Just wanted to share with all of the folks in Washington that like to visit Idaho to ride and especially those that like to visit the McCall area.
There has been a lawsuit filed against the Payette and Boise National Forests over their Over Snow Vehicle (OSV) travel plan. This would have serious consequences if not dealt with. Please go to the "NEWS" link on the header of this page and read the article about "Snowmobiling Under Attack in Idaho".

I have attached a file that contains this article. It contains an update if anyone would like to assist in the fight.
This is one lawsuit that encompasses 3 different National Forests, in Idaho and Wyoming. Whoever fights for one, fights for all three. Please consider donating to the Idaho State Snowmobile Association's Legal Fund. It is going to take a lot of $ to defend our areas.

If we lose on this lawsuit, all other national forests will have to follow suit and they will be closed to snowmobiling except for what trails they will allow us on. There will be no need for a "mountain sled", just a "trail sled".
The Idaho State Snowmobile Association, http://www.idahosnow.org/ ,has updated their website and now has a PayPal Account to their "Sled Warrior" legal fund. You can find the link halfway down the homepage. 100% of all funds in this account is used for legal fees. We have a huge battle ahead of us and any donation would be appreciated. Please share this with your riding buddies.

Payette Winter Travel Map Removal ?!?!?

This is the latest in the "never ending saga" of the winter travel plan law suit. "https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/payette/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD566803"
You need to go to this link which will take you to the Payette National Forest website. It pertains to the removal of the existing winter travel plan map due to the "intent to sue" by the preservationists. This effects the travel map for the McCall area and north.
Will be curious to see what/how the new order states the new intent and view the new map.
