West Fork of the Brownlee

Trail #266

The West Brownlee Creek project brings closure to the 2012 season of work projects for the SBBCHI and a sad farewell to a valuable partner, Mike Mullin, Payette National Forest West Zone Recreation contact. Mike has accepted a transfer to Lincoln Montana: “… Lincoln is very close to my wife’s family and I love the area due to its proximity to the Bob Marshall wilderness complex so I couldn’t resist applying when a position came open.” We will miss Mike’s enthusiasm and dedication to partnering with our Chapter’s mission of keeping America’s trails open. However, we are happy for Mike and his family and look forward to making contact with the new PNF liaison, Jascha Zeitlin.

It’s time to hit the trail and leave the sad news behind! Mike made arrangements to send Ryan, one of his crew, to assist us with the trail work on Saturday, September 22nd. Ryan would meet us at the trailhead by 9:00 AM. It’s a good thing too – otherwise, I would have gone the wrong direction at the creek and cleared the wrong trail! I really need to look into doing something about my navigational skills..or lack of.
