A little more to think about
Not a lot of folks in the sledding community seem to concerned about Ms. Baker. CBU sent out some info this summer with very little response. So... lets take a look at a little bit of the Baker/MWA Agenda.
"....wilderness is part of why we live here and our quality
of life depends on [its] protection.” Tim Baker
[Tim] Baker lists five areas that include parcels that are the focus of
current broad-based efforts: (taken from Pyramid Mountain Lumber's web page)
• The Pioneers—a remote, wildlife-rich mountain range
northwest of Dillon in southwest Montana, offering critical
headwaters for some of Montana’s most famous blue-ribbon
fisheries.
• The Rocky Mountain Front—a vast, wild landscape
between designated wilderness and U.S. Highways 89 and
287 to the west and east and the Marias Pass and Rogers Pass
to the north and south, home to 290 wildlife species and the
source of some of the region’s premier opportunities to hunt
and fish.
• Scotchman Peaks—a quiet, rugged area spanning the
Idaho-Montana border approximately 60 miles south of
Canada, rich in local picnic sites, hiking trails, wildlife and
wildflowers.
• The Great Burn—a large untamed expanse between Idaho
and Montana near Missoula, providing opportunities for
one of the state’s largest population centers to experience
pristine subalpine lands radically reshaped by fires and their
aftermath.
• The Upper Blackfoot, which offers the opportunity for a
large addition to northwest Montana’s famous Bob Marshall/
Scapegoat/Mission Mountains Wilderness complex.
