What the Wise Man Said About Jeep Tickets

By Del Albright, Sustainable Motorized Recreation Advocate

Once Upon A Time…

"My fingers were ragged from climbing a jagged mountain peak, only to find a wise, old man sitting there, legs crossed, deep in thought.

“Old man,” I said, “what are you doing here and so absorbed in concentration?”

“Son,” he mumbled, “it’s the tickets.”

“Tickets,” I exclaimed, “what the heck are you talking about?”

“How many Win-A-Jeep tickets should I buy? This will be a good year,” he decreed.

I asked, “What’s so great about these tickets and this Jeep?”

“Well,” he slowly explained, “even if I don’t win, I’m helping this great outfit save trails and keep roads open. But if I do win, I can get the heck off this mountain!”

That did it right there. I scrambled down that mountain, found a WiFi hot spot, logged in, and bought my share of tickets.

You should do the same!

The End.

Now the rest of the story. This will be a fantastic build with adventure written all over it. And the time is right now. You can get tickets before the build is even done, but you won't regret it. It's always a great vehicle. If tickets are not yet up, just keep checking back. Get yours at http://www.cal4wheel.com/win

Thanks for helping us keep our four-wheeling sports and alive and our trails open.

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...
