KOH, Land Use and Off-Road Adventures -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "King of the Hammers, A Land Use Perspective" hit this current issue of Off-Road Adventures Magazine, p. 78, with a great shot of the Land Use Panel, and the cleanup effort that took place. The KOH folks kicked it during this entire event, with their attention and enthusiasm for landuse, cleanup, safety and keeping our sport alive.  Their recycling program with CA4WDC was hugely successful as well. The land use panel (John Stewart, Bebe Theisen and Todd Ockert and I) got great coverage, as well as plenty of kudos and credit to Motorsports Fabrication Services (MFS) and Travis Carpenter, the land use buggy hero. Oh, yea, Kurtuleas (Kurt Schnieder) is mentioned too. (SMILE). Kurt, you be da man for coming up with the AWESOME ideas. You can read the mag online here: http://www.offroadadventures.com/ Awesome. Thank you ,ORA (and 4 Wheel Parts), Del

Klim USA and Blue Ribbon Coalition Team Up to Preserve Motorized Access to Public Lands 5/19/2010 Rigby, ID (May 19th, 2010) Nate Blaylock announced today that the two Idaho based entities will partner this summer to increase membership in the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) and to drive involvement in the public lands debate. "Klim has long held a concern for the preservation of trails and riding areas." said Mr. Blaylock. "Power-sport enthusiasts do not destroy, they enjoy. The tempo of land use closures have dramatically increased in the last year. We are concerned, but not dismayed. We are determined to do our part." The BlueRibbon Coalition has admirably fought for recreational access to public land since 1987. With members in all 50 states and its headquarters just 60 miles south of Klim in Pocatello, Idaho, the nonprofit organization has represented the OHV enthusiast in significant national battles and often come away with important victories for the industry.

Jeep Beach is just getting a good start and the hotel is filling up, the beach is alive, meetings are happening, fun is everywhere, and the future looks pretty darn bright around these parts around the famous Daytona Beach, FL..  We've already hooked up with some of the initial group for a kick off dinner at Hooters in Daytona Beach.  We've picked up a donated car from the great folks at Daytona Dodge (Auto Mall).  We've had several  meetings with vendors and friends, and the BlueRibbon Coalition name is getting around fast.  Oh, did I mention that we managed to also photograph a few gators from an airboat on the St. John's River near Christmas, Florida, just south of Daytona Beach. Also, I hear the raffle here at Jeep Beach is over $20k (that's not official, but it's still growing).  Sweet. My hat is already off to the organizers (Mid-Florida Jeep Club) of this event.  Nice.  We already have some new business members to BRC, and we're hoping for ...
