[Canyon] RY - Lazy J sale of Bangtails, Battle Ridge dogs

[Tom Fiddaman]

Hi neighbors -

 

Jenny Grossenbacher spent the night at the Battle Ridge trailhead and
reclaimed her adventurous dogs at 3am, under a glorious starry sky.

 

Here's a big piece of news that we first heard from Deb Stratford - of
course.

 

The Lazy J ranch has purchased all, or nearly all, of the RY Timber holdings
in the Bangtails - reportedly about 17,000 acres. RY acquired these about 20
years ago in the Gallatin Land Exchange, aka the Bangtail Swap.

 

I've mapped the sections involved in the two deeds I could find in green
(see below). It seems like one or two are missing - it's possible there's
yet another deed I missed. The Lazy J occupies the heart of the canyon,
roughly between the straightaway and Flaming Arrow.

 

Because the deal has only recently been completed, Lazy J has not announced
what its intentions are. The Bangtail divide trail, because it is an
easement, will remain open as will any existing right of ways or easements
to reach forest service land. That is really all that is certain right now.

 

Tom (with help from the BCPOA board)
