"The Montana Wilderness Association, Prickly Pear Land Trust, and the Helena Bike Club are putting on a pair of trail workdays on the Continental divide Trail north of Butte, Saturday and Sunday, Sept, 13 and 14. They have contacted IMBA and have an IMBA Trail Care Crew participating also. The Montana Mountain bike Alliance needs to put up a strong presence. Basically, the MWA and the Helena Club do not take us seriously. We need to put on a show of force. Our plan is to just go there for the Saturday session, but to show up in a big way.
It will help if participants sign up on the Prickly Pear Land trust website. Then they will have enough trail tools on hand. Also the Back Country Horseman are feeding us afterwards on Saturday, so by signing up they get a head count of workers.
This trail is being built as a result of the High Divide Agreement between Helena, Butte, and Anaconda bikers and the Montana Wilderness Association. The work area is up above Basin, MT. Exit 156 on I-15. 9 miles up Basin Creek road #172. ¾ mile past Winters Camp turn left on road #8513. Follow this for 4 miles to Joe Bowers Trailhead. I hope there is signage to assist us. A presentation by the IMBA trail crew is scheduled at 10 am."
