Dinner and Auction
Thursday, February 23th. 6:00PM to 9:00PM, 427 N 6th Ave, Senior Activity Center, Pocatello. There is no charge for dinner. It is a good time to pay your dues for this year. The Funds raised by the auction will be used for holsters that will hold a hand trimmer and a lopper for trail clearing.
To get ready for the auction, we need everyone to search their closets, garages, sheds, etc. We will take any donation that has value for our "Western Way of Life," or that is related to outdoor activities and is in usable shape. No matter how big or small your donation is, please bring it to the auction between 5:00 and 6:00 PM, or call Steve Hurley at (208) 221-4626.

In 2018 the Portneuf River Back Country Horsemen donated 459 hours of their time improving the riding experience of horsemen in East Idaho. We worked on 188 miles of trails and the total value of our efforts is calculated at $30,800!
On Saturday morning, meet at 10AM at the visitor center in Almo.
I have the Junipers Group Campsite rented on Friday night and I can't get my money back so I will be there. If you would like a more relaxed Saturday, come down and camp with me on Friday. RSVP if you are going to camp since cell phone coverage at the camp is very poor and the camp is not easy to find.
Steve Hurley 221-4626 steve@hurleystar.com. Be sure to download this brochure. It has a lot of information on getting there, and where everything is located. https://trailmaps.us/City_of_Rocks (brochure is also on our "East Idaho Trail Maps" page.) Also note that I am taking the Over the Hill Gang to City of Rocks next Wednesday. The weather is supposed to be better. Call me if you might want to go on that ride. The Over the Hill Gang is a gated horse club and will generally travel faster.

I am excited about showing members this area. It is a notable geologic site as well as a landmark along the California Trail. Over the last few decades City of Rocks has become a mecca for rock climbing.
Temperature will be cool (low 60s) and the wind will be Breezy (11 mph). Later in the morning and during the ride, the sky will be partly cloudy, there will be a 60% chance of precipitation, with some light rain likely. Overall better than Friday if you are making a last minute decision whether or not to go on Saturday.
Next Tuesday at 4:30 PM Jolynn Angle's Sweet Talk Ranch, 7727 W Katsilometes Rd., Pocatello, Idaho 83204 This is sort of last minute YOU MUST RSVP either to sent email, sent text or call Jolynn (208) 604-2302 by Sunday night that you are coming so that there will be enough vaccinations on hand. We will assume you want 4Way, Strep, Rhino and W Nile. If you want Potomac please indicate. Cost for first four on list is $77. Bring check or money. Not sure the cost of Potomac.
Happy Trails To You Until we Meet Again
There are two ways Back Country Horsemen of America raises money to lobby in Washington. One is our local dues, and the second is a raffle. Any money we raise with events, our chapter keeps to buy trail equipment, pay operating expenses and to send delegates to the State meeting. Please pay your yearly dues and please buy a calendar. You can pay dues and buy calendars on the PAY HERE tab above.
