Cloud Peak BCH has been around since 1991.  We are a chapter of a State & National BCH organization.  We have about 35 family memberships (mostly couples) and several singles. 

Originally we were almost all Buffalo residents, but in the last couple of years we have had a shift towards Sheridan.  Currently, we try to alternate our meetings between the towns.  Our Sheridan membership tends to be younger & more active. 

Primarily, we are a service organization - working with the Forest Service to clear, maintain, and repair trails.  CPBCH built & maintains the Elgin Park Trailhead and the trails around it.

One of our summer projects is to work with the WY Conservation Corp.  Some of our members are going to pack in their gear & supplies for them to rebuild the Florence Pass Trail.  It is in a bad way and one fellow lost a mule this summer & could easily have lost his life when the pack mule tumbled down off the trail.

As a club, we obtained a 25-year renewable lease from the State Land Board for a piece of property that guarantees free access to horsemen for the Hole in the Wall.  In return, we maintain the property.  The landowners down there denied there was access to the Hole for horsemen without paying their huge fees - and this fall we got a sign up to show where the trailhead is.  Every year we have a club ride into the Hole in the Wall - led by Larry Durante.  It is about a 16-mile round trip ride to the top of the Hole.  There is a 20 person limit for this ride.

Other than that, we don't have regularly scheduled group outings - though many members get together in groups & ride for fun.  Most all of our members hunt & fish - but that isn't a part of our organization per se.

We are planning a ride to raise funds for St. Jude's this spring.

We sponsored a statewide BCH Rendezvous in summer 2007 & had a good turnout.  It was north of Burgess Junction & we had 72 people and horses attend.  2012 Statewide Rendezvous information.
