STATE OF
WASHINGTON
RECREATION AND
CONSERVATION
OFFICE
State Wants Your
Thoughts about
Recreation in Washington
OLYMPIA – The Washington State
Recreation
and
Conservation
Office is hosting a series of online
public meetings to get people’s
thoughts about the future of outdoor
recreation in Washington.
The online forum will gather the
public’s input about the demand
for outdoor recreation, what people
want to see in their parks and on
their trails, what prevents people
from recreating outdoors and the
quality of their experiences when
they do.
To participate in the online public
meetings, visit www.scorpwa.wo
rdpress.com. You can participate
at any time of day. The meeting
will start with a series of questions
about commercialization of parks,
and new questions will be added
regularly. The first series of
questions asks people what they
think about allowing advertising
or corporate naming rights in our
public parks. It also asks if parks
should allow businesses, such
as small grocery stores or gift
shops. It asks whether new types
of recreation, such as zip lines,
should be part of our public parks.
And finally, it asks whether wireless
Internet access should be allowed
in public parks.
“These are thought provoking
questions that are facing our
recreational professionals every
day,” said Kaleen Cottingham,
director of the Recreation and
Conservation office. “We don’t
know the answers and we want to
find out what people really want
their outdoor experiences to be
like.”
The Recreation and Conservation
Office is hosting the online
meetings as part of its revision
to the state’s strategic plan for
outdoor recreation. The state’s plan
needs to be updated every 5 years
to keep Washington eligible for
federal funding through the Land
and Water Conservation Fund.
The Recreation and Conservation
Office uses the federal dollars
for grants to local communities to
build parks and trails, and conserve
wildlife habitat.

Lakeside, CA - Approaching 13
years on the web, 4x4Wire.com has
launched a revamped look with an
increased focus on the issues that
affect 4x4 (and off-road) recreation.
The ‘Wire now features integration
with other noted websites tracking
a variety of issues facing recreation
opportunity
on
public
lands.
With the shift in state and federal
policy and declining budgets, access
to public lands is under threat. That
threat provides an opportunity to work
with the various land management
agencies to keep trails open.
The revamped 4x4Wire is a move to
increase the awareness within the
recreation community of the threats
and opportunities.
4x4Wire and its companion sites,
4x4Voice and MUIRNet.net, feature
a wealth of information ranging from
how to organize a club to how to
write comment letters for agency
management plans to economic
analysis of recreation and much more.

them for your landuse needs and

PNW4WDA Region 4’s
“ P i c k U p A M o u n t a i n”
Report and photos by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures
Every year on the third weekend of September, Region 4 of the Pacific
Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association holds a big event at Jim Sprick
Park to pick up trash in the surrounding mountains of the Naches
Drainage.
Olympic 4x4 Supply has 'stepped up to the plate' EACH year of PUAM
by supporting us, donating as well as selling us items at a reduced rate
because they believe in the PNW4WDA as a whole.
People started setting up camp Thursday afternoon and by Friday night
the park was packed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday September 15th, 2012 the day started with a driver's meeting at
8 AM. Naches Ranger Irene Davidson came out to talk with us before we
headed out into the mountains. There were many fires in the area and
we needed to be out of the way of he fire crews. She also wanted us to
report any fires we saw as we were out.
Here are some photos of the 2012 Pick Up A Mountain:
Getting ready for Saturday morning drivers meeting.
After the drivers meeting we took a group photo of the rigs and headed
out.
Our group Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch (a division of Eastern
Washington Adventures) headed up FS1701 which is across the road
from Jim Sprick Park. We stopped at the intersection of FS1701 & FS530
to clean up the camps. Next we ran to the end of FS1701 and turned up
4W694. We picked up trash along the way. We took a lunch break at the
Manastash View Point. After lunch we continued on 4W694. We drive
around Funny Rocks since other were there. At 4W695 we turned up it
and stopped to pick up trash at Moon Rocks. Next we headed down
4W695 and turned back onto FS1701. We normally run FS530 up to
Bald Mountain and take 4W675 down but there looked to be a fire near
4W675. This year we just ran FS1701 back down.
In the afternoon they had games for the Junior Jeepers.
In the evening they had the Corn Shucking Contest. Joleene Vessey won
the Corn Shucking Contest the second year in a row.
Naches Ranger Irene Davidson came out to talk with us before we
headed out into the mountains.
After all the corn was shucked and cooked, they had a potluck dinner.
Pollock's Rears and Gears donated the pork for Pulled Pork.
Around 6 PM the raffle started. There were many great raffle prizes. After
the raffle the DJ donated by Build-It Offroad played music and some
danced.
On Sunday Region 4 had a free breakfast for the volunteers. Our group
Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch (a division of Eastern Washington
Adventures) cooked breakfast. Some of our members bought in some
extras: 10 pounds of bacon donated by Jerry's Valley Meats via Doug
Palmer. A lot of Eggs donated by Steve & Rose Haverfield. Fruit donated
by Terry & Missy Muffett.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PUAM Director Pam Remley along with PNW4WDA Region 4 wants to
thank all who helped make this event work, thank you to all the
volunteers that picked up trash and thank you to all that donated.

events are totally produced and carried
out by volunteers who spend their
spare quarters and dimes and spare
minutes presenting world class trail
events for PNW members and others
who enjoy our public lands. Think
about spending some of your time
with us as we work with the agencies
to keep available these and other
events. It is a sure thing if you don’t it
will become a much smaller three ring
circus. They have a plan and that is to
remove ever motor off of your public
lands forever and ever.
2012’s Summer Convention (4x4
racing events to the new guys) was
awesome as you mark your calendars
hold time out in August for the races
as a racer or spectator. This year the
young generation is taking the lead
and putting their efforts into holding the
event; it looks to be an exciting weekend for racers and spectators. I have
my rig in process as I write and I hope I
see you there. Thank you Future FourWheelers for putting on this event for
2013.
Oregon Dunes’ comment period has
been extended to January 24th. I hope
you sent your thoughts and comments
to the Siuslaw NF for recording. The
issue here (in the vegetation around
and in the ODNRADRP) is closing trails
and open dunes as the wind changes
the dunes. The dunes are being driven
inward which changes the area to ride
continuously. Unlike the past these
new play area are in green vegetation
planted by man to stop the eroding
sand which is not working as the new
play areas are in evidence. The second
issue is the Siuslaw National Forest in
all alternatives decrease the dune
area for riding and drivers when we
have increased hundred times fold just
does not make since. Yes build or sign
existing trails but leave every square
inch open possible. The sand is moving
into and out of the vegetation so the
new area has to be included as open
riding area. You can do this on line or
in the mail. E-mail your comment (s) to
[email protected].
Comments
are not complete without your full
name, address and leave your phone
number. This is our right to use public
lands which have been set aside
Today is the shortest day and the end
of the world and I hope there will be
more daylight and a world left as you
read this. December marks the end of
another year and the counting of new
days to a fresh start with 2013 upon
us. Floods, fires, firearms, four wheel
drivers wanting for trails are behinds us
and a new future is full of opportunities
in 2013. I and all my friends are pretty
tired of lemonade made from the
proverbial lemons that have been
handed us in 2012 from public land
mangers... But, ‘never tire of doing
good’ echoes in my head and I place
one footstep in front of another and I
will go on. 2013 will be a good year to
change the outcome of the past years.
Wheeling into the future would be a
good motto to adapt.
specifically for OHVs use.
There will be plenty more decisions
that need commenting on as the New
Year ticks on. The sage grouse is
going to take a big chunk of attention
from environmentalist and agency
alike. If they are allowed to have their
way millions of acres will become road
less. Many decisions on our public
lands have been postponed until a
decision and policy comes down on the
prairie chicken in question. Be it frog,
owl or bird we as citizens of America;
utilizing motorized vehicles stand to
lose ground. Standing united with
comments to public elected officials
and the agency decision makers will
slow the above mentioned gears.
Now is not the time to become weary
my friends and colleagues. Much
headway has been made and we do
have some proof of our hard work.
Oregon’s OHV maps include 5 new
areas of difficult to extreme 4 wheeling.
Washington’s land managers continue
to know PNW 4-Wheelers will not go
away and are willing to put their efforts
where their hearts are. Idaho is filling
with clubs they may not be PNW
but they are actively addressing the
Future four- wheelers and Class II
vehicle use is the reason I continue
in my position in the Pacific Northwest
4 Wheel Drive Association. You can
call them whatever you wish including
grandchildren that show little interest in
the back seat of my jeep or any outdoor
recreation without AC/DC power. Still
the access we enjoy is a precious
commodity and I am unwilling to give
the ‘right’ away without some effort on
my part to curtail the anti-access gears
as they mow over my public lands
powered by big pockets, closed minds
and litigations behind our backs and
under the table. Public lands belong to
all Americans; particularly the largest
user group which is motorized use
whether for work or pleasure.
So the NEW YEAR Baby is here and
waking up to some stark realities;
made to grow up to soon and get
right to work. How’s your schedule
for 2013? Please consider setting
aside your spare time now for the great
events this organization has to offer.
From Washington – Oregon and Idaho
we still have some awesome public
lands open and some great events are
in the planning occurring due to the
PNW memberships making it happen.
Washington’s Jamboree and Oregon’s
Creek n Trail and Idaho’s Cabin Fever
are just three fun events that help
support the cause and also provide
wonderful opportunities for friendships
to be made or strengthened. These

closure issues we all face.
Unity is a key word for all of us.
We must combine our efforts with
other associations’ efforts and other
recreationalists for a future of use in
our public lands. I don’t mean we must
join them or water down our messages
and efforts. I mean we must stay
informed and armed with pen and
pencil or 4 wheel drive and shovels to
help when we can with comment and
sweat equity. There are all sorts of 4
wheel drive vehicles with all sorts of
aspirations on recreation and work. We
have to be seen at public meetings and
not be afraid to ask for what we want:
access to our heritage and traditions
of back roads, campfires and our
continued use of public lands.
How do environmentalists look at the
world? I can assure you it is without
you or your kind on public lands. How
do we look to the world? It is the right of
Americans to use public lands for work
or recreating in a motorized vehicle.
The PNW needs people to stand up
and demand their rights like a soaring
Eagle not like a cur Coyote slinking
around, just out of sight. Americas
need to see and hear you like an eagle
in the clear sky. Slinking around in the
shadows will never achieve Class II
trails for you today or the future to use.
Come out into the bright sunshine and
plan your runs and events with lots of
fanfare and horn honking. The world
needs to see you on trails and in play
areas not in the dark of night abusing
our hard fought trails and play areas.
Winters in the Northwest are very
unpredictable and can change very
quickly. Are you going out into the
public lands with your tires and your
tanks filled? Are your motors purring,
checked and ready for a day on public
lands?
Take your sport seriously
enough to be ready for whatever nature
has for you planned or unplanned.
Tires with tread on them that will go the
mile you ask them to without digging
holes or leaving you stranded with flat
tires. Do you go out with friends so
you aren’t a statistic or a Search and
Rescue nightmare? Are you dressed
for the occasion; don’t think you’ll get
by with sneakers in a snow storm or flip
flops changing tires and winching stuck
friends. I am pretty proud of our record
as far as accidents while wheeling
go. Safety is a big issue to me and
should be to you. How’s your fire
extinguisher? Do you have the basic
tools you need for you or your friends
breakdown? I know you all know all
this and more but please take the ‘New
Year’ as a opportunity to tune up your
safety and relaxation habits. Let’s all
have more of both in 2013.
It is winter and time for snow wheeling.
Come join us or another PNW club for
lots of clean fun. Snowmobile’s trails
are off limits and don’t forget they enjoy
snow as much as we do but prefer it
without Class II tracks. Sharing is
good and we need them as motorized
friends using public lands.

program will help us as we continue to move forward. Due to contractual obligations we had to wait until January 1st,
2011 to start contacting vendors. We have had a wonderful response and I look forward to presenting our sponsors so
far at Winter Convention. Listed below are the four levels of sponsorship. If you or someone you know is interested
please call the phone number listed below.
