Alison Boggs, one of my favorite writers still left at the Spokesman Review, has a great piece on formalizing a trail system between Spirit Lake and Mt. Spokane. This is an awesome idea. Better yet, the Spirit Lake community is viewing the projects as an economic development initiative. Right on. One question: How can we help?

I know not everyone reads the Spokesman as closely as I do so I thought I would present this link about a large new outdoor competition to be held at Farragut State Park in North Idaho. The article says the event, to be called, Adventure Sports Week, will take place from June 5-14. Alison Boggs wrote the piece. You may recall that Boggs has written numerous outdoor pieces for SR in the past and also was one of the organizers behind the late lamented Skirts and Dirt women’s mountain bike event also at Farragut. The coolest thing about the event is that it will have an XTERRA off-road tri qualifying race. Click here to read our piece about local XTERRA athlete Brandyn Roark Gray from 2007.
