	We were on the official, signed trail (as long as it existed), running
from the Big Hole Pass on the Montana/Idaho border towards Twin Lakes,
Montana. Our intent was to survey the existing trail and the
cross-country route after the trail's end, so both official and
proposed, but we only followed the route and didn't do any blazing. We
used USGS maps and I brought along a copy of Jim Wolf's '79 guidebook. 

	Anyone interested in my report at the time, it's in the archives at
http://www.backcountry.net/arch/cdt/01/msg00242.html. 

	I've since spoken with the folks in our team who attempted to head
south to north from Twin Lakes, and they never succeeded in connecting
up with the section of trail we were on. One thing both organizations
/do/ agree on is that there's a lot of work left to do...
