Important info. on Portal/Hyalite

bobback · Nov 17, 2009

I copied and pasted this info. from a CBU update...

The 2700 acre area in Portal Creek that will be left open for snowmobile use is heavy timber and provides no opportunity for off trail riding. If you or your family used portions of the Hyalite Porcupine Bullalo Horn Wilderness Study area for snowmobiling prior to 1977, call the Gallatin Supervisor's office to inform them of this fact. If you have documentation of pre 1977 use of this area, please provide this information to the FS and CBU would appreciate a copy.

Thanks for the info on this. I don't spend anytime up there because I never know if its going to be open or closed. Its a real bummer. If anyone needs more information on whats going on go to this link in the Land use forum

I think this season might be the last straw that broke the camels back.
We need to organize some protest rides....we talk about doing one but it never happens.

Protest ride would be fun. I think we need to meet at the Forest Service building here in Bozeman before we head out. We need to fill there parking lot with trucks and trailers full of sleds and have everyone inside asking where we can go up hyalite.

Remember we need to protect this land for future generations. My Question is what the hell will the future generations be able to do on it.... Not much just like the present generation.

Has anyone seen a map that is better than this one

http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/gallatin/data/news/2009/interim_management_strategy_announced_for_wilderness_study_area_-_map_11-13-2009.pdf.pdf

Looking at that map and seeing were Windy Pass is sure makes me think that the normal riding area of Portal (up the big hill and over to the cabin) is open. Isn't Windy Pass pretty much were the cabin is? And isn't Eaglehead Mountain were the radio tower is, which looks like a boundry? Looking at the current 2008 map its doesn't look like much is cut off except the Rock Creek access.

Hard to tell but I'm hoping a new map will clarify?

If the normal area is not open, that just plain sucks balls. A huge loss, probably even a bigger loss then Hyalite.

Yeah the back broke already...im so sick of this wilderness bull$hit....I think we all should ride where we have always ridden...I am....

It is just insane how the feds think they "own" the land...sorry charlie,public land means public use....and im going to use it.

How many of you that are complaining voted for a Democrat? A vote for a Democrat is a vote for land closure! We need to make sure all of our sledding friends know this and vote accordingly.
