One heard had one of those big white dogs. It barked and came within 100' then went back to the heard. The second was tended by two very sweet border collies. I was more concerned with a pack of coyoties attacking the sheep while I hiked by. On coyote came right at me then veered at about 30'. My hiking poles would have been useless.</font></font></p>

weigh up to <BR>140 pounds, frequently startle passing travelers with their aggressive, <BR>snarling approach. Raising hiking poles as a defensive measure does not <BR>help; on the contrary, it is more likely to prompt an attack. (Don't <BR>throw rocks at the dogs or run away from them, either.) At least one <BR>long-distance hiker was bitten and needed medical care, and one local <BR>hiker now carries a loaded gun when she goes out for a hike. The Forest <BR>Service is aware of the problem and is requiring ranchers to keep their <BR>sheep herds at least a quarter-mile from the CDT. Anyone who has an <BR>unpleasant encounter with the large white dogs should report the <BR>incident to the San Juan National Forest's Columbine Ranger District <BR>(which has an office in Silverton).

Since we
are<BR>not going to publish a new MT mapbook until early next summer, I have<BR>provided replacement maps online. To download the new maps, go to<BR>www.bearcreeksurvey.com and take the Map Updates link. Use these instead of<BR>Mapbook maps 7 and 8. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>If you are wondering what the Bearcreek maps look like, here is a chance to<BR>see a sample without incurring any cost. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>A few waypoints have also changed, but if you have already set up your gps<BR>for Montana, I would suggest not worrying too much about that right now.<BR>The new trail is reported to be easy to follow. Just remember that it<BR>leaves the old route at Mile 2.0 and rejoins it at Mile 9.0. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>The new waypoint file has been added to the zip file on the website. It is<BR>called MT2014New.gpx Use it instead of MT2014B.gpx<BR><BR> <BR><BR>best wishes,<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Jerry Brown<BR><BR>mailto:<a
