[cdt-l] Fleecers Relocations

[Jim Wolf]

We are pleased that the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest has decided 
to defer a route selection from Mule Ranch west to the Anaconda-Pintler 
Wilderness. The original proposal, which would have retained much of the 
road walk to Lower Seymour Lake, was unsatisfactory. The selection of 
the existing American Creek route (instead of a circuitous route, with 
PODs, along the eastern boundary of the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management 
Area), is also to be applauded. We nevertheless submitted an appeal of 
the decision because of its unsatisfactory treatment (or disregard) of 
certain motorized/nonmotorized issues. After discussions with the Forest 
Service, and its agreement to take specified remedial actions, we have 
withdrawn the appeal. For additional information, see the What's New 
section on www.cdtsociety.org
