Dear Friend,

The U.S. Forest Service Cle Elum Ranger District will be starting planning and analysis for the following trail-
related projects in 2011 and 2012: Blewett Pass Sno-Park expansion Bean Basin Trail Reroute

I’m interested in any thoughts you may have on any of these.  You may find maps and descriptions at www.
cleelumtrails.com. Click on the banner near the top of the front page, or you may contact Trails Manager
Tim Foss for hard-copy maps.  I’d like to know if you think the project is a good idea.  Would it help or
hinder your use of the area? Do you have other ideas on how to improve the situation?  Any comments you
may have are helpful.    You can send your thoughts to  Tim Foss here at Cle Elum Ranger Station, 803 W.
Second St., Cle Elum, Wa. 98922, or e-mail tfoss@fs.fed.us.  It would be most helpful if we could hear from
you by January15, 2011.  PLEASE NOTE:  This is the last hard-copy scoping letter you will receive unless
you specifically request to stay on the paper mailing list.   All scoping hereafter will be done via e-mail, so if
you’re not certain we have your e-mail address, please send it to tfoss@fs.fed.us. Thanks in advance for
your time.
