The Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation manager Christopher Floyd brought an opportunity regarding Backcounty Discovery Routes (BDR) to the attention of the Bighorn Basin Outdoor Recreation Collaborative (BBORC) at a recent meeting. The proposed route includes a portion of Big Horn County.
BDR is a non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. They have introduced a new route with free GPS tracks for the community every year since 2010.
Floyd noted that BDR has maps for the surrounding states of Idaho, Colorado and Utah but nothing for Wyoming. He feels this is a great economic development opportunity for Wyoming and Big Horn County.

Executive Council OKs $90k grant get office up and running
January 26, 2021
Well over a year after its approval, it looks like the Office of Outdoor Recreation will finally be getting the funding to get down to business.
The office, which was formed to support development of New Hampshire’s tourism economy, was created as part of the state budget that was passed in 2019, but no state funding was appropriated to support it. Instead, the office was left to seeking out federal funding in order to operate.
After months of trying, the officials of the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, of which the new agency is a part, were able to obtain a $391,666 grant from the federally supported Northern Border Regional Commission. The Executive Council voted to accept the funding at its Jan. 20 meeting. The last hurdle for the new office is the Legislative Fiscal Committee, which also must approve the grant.

Within the last few months, Utah lawmakers have climbed aboard the popular train wreck of devaluing scientific expertise. A recent expose by The Salt Lake Tribune revealed that they allowed the nonhealth experts at the Governorâs Office of Management and Budget (GOMB) to steam roll our health experts in crafting the stateâs nonsensical, nonscientific and largely failed pandemic response.
