Protect the Breaks

When thinking of the Missouri River Breaks National Monument I am reminded of the words of historian Bud Moore:

"the trail is a place where we can recapture the spirit of Ancient and Historic Peoples. It's several treads wind across a variety of once natural ecosystems. And each of us can go there and see for better or for worse the effects on the land of the more
recent occupation and human use.We can learn from that and apply those lessons in future stewardship.

... There is life in the trail so
let's hang onto that life,
hold close to nature and
walk softly as we rediscover and protect its spirit. That
way what remains of the trail can always whisper where we have been and who we are and what we might become."

Moore was referring to the
Lolo part of the Lewis and Clark trail, but his words also apply to the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. The BLM needs to know that American people feel the spirit of the trail
there. Let the Bureau know that we continue to value and care about this historic and cultural treasure.
