U.S. Forest Service District Ranger Mark Foster appeared before the Big Horn County commissioners at their Jan. 2 meeting. Commission Chair Bruce Jolley was not in attendance.
Joining Foster and the commissioners was County Engineer Willie Bridges. Deputy County Attorney Jen Kirk, Clerk Lori Smallwood and Sheriff Ken Blackburn.
Foster said he was there to discuss Forest Service Road 12 near the Medicine Wheel. Foster said that at the Medicine Wheel consulting party meeting in December, concerns from some of the parties and from the USFS seasonal staff were discussed.
For background purposes Foster noted that FS Road 12 is a multipurpose road and a walking path for those visiting the Wheel. The motor vehicle travel has increased significantly over the years. He credits this to the growth of recreational tourism.
