TPAC SUPPORTS SENATE CANDIDATE WINNERS

Pro-Trail Senate Candidates Win in Key States

Dear Trail Voter,

Here is a quick overview of yesterday's primary results. In two key battleground states, it appears that TPAC supported Denny Rehberg (MT -R) and Heather Wilson (NM - R) won their respective primaries and will go on to vie for the chance to win in November so they can vote Harry Reid out of his position as Senate Majority Leader where he continues to block House bills that seek to address public land access issues.

Although CA is not a battleground state, Congressional Candidate Dan Lungren (CD-7) won the primary and got a significant majority of the total vote in CA's new "open primary" where the top two contestants (regardless of party) go onto face each other in November. As you may remember, Lungren attended and spoke at the 2012 Hangtown MX (which was in his District). It appears he picked up some off-road votes there.

As TPAC focuses its resources primarily at our 7-8 key battleground senate races in AZ, MI, MN, MT, NV, WI, and VA, it will also look at supporting a few key House races where a pro-trail candidate is in a tight contest.

Your donations will be important to help TPAC support those key races in our national strategy to elect a pro-trail majority in the U.S. Senate and to help keep a pro-trail majority in the House of Representatives.

MEGA FIRE GENERATION IS HERE!

WELCOME TO THE (UNNECESSARY) MEGA-FIRE GENERATION Living with Wildfire By Del Albright, Retired Fire Chief (NOTE: originally published in 2020, but the situation has gotten worse instead of better. I offer this up again so we can all be part of a better and safer future). 25-30 years ago, a 10,000 – 15,000-acre fire was a huge conflagration. Now, we regularly experience 100,000 - 400,000-acre fires. I would like to offer an explanation based on over 30 years of government service, including 26 years with the fire service, and on my beginning my fire career with a Master’s Degree founded in Prescribed Burning. NO! It is not just global warming (climate change). NO! It is not understaffed or ill-trained firefighters. NO! It is not Mamma Nature getting even with our urban sprawl. NO! It is not careless campers or hunters. NO! It is not kids with matches. YES! It is a combination of many things, but mo...

Four E's of Protecting Access

Proven Formula to Protect Access and Save Trails By Del Albright Saving (and sustaining) a trail system, protecting access and keeping our off-pavement motorsports alive and well boils down to a proven formula: Engineering, Education, Enlisting and Enforcement. In the simplest of terms, that means 1) design it right; 2) let people know the rules and how to help; 3) get involvement from as many and varied users as you can; and 4) use trail patrols and if needed, law enforcement officers to ensure the rules are followed. I am borrowing from the fire service all over the country with their fire prevention programs that rely on the three E's -- Engineering, Education and Enforcement. In fire prevention, you design (engineer) a building, house or sub-division in such a way as to minimize the chances of fire. You then educate folks about preventing fires with signs, letters, commercials, school programs and whatever it takes. Then, if that doesn't work, yo...
