TAP TOUR GOES TO PANAMINT VALLEY DAYS

CAL4WHEEL PUTS ON PANAMINT VALLEY DAYS IN DEATH VALLEY

The Trail Access Partnership Tour (TAPT) is headed for Panamint Valley Days tomorrow, thru the weekend.  Should be a great time and full of landuse talk, now with the elections over.
Panamint Valley is a stand-alone valley just west of Death Valley, CA.

Martin's Auto Service, our repair shop and friend from Reno, NV, will be joining us for the PVD event.  Marty (of Martin's) is a great guy who knows cars (and jeeps).


We will be doing trails with the great folks from CA4WDC who organize PVD for all of us to enjoy.  Camp fire sessions will be full of landuse and access talks.


T&T CUSTOMS is a key component of our TAP Tour this year and we are traveling together on this entire adventure.  They fully support landuse and access, and will be joining evening sessions of landuse talks.  Be sure to check them out at:

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...
