A delegation of Horse Prairie ranchers asked the county Board of Commissioners to restore priority to the Armstead-Salmon road, protesting a April decision shifting priority to the Dillon-Jackson route. The group cited feasibility and better all weather access, noting the Dillon-Jackson path would also bring tourists near Bannack, a state monument.
