you.

heads south to middle fork road.  The Idaho City ranger indicates there are some Hunting camps in this area on

both sides of the road suitable for Horse camping.  Terry MacDonald has indicated he is going, so look for his rig,
