CALIF 4WD ASSOC HAS EVENTS IN YOUR AREA Support the sport by attending events in your state. By Del Albright, Life Member One of the best ways to support your sport, make sure we have a sport in the future, and get some wheeling in at the same time is to attend events in your state association, in this case the Calif. 4Wheel Drive Association (www.cal4wheel.com). Cal4Wheel has several events run by dedicated volunteers who work hard to help the Association grow.  Do your part by attending those you can fit in.  It's another way of doing the main things that keep our sport alive:  Join, Donate and Volunteer.  In this case, volunteer your time and rig for a fun weekend on the trails around great people.

JOIN those groups that support your activtites if you expect to keep them alive the way you like things.

We have to join, donate, volunteer and be part of keeping what we love to do alive and well. Start with a national group for your activities; include Regional and State Associations and groups. But JOIN and do what your time allows to be part of the solution. For example, for the price of my phone I could have purchased a full year membership in all these outfits: ...

By Del Albright In the words of Don Amador:  It was a really great trip back to Washington D.C. this week with BRC counsel, Paul Turcke. The trip was to educate Congress, the USFS, BLM, Dept. of Interior DOI, and Administration about the important role that recreation has as an economic driver and the need for their support of “boots on the ground” recreation staff, etc.  Lots of very good meetings with agency, congress, and admin. Also, got to visit with our counterparts at the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), and ARRA.  (Picture is of me and Terry Heslin at the BLM office on M street – Terry and I were surprised to see each other at the BLM HQ. As many of you know, Terry helped start the OHV program at Stonyford, CA – before Applegate – and then moved over to the BLM where he has proved h...
