The
intent of this page is to inform you of the history of
work done by Panhandle Back Country Horsemen (PBCH)
on the St Joe, and other areas, over the past twenty-one
years. One of the mission statements of the Back Country
Horsemen
of
America as well as local chapters is "to assist the
various government and private agencies in their maintenance
and management of
said resources", and it is with this goal in mind that
we have made the St. Joe an emphasis area for our local chapter.

July 30th Weed Spray
Project
Marie Cr Trail
On
Wednesday, July 30th, in cooperation with the Coeur d’ Alene River Ranger District, the Panhandle Back
Country Horsemen sprayed a portion of the Marie Cr Trail
that we haven’t gotten to before.
Karen and Jim Kimball, plus Bernie Lionberger, along with
Bonnie Thompson and Meagan Bircher of the Forest Service
started the project around 8 AM and completed it shortly
after noon.
We sprayed approximately 5
miles of trail for several species of noxious weeds.
Karen led the packhorse with
the spray unit, while Jim spotted and pulled a bunch
of weeds.
I led a packhorse with extra
water that we needed
at the completion of our route.
Bonnie Thompson did
the actual spraying at which she is very proficient.
Our new spray unit worked well with a few adjustments
by our technician, Jim Kimball.
At some point in the future, we hope to have the entire
Marie Cr loop trail free of weeds. We have seen great improvement
in the past few years.

Lionberger's new mule, "Tinker". |
We had about 12 riders, one came late (Tom Johnston), so he
just rode around the trail and checked our work!!, there were
amazingly few trees to cut, probably a total of 25 cuts, we
started at 6 AM with George Miller putting two more folks through
saw certification (Gene Bruce and Jerry Shriner), followed
at 9 AM by dividing into 2 groups and going around the trail
in opposite directions, we were done by about 2:30 PM. The
participants: Gene Bruce, Karen and Jim Kimball, George Miller,
Jerry and Diane Shriner, Gary and Vanessa Edwards, Jeff Jussila,
Lyn Nale, Tom Johnston, and Bernie and Sherri Lionberger.
