How can I preserve this National Historic Landamark if you dont partisipate?

Maybe the Forest Service was right an no one cares?

When one stands alone, it makes stuff more difficult.

Yer welcome!

My father went to Forestry school in ND, and taught me to appreciate nature.

Then what does he do? Goes and becomes a Speech and Theater professor! Doesn't mean he forgot what he learned though- never understood why he didn't pursue a carrer in Forestry.

Thats cool G/R,

Dear E/W Amy -

This quiz is in no way - shape or form mandatory.
You will not be ejected from Baywind Farm if you do not volenteer.

Volenteers appear from the choices they make.
WE can not make volenteers do anything or else they wold not no longer be volenteers would they be?

Thank you for your help.

Happy Trails- :cowboy:

He,he! Thanks! Open book quizzes are good for me- by the time I get done digging to find the answers, and then write them down, I have at least a prayer of remembering most of what I found, lol!

[mtnmollie]

Who?

2) Who was Bird - Truax? What date?
They build the Bird- Truax trail.
(New name for the Lolo trail - first re- name it before you de-value it.)
What date? No one knows how old the trail is- it is always moving.

3) Who cut a 10 - 12 foot lane in the timber? When? Can it still be seen today?
Chris Jenkins - I can' t even find the trail. There is a lane too? How wide?
Erica- Where is the trail? No one can find it.
Steve Armstrong- Its a Single path.
Milo McLeod- its a braided path- what lane?
Karl Roenke- There is trail tread all the way acros the forest- with a lane in places.
I dont know how the lane got there. How old is that lane? Who can say?
I only had two years to work on 150 miles of trail. Milo got 2 years to study just 30 miles. I do my best with what I have.
