New Big Hole Road Faces Winter Dilemma
County commissioners hear Big Hole district road report from Supervisor Calvert. Snow depths reach about 18 inches in French Gulch and Ble Hole valley. The new road from Ralton to the junction with the Neff ranch is impassable through Neff land, forcing travel via county road. Officials weigh keeping the old road open with forest service help, while the new route may be abandoned after winter if not sustained. About 11,000 head of beef cattle in the Big Hole feeding pool are typically driven to Anaconda for shipment.
