January has come and gone and it
is time to start thinking about
events for this month. Last month,
Reda Trumbo and her committee put together a
great Holiday Party for our Club. I am sorry
that Geri and I missed it, but family issues led
us back to Oklahoma City for that weekend.
Thank-you Reda and your group for your
efforts!
Charles Leipart
Our desert will be a little cleaner this
month thanks to Bruce Spiers and the volunteers who will take
the time on Feb. 25th to remove debris from the area. It is hard
to believe that people are so careless and thoughtless as to
trash our landscape. Thanks goes to Dennis Callaghan, our Run
Chairman, for his work in handing out shirts to those Club
Members who led runs last year. Also, thanks to the members
who led runs and to those who took steps to become run leaders.
As we look to this month, keep in mind that our annual garage
sale will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
February 18, 19 and 20th at Craig and Karen McGowan‟s
residence located at 3174 North El Dorado. Please help by
donating items for this sale and also by donating your time to
help set up, price and work the sale. The money we make from
this event helps us donate to trail preservation activities, local
charities and our Club.
February is also when we will be looking for members to step up
and take the reins as officers for the 2010-2011 year. There are
so many talented people in our group with so much to offer, why
not step up and take the plunge and let one of the following know
that you are willing to serve: Curt Frilot, Nomination
Committee Chairman or one of the Committee Members, Tom
Fulmer, Chuck Guibord, Diana Delk or Lou Ann Rawls.
If you applied for and received a State Land Permit last year,
this might be a good time to check to see when it needs to be
renewed.
Remember Valentine‟s Day is February 14 (as well as Statehood
Day for Arizona), so in closing, Happy Trails to You.

Ram Peak/Scott’s Well
12/29/2009
F
or second time in 10 days we did Ram Peak,
it was a cold morning when 10 jeeps met at
Terrible‟s to begin the run. No-one on the
run had done it before so it was a new experience for
everyone. We aired down at Franconia Road, while we
where airing down a search and rescue team stopped
and said someone was lost in the area, there was a
command center trailer and several other vehicles. At
first they were going to hold us up but decided to let us
go and to keep our eyes open for anyone out there and
to call 911 if we saw anyone, which we didn't. It proves
you shouldn't go in the desert alone.

NOHVCC CREATES VIDEOS TO
HELP RIDERS PROTECT TRAILS
The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council
(NOHVCC) has created a Public Land Advocacy Video
Workshop series with help from Yamaha Motor Corp.,
U.S.A. via their OHV Access Initiative, the Motorcycle
Industry Council (MIC), the Specialty Vehicle Institute of
American (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway
Vehicle Association (ROHVA). The workshops are
designed to give riders the skills they‟ll need to keep trails
open in their areas; covering everything who the
enthusiasts are, planning a trail system, writing effective
comments, moving forward from route designation, and
much more.
The trip down Franconia Road was smooth but dusty,
once on the trail to Scott‟s Well the dust went away
and it began to warm up, the rest of the trip went
well with no problems. Everyone enjoyed the trip to
Scott‟s Well which is a narrow trail with some rocks
and a small squeeze, from there we went across the
desert to our lunch spot then on to Ram Peak. There
were alot of oohs and aahs making our way to the
summit as the trip up there is fun and scenic. We
ended the run at Havasu Heights where we aired up.
The series consists of 14 easy to watch sessions ranging
from 15 to 30 minutes each. The content is based on
NOHVCC‟s successful onsite workshop sessions with
NOHVCC topic experts. The sessions are designed to give
the people who can‟t participate in an on-site workshop or
a webinar the tools they need to help keep their trails open.
Thanks to everyone for coming and a big thanks to Sue
and Chuck Guibord for tailgunning.
Mike Yahrmarkt, Trail Boss
Russ Ehnes, Executive Director of the NOHVCC said
“These are tight economic times and we need to take
advantage of technology to help riders get the information
they need. This program is helping us reach thousands of
OHV activists and riders who otherwise wouldn‟t have a
chance to take part in a NOHVCC workshop. This may be
one of the best tools that we have created so far for not only
the enthusiast‟s toolbox, but for program managers as
well.”
The workshop modules were developed in cooperation with
the American Motorcyclist Association, BlueRibbon
Coalition, Motorcycle Industry Council, Off-Road Business
Association, Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, and
United Four Wheel Drive Associations.

Monthly
Report
Safety Committee “Trail Talk”
Safety Rant of the Month –
“FIRE! Save the Love of Your Life!”
It’s that time of the year again
as we Havasu 4 Wheelers air up
sleeping tires and dust off the
equipment. One item of critical
importance is your club required
serviceable fire extinguisher. A
year of off roading and rattling
around can pack down its load of
dry chemical power into a solid
rock. And it will and does
happen. Now that you have a brick of dry chemical
that won’t come out of the extinguisher’s nozzle if you
ever need it, what to do? Don’t call 9-1-1 - just
grab a soft rubber mallet and gently tap the sides of
the extinguisher as you turn it in your hand. This is
also the proper time to look at its inspection tag to
determine if it is also due for recharging service.
Does the gauge show “in the green”? No problemo,
there are fire extinguisher service companies right
here in Havasu. So do the right thing and make this a
mandatory part of your seasonal preparation.
How’s it work?
Pull pin,
Aim low at the base of the fire,
Squeeze the handle,
Sweep the stream from side to side
J
im Bowen, accompanied by Darryld Kautzmann
and Bruce Speirs, met with Amanda Dodson, the
local BLM geologist, to discuss continuing the
very successful mine shaft safety fencing project. Several
very dangerous and very accessible mine shaft openings
still pose grave threats to overly curious desert explorers.
We agreed to conduct two survey missions in early
February and then schedule the work based on our
findings. As always the great volunteer spirit of our H4W
members will ensure this season‟s project will be
successful. Standby for announcements on future dates
and locations.
The BLM also inquired if we would like to assist with
”interpretative” efforts for some very significant but
unmarked and threatened Indian ruins and artifacts
areas. These efforts will consist of placing signage, some
fencing, and possibly other protective features. This
initial discussion will be followed up in late February
with more details. Again volunteers will be requested for
this work which should prove to involve some fascinating
areas and materials.
Jim Bowen, Chairman
Dry chemicals discharged from multipurpose (ABC)
extinguishers are corrosive so clean it off everything
(or what’s left).

Gold Springs Run
A
Jan. 13, 2010
great time was had by all 12 Jeeps! We left
the kiosk in Standard Wash and took a dust
free trip (thanks to the recent rains) up by
the Manitowoc Mine to where we joined “Hawks Nest
Trail”. No one had any trouble with the fun rock and
boulder “navigating” on the trail. Lunch was in a
beautiful wide spot in a wash before “Butch‟s Bump”.
After lunch, a few minutes of excitement were had by all
of us, as the run leader did a perfect demonstration of
what can go wrong if you do not have a spotter and take
the “wrong line” up “Butch‟s Bump waterfalls”. As he
stood his Jeep on it‟s right corner and laid it on it‟s right
side—at least a dozen people sprang into action to
“help”—they all ran forward with cameras to capture
the moment! The leader was able to winch himself
upright and up the falls with amazingly—no damage—
except to his pride!
We then made our way across the top of “The Maze
trail” and then over to the last part of “Rattler Trail”
where we had 3 members practice using their winches to
climb up “Black Falls” while the rest of us watched.
If was a fun and interesting, and educational day!
Thanks Cal Bowman for tail-gunning!
Jim Bowen, Trail Boss
Gold Springs Run
The Rest of the Story
O
As they entered the Maze and approached Butch‟s Bump,
the Trail Boss mentioned that he had climbed this falls 40+
times and had successfully spotted hundreds of jeeps over
it. While he studied his line, he stated, “this falls can be
done without lockers” and he proceeded to demonstrate.
Carefully he eased his jeep up the falls, when it started to
lift and bounce several times. He backed off and tried
again, a second and then third time, with resulting lifting
and bouncing. Still unable to complete the climb he said
“I am going to try to the left” Possibly a bit frustrated
with 12 jeeps watching, he forgot the center of the original
line had washed out and left a bowl. As he started up the
new line, still without lockers, or spotter, the jeep behind
yelled on the CB,” don‟t do it”. With the rear wheel now
in the bowl and foot on the gas, the jeep suddenly stood on
its spare tire and started over. Sliding slightly to its right,
the front flair caught on a rock ledge and held the jeep
in an upright position, stopping it from going completely
over.
Members of the group ran forward to help, many with
cameras. Quickly a strap was attached to hold the
vehicle from slipping. A jeep took the go around and the
Trail Boss‟s winch was attached. Gently he winched
himself to the waterfall surface and crawled over.
Inspection showed no glass or body damage. Both the
driver and passenger (on his first ever jeep ride) were
unharmed.
Despite the Trail Boss‟s claim that this was a planned and
carefully orchestrated, safe demonstration of what not to
do, the group on the spot, unanimously nominated him
for the cowbell. All remaining jeeps were then
successfully spotted up the waterfall.
Following the demonstration, the group continued, with
three jeeps winching Black Falls. The run concluded near
the Scenic turn out, with all jeeps, drivers and passengers
intact.
n Wednesday, January 13, the Trail Boss held
a driver‟s meeting for 12 jeeps at Standard
Wash. “Safety first”, he stressed, “fun second”.
He went on to emphasize “should anyone have a
problem, stop immediately and ask for help, we won‟t
make fun of you. Should your jeep start jumping or
lifting, immediately back off. If you are unable to climb a
waterfall or obstruction after several tries, put on your
lockers, ask for a spotter, or go around.”
Written for Trail Boss Jim Bowen
By run participant, Darryld Kautzmann
The group proceeded onto the early part of Gold
Springs, a portion of the trail developed by Dennis
Kreuzenstein. At the first falls, the Trail Boss & several
jeeps attempted the climb, but were unable to clear their
front bumpers. One jeep was high enough & easily
crawled up & over. Another cleared the front, but did
not have the additional transmission fluid to pull the jeep
over the edge. Wisely the group detoured.
Moving on, the run passed through Hawk‟s Nest with
one strapping, but no other problems.

onday, January 25th, eight jeeps left the
scenic turnout and headed south, across the
dam and north on the power line road in
California. Upon turning east, down Whipple Wash we
found the wash almost unrecognizable due to the recent
heavy rain. Lots of trees and boulders rearranged and
still a small, steady trickle of water. The rearrangement of
the terrain made what was formerly a 3.0 level run into at
least a 3.5. Nice going trail boss! In spite of finding a
much higher level of difficulty than anticipated, all did
very well. We did a little strapping and helped each other
so that it was a great run and a good learning experience
for many, including the trail boss who learned new
respect for mother nature.

January 25, 2010
2 is always an interesting and scenic run.
Many say it is the most scenic run close to
LHC as far as mountains and vista are
concerned. With the recent rains a quickly scheduled run
was planned to take advantage of the possibility of water
running down the stream bed used to approach the base
of the climb up “K2 Trail”. The trip out Standard Wash
and up over the “Back of Crossman trail” was beautiful
and dustless thanks to the recent rains. The trip up K2
was made after lunch at the corral. To our
disappointment there was no “running water” to drive
through. Instead, mother nature left a few damp spots,
and re-arranged many of the rocks! The views from up
top were spectacular as usual with views all the way from
Parker Dam to Bullhead to Kingman area. The trip
down and out to Havasu Heights went with out any
problems. Thanks Don Flood for tail-gunning.
Please remember to shop at Basha’s & earn dollars that will be
used for the H4W’s Community Service projects.
How it works: Basha’s will assign a 5-digit identification number to
your Basha’s Thank You Card and donate one percent of the total

RATING
DESCRIPTION
1
EASIEST: Passable by stock vehicles. Gentle fairly wide grades.
2
EASY: Use of 2 wheel and some 4-wheel drive. Trail may have some rocks, loose road surface, and ruts but a reasonable line for driving.
3
EASIEST MODERATE: 4-wheel drive with aggressive tire treads. Expect a rough road with rocks and sand that requires lower tire pressure.
Substantial sections of single lane.
3¼
MODERATE: Same as above with some use of high and low range gearing. These trails have a rough, rutted surface, rocks and deep sand.
Sections may be steep enough to cause traction problems, narrow shelf roads with steep drop-offs and tight clearance between rocks.
3½
HARDER MODERATE: 33” tires with aggressive tire tread, one locked differential, high and low range gearing. For experienced drivers.
Potentially dangerous, large rocks, ruts, steep slopes, loose surface and narrow clearances that need to be negotiated.
3¾
HARDEST MODERATE: Same as above with both differentials locked, Some strapping/winching. Skilled, experienced drivers only. Very
challenging sections, extremely steep grades, loose surfaces, large rocks, deep ruts and tight clearances.
4
DIFFICULT: Same as above with belly up, 4:1 transfer case or equivalent, skid plates, beefed up axles and suspension system. Probable
strapping/winching. Vehicle width and wheelbase should be considered. Highly skilled experienced drivers only. Possible body damage.
5
HARD: All of the above. Probable body damage.
