BLP Updates
Update 1
BLP is working deep in the backcountry within the FRANK CHURCH RIVER OF NO RETURN WILDERNESS. They are performing heavy trailwork on a trail NYC has been part of for years. They will be bucking out big logs, building new reroutes, brushing, installing drain, building cribbing, retaining walls, turnpikes, and generally moving big rocks to make the trail they are on BOMBER, because that what we do here at NYC!!
Update 2
Still Hanging in the RIVER OF NO RETURN WILDERNESS - indefinitely. I’m sure they are loving life with a serious backcountry experience in the enormous wilderness. Keep on doing what you are doing BLP; it’s a great place to be.
Update 3
BLP: Still rocking it hardcore style, BLP is working in the RIVER OF NO RETURN WILDERNESS for ALL 5 weeks on the Monumental Creek Trail. They have been doing just about everything we do to trail, from bucking out big logs (crosscuts, pulaskis), installing tread support, lots of drains, widening trail, brushing out the trail corridor, cleaning up scree slopes, re-routes (thats NEW trail – to the uninitiated), cribbing, retaining, you name it, on a number of trails, not just Monumental Creek
Graduation Information
Lewiston Round-up Grounds
2100 Tammany Creek Road
Lewiston, ID 83501
From rt. 12 in Lewiston:
Take “Thain Grade” (Heading up the Hill)
Keep going uphill. “Thain Grade” will turn into “Thain Rd.”
You’ll pass Wal-mart on your left. The hill finally somewhat levels out.
The road will change names into “14th St”, then “Ripon Ave”, Then “Barr St” as it twists and turns.
And finally “Tammany Creek Rd”.
It’s important to not OVERTHINK the route. Basically, if you get yourself onto “Thain Grade” and just keep going the way it takes you (w eventual jogs in the road to the left and the right), you’ll run right into the Round Up Grounds, outside of Lewiston, on your right.
From the turn off from rt 12, IT’S ABOUT 6 MILES to the round up grounds.
Follow the NYC signs when you get to the grounds.
