Angie Marek
PNW4WDA
President
June is here and everyone
is kicking into his or her busy
summer schedule. Looking
at the calendar you have
many options to keep you
busy; from work parties, to
trail runs, to competition and
much more…. If you every
find yourself asking, “What do
I get out of this Association”? ,
take a look of all that is offered
by the volunteer members of
the PNW4WDA. Almost every
weekend you can be involved
in some type of activity, you
can run trails that without our
involvement would have been
closed long ago, you can take
your family out to the races and
spend the weekend camping
and if desired competing, you
can socialize with some of the
best people on earth! So don’t
spend a lot of time asking,
“What do I get?”, spend more
time thinking “How can I get
involved?”.
At the time of this printing the
board will have completed the
June board meeting.
Due
to the busy schedules of
everyone and in an attempt
to save money we held the
board meeting by conference
call. Providing all went well
we might be able to do this
once and awhile. I think it is
important to have meetings in
person but we can also use
the technology we have to
conduct some of the others
with the use of phone and
computer.
I am fortunate
to have a great board of
elected and appointed people
supporting me as president.
They are each doing a great
job in the tasks appointed to
them. The Web Master and
his team have some ideas to
get more involvement on the
web site. You will see more
of that information coming
out in the future. So when
you get a chance log on to
PNW4WDA.org and see what
has been happening.
This past month I had the
opportunity to attend to a
couple of other club meetings.
Thank you to Good Time
Harry’s and WOW for inviting
me to attend and talk about
the PNW. If you ever have
any questions or would just
like one of the board members
to attend your meeting let us
know. Thank you also to Dan
(my husband) for going with
me, I am very fortunate in the
4
support my family, friends and
club give me.
I would love to hear from the
members of our Association.
What would you like to see
happen in the next year or
two? What goals would you
like to see accomplished?
This is your organization and
we need your input. Email me
or give me a call you can find
both contacts in the officers
section of Tri-Power.
Soon you will get your copy
of the slick magazine being
published by the PNW4WDA.
Not only will you get enjoyment
out of the history and articles
that are in the publication
but also we will be using this
as a PR tool. If you need a
copy to give someone who is
interested in our group let us
know and we will get one to
you or mail it to them.
As I sign off I want to wish
everyone a “Happy Summer”
and I hope to see you at one
of the many events that is
scheduled.
Stay safe and have fun!
Angie Marek

County roads; something we
need to reverse for the four
wheel drive owners in the
southeast corner of the state.
Comments on the Plan were
due May 25th.
The proposed Draft Western
Yacolt Burn Forest Recreation
Plan (File No.10-051001) just
released on May 10th and
is now available for public
review and comment. It is
intended to guide DNR’s
recreation management in
that area for the next ten
years. The Plan provides for
motorized and non-motorized
recreation opportunities by
expanding existing recreation
management
activities;
outlines recreation program
goals; and development of
new facilities. Comments were
directed to the SEPA Center
(State Environmental Policy
Act) and would be considered
through June 1st.

you did not know the PNW
stretches hundreds of miles to

In fact, if you paid attention to
your odometer it would almost
go 293 miles northeast of
our starting point. The PNW
runs to the farthest north and
south corners of our state, far
beyond Bend.
I have been to these places
many times in the past but to

months now and they survived
the frigid snows. Slowly they
give it back but not before the
earth at their feet is flung high
into the air, as they paw the
damp earth. It is plain in their
eyes that they would love us
to challenge them for it but we
dare not. This time, it is our
fear that allows them plenty of
time to give up the sage lands
for camping on to us. It was
only after promising them we
would not eat any of the grass
bunched so plentifully under
the junipers that they slowly
move off bellowing deeply to
one another.
With watchful eyes, we slowly
set up camp just east of Little
Glass Butte. These bulls weigh

how Mother Nature is equipped
to hide these two-tracks from
us in just eight months or less.

to travel about eleven miles
of this neat area. With the

side of Highway 20 and the
Ochoco National Forest on the
North side. Elk were viewed
on two runs and most desert
animals were seen. It is hard
to say which run was the
best as the terrain varied so
much from grasslands to old
growth forest and everything
in-between.
We saw old
rocks from before time and
obsidian of all colors, which is
very rare in the world. We saw
momentary lakes, hundreds
of acres wide with birds of all
kinds. One of these we name

birds were not swimming but

meetings will be over. The
comment period will end July

call me, as I will have attended
at least three or four of these.
Tuesday afternoon we met with
the foresters of Blue Mountains
Forest (Malheur, Umatilla and
Wallowa-Whitman
National
Forests).
Class II vehicles
were the topic of consideration
at this meeting. They need
representatives of Class II
users to work with them. They
are through the TMP and now

present were the Deschutes
County
4-Wheelers
and
Harney County High Desert
Wheelers. These two clubs
work and play well together all
over Oregon.
Monday took us to Burns
looking for parts for the YJ.
Burns is the home of the
HCHD Wheelers. Here they
have worked with the BLM and
created the first Class II trails
in this area. One of those trails
is located on Radar Hill and
is open to all OHVs. These
trails are located on very steep
runs so be prepared to have it
locked in low-range.
They are working with the BLM
on Cold Springs Road and it is
located within a wilderness at
the Steens Mountain. They
have adopted it and have
several runs a year. It is very
scenic for all and most Class II
vehicles would enjoy going on
this run. The key to the gates
is at the BLM office in Hines
and must be checked out. The
last run of the year is making
sure the gates and cabins are
locked for the winter, and it is
usually a very challenging run
even for the best-built rigs due
to snow. This is fast becoming
a favorite run for many hardcore wheelers.
They are also working to GPS
trails for the Vale BLM. For a
small and new club they have
done considerable for Class II
users of the PNW.
Tuesday morning we were
4-Wheelin’ News
comment period is due on
May 25, 2010. There will be
very little time to organize
ourselves for that comment
period but by the time the next
comment period is up that will
have changed. The meetings
for the Blues were in April and
a new club within this region
attended these. We will write
our concerns to the foresters
as we addressed them at John
Day headquarters.
Our next designation was
Mt Emily OHV Park. Many
OHVers in the know are talking
about this area. It is right out of
La Grande on Second Street.
Within minutes of purchasing
your soda at Safeway, you are
in the OHV park before the
cold has even begun to wear
off. This park is open year
around to OHVs. The great
news is it is only half done.
Class II users are creating our
trails and they do understand
the short stick and its purpose.
I think this new club is doing
some outstanding work, the
county, Oregon Park and
Recreation and the US Forest
Service will create some very
good trails for Class II with their
guidance. I just hope if they
need help joining the PNW
they truly understand we will
help. These men and women
understand four wheeling and
will make an excellent addition
to our association.
This park is on county land
with hopes of trails going
into the adjoining US Forest
Service lands. It is located
on a mountain overlooking
La Grande and the farmlands,
which can be seen from many
vistas. Do you remember the
difference between a hill and
a mountain? Like, you get
quite elevated in this park very
quickly and it is very pretty
terrain. This terrain will allow
the short stick to be engaged
most of the time particularly
during the winter months even
on the roads.
On this run, we met the sheriff
twice as he made his rounds
for the day. This is what will
make an OHV area a success.
Unfortunately, it only takes a
few yahoos to undo what we
have spent years creating.
Our next stop was at Joseph
where we spent the night.
There are not enough words
in the dictionary to describe
the drive from I- 84 to Joseph
or from I-84 to Halfway at this
time of year. It is just beautiful
and you just have to slow
down and enjoy the ride.
Just be thoughtful and let the
zoomers, zoom by and do not
hinder them.
The next morning we went to
find out about Sled Springs
OHV area. This area is
located in the WallowaWhitman Forest. At this time,
it is in court and I am unsure
what the outcome will be. It is
located about thirteen miles
from Enterprise to the north
on Hwy 3. It is a very neat
area. At this time of year,
the snowdrifts were the only
four-wheel challenge. There
are many areas here, which
could be used for mudding
and would not allow silt into a
stream. In the main proposal
for this area, Class II would
have approximately 75 miles
of shared routes.
Wildlife abounds in the area
from elk to very noisy frogs.
Whitetail deer live in these
Our last stop was the main
reason for going on this run to
Northeast Oregon. Saturday
night we camped at Virtue
Flats. It is an OHV area just
eleven miles from Baker,
Oregon. It is located on 5000
acres of Vale BLM lands. It
is an open riding area, which
means you can ride anywhere
you want. With that being said,
most of the riders stay on the
existing trails as they all lead
to somewhere exciting. If you
were to drive by this area in
a jeep, you would most likely
not stop unless you like to go
very fast as it does not look
challenging enough to slow
you dooooown.
From the highway, it looks like
short sage and gentle rolling
hills. Once you pull into the
staging area, it quickly changes.
The first Class II trail play area
we went to quickly engaged the
short stick. The YJ just likes to
show off its belly button to the
boys. True to her form, she was
up on two wheels showing off
her belly button within minutes
of engaging the short stick
at a quarter mph. From there
the YJ just disgraced us more
and more as her belly button
was seen by all not once but
probably two dozen or more
times. This place is full of little
gullies and old streambeds
that swallow up jeeps. If you
were standing sixty feet away,
you would not even see a jeep
let alone eleven jeeps just
vanishing into that short foot
high sage. The terrain of this
area will challenge all 4X4s
from beginner to built trail rig
and there is plenty to do here
for a weekend. I hope this will
become a yearly trek for us, as
it is a great four-wheeling area.
Here we met for the first time the
club we had been hearing so
much about. This club is called
North East Oregon 4-wheelers.
At this time, it has members

trees and the man predator
does not seem to bother them
much. It is possible they just
think they are very sneaky like
a cottontail and can hide by
just standing still. At any rate,
this area would make a very
good OHV area. We just hope
the forester is successful in
the lawsuit and the OHV plans
go ahead.

from all over Northeast
Oregon. Baker, La Grande,
Stanfield,
Irrigon,
Cove,
Union, Pendleton, Hermiston,
Ontario, Vale are just some of
the towns the members reside
in. It is a big area and I hope
they join our association. They
are very responsible wheelers
and we enjoyed wheeling with
them very much. Thank you
for guiding us around your
beautiful area.
This club is working hard
to make changes for Class
II vehicles in Region 5 of
the PNW. We need to do
whatever it takes to get them
into our association as quickly
as possible. They understand
if you do not involve
yourselves into the equation,
the BLM and Forests Service
alike will exclude you off
public lands. To get a hold of
this club go to there website
Links4Jeeps.com.
This was a hard trip to end
however homeward we went
with lots of new memories
of beautiful lands and new
wheeling friends. Even as
the last bit of light struggled
to hang on, darkness set in
at Picture Pass along the
John Day River. Wind Dancer
made light of the grades and
descents and like a horse
heading to the barn she was
going home. The darting deer,
elk and long eared rabbits did
little to slow her down. Unlike
her, I had a few heart moving
moments as the animals slid
into the darkness only inches
from her fragile body. It did
take a few hours of staring
into the darkness but finally
we were home. It was the end
of a very awesome eleven
day run to Northeast Oregon.
I truly hope this can become
a yearly trip for many in the
future. Four wheeling from
Bend to the farthest northeast
corner of Oregon is a worthy
adventure and never will it be
the same as the past run.

REGION REPORTS
Region 1 - A written report was submitted by Angela Holm. No questions were asked.
Region 2 - A written report was submitted by Edward Campbell. Edward said his region was having issues with width and tire size restrictions in the Evans Creek
area.
Region 3 - A written report was submitted by Kyle Wiebold. Kyle added to his report that BFG (B. F. Goodrich) had picked the Yacolt Burn as their trail of the year
and awarded them $4000. He also said that Piston’s Wild had raised $16,000 for the trail also.
Region 4 - A written report was submitted by Earl Nettnin. When the Travel Management plans open up for comment, we’d better be writing letters letting them know
what we want. This past weekend our areas of the Naches and CleElum were really hammered due to the rainy conditions and recreation areas that had been closed
on the west side of the mountains seemed to bring a lot more use; so we may be looking at seasonal closures. Earl reported he found out at the TWIG meeting
that five projects of the 2011 Title II Project Funding for the Yakima RAC grant applications had passed and one of them was Deep Creek Trailheads Relocation/
Reconstruction Planning. This on the 1808 road going to Copper City, however, the final reconstruction of the trail was not approved. They had a list of ten things and
after approving five of them they were out of money. We are not allowed to go into the area to finish the bridges this year. Back Country Horsemen are pressuring
for this because of the Horse camp at the end of the road. Juniper Dunes was discussed following a BLM meeting at the Track in Pasco. Our land Coordinator (Doug
Conner, Roamin’ Chariots) attended the meeting. He said there was a lot of discussion on gaining access, so it’s on their agenda; they know we need and want public
access to the land. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 42 owners of that private road we have to deal with.
Region 6 - Alan Paulson was not present and he did not send a written report.
Region 7 - Jeff Williams was not present and he did not send a written report.
Idaho State Report - Angie Marek reported she has been working with a motorized club to try and get something going in Idaho.
A written Club Power/We Did It report was submitted by Beth Ayer. She was not present, but a question was brought up about her idea of coming up with some kind
of special recognition for participants; something along the line of the Kathy Sterner Award but specific to Club Power/We Did It. According to our by-laws this must
be presented to the Board and passed before it can be brought to the delegation for a vote. Angie will contact Beth and discuss it with her.
A written PR report was submitted by Diana Stafford. She said that she now has packets available to hand out to prospective new clubs; thanks to Jim Putman (The
Hombres) for putting them together.
A written Safety Education report was submitted by Linda Jessen. She was not in attendance.
A written Trail Jamboree report was submitted by Sid and Kelda Hagemeier. They reported that they had just found out today that 4-Wheel Parts will not be one of
the major sponsors. A lot of discussion followed on who we might approach to be a sponsor. We need to get the word out ASAP that we need help. Carol Jensen
suggested maybe we could ask the regions to all chip in and sponsor a campership/dinner etc. Contact Sid or Kelda if you have ideas. Angie Marek said the 50th
Anniversary Banner is available for use at the Jamboree also some door prizes courtesy of the Spanaway Moonshiners. Sid said we still don’t have the permit, but
was hoping it would be coming soon.
Ways & Means did not have a written report, but Kathy (Frogg) McMains reported she will be at Trail Jamboree selling things again this year. Angie Marek said
someone in their club has made some things that are pretty nice and she will send samples to Frogg to see if they were something we might be able to sell in our
Ways & Means trailer at Jamboree.
A written Web Master report was submitted by Edward Campbell. He said if anyone says they have trouble getting signed in on the Forum ask them to call or e-mail
the Web Master.

2010 Sand Flea Rally
The 2010 Sand Flea Rally was a memorial to Sand Flea Karen Fisher who past away last August. Karen was one of the original
club members and worked on the rally every year. Most remembered her from her duties at registration.
There were 5 checkpoints—participants had to find them and then chase down two roving checkpoints. Finding the rovers
proved difficult for some. It rained a little but not enough to dampen the spirits of the participants.
The winners of the rally:
1st place: Zach Johnson
2nd place: Scott Stone
Winner of the Warn winch was Cory Glover
with Aardvark Off Road
3rd place: Jed Beghtol

COMMENT SUGGESTIONS:
The NPS must formulate a
plan that is consistent with
the legislation establishing
Cape
Hatteras
National
The enabling legislation for
the Recreational Area states,
in part, “said area shall be,
and is, established, dedicated,
and set apart as a national
seashore recreational area for
the benefit and enjoyment of
the people and shall be known
as the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Recreational Area”.
Therefore, it is important to
balance resource protection
with reasonable access for
recreation.
Corridors are a vital tool
in providing access while
managing resources. They
provide a small path around
temporary resource closures in
order to provide access to open
areas that would otherwise be
blocked. Corridors should
be permitted throughout the
seashore during the entire
breeding and nesting season
including ML-1 portions of
SMAs. These corridors would
provide
valuable
access
without impairment or damage
to protected resources.
Buffers, or closures, are
important
management
practices for species recovery.
However, to have long term
benefit for the wildlife and the
visiting public, buffers must
be based on peer-reviewed
science For example, the
Piping Plover, a species
classified as threatened and
not endangered, is given
a level of unprecedented
protection in Alternative F.
A 1,000-meter buffer in all
directions represents over 771
acres. The DEIS does not cite
any peer-reviewed science
in supporting such closure. A
more appropriate & effective
buffer would be 200 meters.
Birds that are not listed as
endangered should not be
afforded the level of protection
given to ESA (Endangered
Species
Act)
protected
species. Instead of 300-meter
buffers for these birds, a more
appropriate buffer would be
30 meters. Also, all birds in
the same ecosystem of the
seashore should be counted.
This includes all the many
birds on the dredge and spoil
islands located just yards
away and within sight of the
seashore.
The National Park Service
should
consider
turtle
management
practices
successfully used in other
federal and state areas to
achieve nesting success. More
proactive measures include
relocating nests to more
desirable locations, which
is routinely and successfully
done
in

BLM to Revise Resource Management Plan
Spokane, WA² The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Spokane District is seeking
public input as it begins revising its Resource Management Plan (RMP).
The new RMP will provide overall management direction for the next two decades for
approximately 445,000 acres of BLM-administered public lands in Eastern Washington and
in the San Juan Archipelago. One of the primary reasons that BLM is revising the RMP is
that, through a number of land exchanges, the lands managed by BLM in Washington have
dramatically changed, and total acres have increased by more than 100,000 since the
previous plan was completed in 1987. Another reason is that the demands and types of uses
on of BLM-administered public lands have changed, as have the conditions of the resources
they contain. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be developed during the
planning process.
Hurtin’Units and Columbis Basin Sand
Commandoes - Region 4 Clubs
In this first opportunity for public comment called ³VFRSLQJ´the BLM is asking the public
to help identify issues to be addressed in the plan revisions, as well as offer potential
solutions. The BLM will use the information it receives during scoping as it prepares the
Draft RMP and an associated Draft EIS.
The BLM is hosting six open house meetings to share information. The public is invited to
stop by any of the meetings listed below to discuss the RMP with BLM specialists or to

the paperwork so that we can
track our man hours. If you
have questions about how to
fill out the paperwork please
contact her. This paperwork
is very important when we
are dealing with the state
with issues if we are doing
our half on keeping our trails
maintained. These man hours
allow us to get grant funding
for projects and other items.
Naches – Dave Bauman
reported that he ran both sides
of the trail this last weekend.
There are still areas near the
top with lots of snow. Please
stand by for information when
there will be a work party.
Please note that the west side
of the trail will be closed until
July 14th.
Evens Creek- Derrick Clark
reported that there will be a
work party this weekend the
29th and 30th of May. Each
day will start at around 9:00
am. We can use all of the
help that we can get. There
is still snow about ¾ of the
way up the trail. The only trail
that is closed is the backside
of the 520.
There have
been people who have been
burning the picnic tables at the
campground, and leaving piles
of trash. IF YOU SEE THIS,
10
PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!
Abuses like these are why
we battle everyday to keep
our trail systems open. A
width restriction is now being
enforced at the trail system.
This restriction has always
been in place, but not enforced
for many years. The current
restriction really only allows
for the smaller rigs to be in
the trail system, because that
is all there was when the trail
was built. The Forest Service
Ranger at Evens is Bob
Pacific, he is willing to re-look
at the trail width restriction.
By doing this we can come
up with a suggestion as to
what a good width on this
trail would be. Another issue
coming up in the near future
will be the tire size limit. We
also need to come up with a
restriction suggestion on this
issue also. WHAT WE NEED
FROM ALL CLUBS AND
ALL MEMBERS BY NEXT
MONTH’S MEETING IS A
LIST OF YOUR MEMBERS
AND WHAT THE WIDTH OF
THEIR RIG IS, THE SIZE OF
TIRES THEY RUN, AND THE
WHEEL BASE. We will be
using this information to be
proactive in imposing our own
restrictions instead of giving
that power to the state.
Elbe Hills- Joe Wittig reported
that there will be a work
party June 5th and 6th. There
is a new rock crawl on the
Rainier Vista trail that is not
quite complete, so please be
careful. The grant for the trail
equipment is moving forward.
We should have an answer by
October.
TahuyaJohn
George
reported for Jeff Williams.
Jeff Williams will no longer
be our point of contact for this
trail system due to new job
requirements. We all thank
Jeff for all of the hard work
that he has put in for us over
the last many years. There
is logging going on right now,
and trails are being closed as
needed. The new signs are
starting to go up.
Land Matters- Jim Puttman
reported that he needs
letters written to the Naches
Trail and Wilderness Group.
This group is asking for
funding from the state for
programs that are coming up
in the wilderness area. The
deadline for getting these
letters in is July 1st. Please
visit the Region 2 forums
at www.PNW4WDA.org for
details on this letter writing
campaign. (there are about
4 pages of details and that is
too much to reproduce in this
document)
OHV Watch- Megan reported
that WOHVA now has a
Facebook page for those
of you who are web savvy,
and socially networked. The
appeal to the lawsuit for the
NOVA has been filed with the
state court of appeals District
II. At this point there is no solid
timeline as far as when we will
get a decision. Each section
of the appeal process has its
own time limit and there is no
way to tell if a certain step will
take the full amount of the time
limit or if it will go faster.
Letter writing- Angie Marek
asks that if you have written
any letters to please let her
know who you wrote letters to
and when you sent them. You
can e-mail this info to Angie at
[email protected].
Jim
Putman passed out a few
samples of letters that have
been used in the past for
letter writing. A letter does
not have to be very long, just a
paragraph. The important part
is to send the letter.
Membership- Jim Putman
reported that he has sent a
packet to the Dusty Duzen
Jeep Club. He has also given
club packets to Diana Stafford
for use at PR events.
Ways and Means- Tiffany
Morris had nothing to report.
PR- Diana Stafford reported
that there have not been
any PR events since the last
meeting. Diana also reported
that she is looking into
publications that we can use
to get positive PR.
- If you would like
your event posted to the
WOHVA web-site please
e-mail the details to Megan

- There is now
a giveaway on the PNW
Website. Go into the campfire
forum to sign up.

you send, you will receive a
star. Once you have reached
one hundred letters, you will
receive a plaque.
IAD Don and Carol Jensen–
There is several states that
groups are trying to get the
land closed to 4 wheel drives.
The states are Colorado,
Utah (MOAB), and California.
California
is
sending
a
representative to Washington,
DC to discuss their displeasure
for what is going on in their
state.
the region is always being
asked to donate food. This
delegate would rather see
the region make a donation
for other items like gravel.
Carol Jensen suggested that
Region 3 set up a fund like
the PNW4WDA board where
the clubs fill out a form for
trails only. The vote was
held and five delegates voted
yes and six delegates voted
no. Motion is denied. After
the vote, more discussion
ensued. It was felt by some of
the delegates that $500 was
too much but that they had
permission from their club that
they would feel comfortable
at $250 and suggested that
the club incur the cost and
asked for reimbursement
afterwards.
Kira let the
delegates know that last year
they club was granted $350
and the reason that they
were asking for the additional
amount was because of the
larger volume of volunteers
that was expected. Ever year
a club member donates an
additional $100 to cover the
cost of the food on top of the
donation from PNW Region
3. The subject came up that
BFG has awarded Yacolt Burn
the Outstanding Trails award
for 2010 and being that this is
the newest off road it would be
disappointing if PNW Region 3
did not make a donation. Josh
made the motion that Region
3 donates $250 towards food
for the Yacolt Burn “Pick up the
Burn” event. Carol Jensen 2nd
the motion. Motion Carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Tom Fischer thanked Region
3 for the $50 donation towards
door prizes and thanked Our
Gang Off Road, and Jolly
Jeepers for helping out with
the event. Rick Smith (one
of the rover’s at the event)
thanked everyone for being
good sports at the Sand Flea
Rally. This was his first event
as a Sand Flea member. Rose
Festival Parade is coming up
on June 11, 12, 13. This is
approximately the 35th year
that Region 3 has been pulling
the floats. The money that is
made from this event goes to
the Region. The volunteers
that tow the floats donate their
gas.
GOOD OF THE ORDER
A work party at the Ethel Race
track will be on May 22 and
23rd, to get the track ready for
the 2010 season. Camping
is available for this weekend.
Season Open at Brown’s
Camp hosted by Our Gang
Off Road and Flat Broke & 4
wheelin will be held on June 5.
Our Gang Off Road is holding
their 4x4 Show and Shine
on June 20 in Woodland,
Washington.
Operation
Shore Patrol is September
18 and 19th in Long Beach,
Washington. No one won the
money last month and tonight
$26 was collected for a total
of $85. Three tickets were
drawn. Rick Smith, Crystal
Crowder, and Marty Telford
drew a card. The joker was
not pulled and the money
will be held over until next
month.

OLD BUSINESS
Recap of motion that was
held over until this meeting:
Pistons Wild is holding the
annual Pick up the Burn.
This year it is being held on
September 25. It is looking
like this year will be much
larger than years previous.
The goal is 250 volunteers
and invitations will be sent to
BF Goodrich and Del Albright
from Blue Ribbon Coalition to
attend. Region 3 has been
gracious to donate the food for
the event in years past. Crystal
explained that anticipating
so many more volunteers we
would need more food. The
member’s of Piston’s Wild
will serve the food. Crystal
Crowder made the motion
that Region 3 donates $500 to
feed the volunteers at this year
event. The motion was 2nd by

LAND MATTERS:
Doug Conner (Roamin’ Chariots)
reported – the Bureau of Land
Management, BLM, has started
a Resource Management Plan,
RMP, for Eastern Washington
which
includes
Juniper
Dunes. There will be several
public scoping meetings for
this in Region 4. BLM has
approximately 445,000 acres of
land in Eastern Washington and
in the San Juan Archipelago.
BLM is hosting six open houses
to share information; the public
is invited to attend and you are
encouraged to submit written
comments. Public comments
will be accepted through June
25, 2010. One meeting will be
held May 26 from 6-8 PM in
Wenatchee at the Chelan PUD,
327 N. Wenatchee Avenue,
Wenatchee, WA; another one
June 1, 6-8 PM in Pasco, WA
at the TRAC Center, 6600
Burden Blvd. Room 4; another
one June 12th 12-3 PM in
Ellensburg at the Quality Inn,
1700 Canyon Road. A complete
list of meeting dates and places
can be found on the BLM web
site at www.blm.gov/or/districts/
spokane/plans/ewsjrmp. Juniper
Dunes is still being used even
though there is no legal access.
Ron
Rutherford
(Jeepin’
Nomads) reported on the
Ahtanum and Wenas areas.
Ron said e-mails had gone out
requesting letters for grants
for projects in the Ahtanum;
one was on the South Fork to
develop an area for parking,
hiking, biking and horses; and
the other grant would benefit
motorized. Ron said he had
attended the Forest Watch
meeting and they discussed
education and how the Forest
Watch was working. Ron said he
had attended a meeting on April
8 for the Wenas area and it was
a really big turn out. Discussion
was on land closures and what
effect that would have on the
user groups. The Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) web
site now has the latest version
of maps; the Wenas is at the
bottom of the list. You will need
ADOBIE 8 or 9 to open and print
these maps. They look great in
color and you are able to read
the names if you can print on an
11 X 17 page.
Earl Nettnin (Region 4 Director
& Desert Rats) gave a report on
the TWIG meeting. Earl said
they were given a run down on
Title II Project Applications for
2011. They announced that
they have put a size limit on the
Little Rattlesnake of 75 inches
wide and 95 inches long; the trail
will be one way from the bottom
to the top for 4X4’s; motorcycles
and quads will be able to go both
ways. The Little Naches area
will open Memorial weekend.
They are working on what they
are calling hazard trees (trees
that need to be taken down
before they fall down). They
have asked if we see anyone
dumping junk, vandalizing
property etc to get information
like license numbers, pictures
and turn it over to the Forest
Service, they will follow up on
it. Travel Management Plan
will be open for public comment
this fall. Two people are cosharing the position that was
held by Sam Bissell for front
country trails, they are Bernie
Snow and Angie Niebuhr. A
comment was made that they
have very little money for road
maintenance. We have been
asked to write support letters
for the Recreation Conservation
Office (ROC) Grants for the
Naches District OHV Education
Rangers, Copper City 4WD
Reconstruction Final Phase,
and Naches Motorized Trails M
& O 2011-2012. Letters are due
by July 1st, be sure to mention
the project, who you are and
why you support it. DNR has
closed some trails in the Reiter
foothills. They said that the
trails snaked over 4,000 acres
of the forest, crossing salmonbearing streams and eroding
pristine land. Officials intend to
open a few roads to the riders
by mid-June, and then phase
in access as trails are built.
Those trails ultimately will cover
about 1,000 acres, a 75 percent
decrease in available terrain.
Another area of concern is the
Yacolt Burn Recreation Plan.
Information about this proposal
can be viewed on DNR’s
website. http://www.dnr.wa.gov/
ResearchScience/Topics/
SEPANonProject/pages/amp_
sepa_nonpro_yacolt_jul.aspx.
Forest Watch: Clay Graham (All
Wheelers & ORV Trail Watch)
reported that pictures had been
posted on the internet of illegal
happenings in the Wenas Wild
Life Area. Resource damage
seems to be a big thing for
some people and we have our
work cut out for us educating
people on what is acceptable
on our trails. If you see this
stuff happening, take pictures,
write down license numbers
and get as much information
as you can and turn it over
to the authorities. DNR also
has a watch started around
the state similar to the Forest
Watch; users patrolling the
trails and keeping watch, doing
some education etc. A lot of
people think the government is
patrolling the trails, they are not
aware that it is volunteers. The
Ski Benders (snowmobilers)
did a lot of this type of work
this past winter and turned in
hundreds of volunteer hours.
The Okanogan Wenatchee
Travel Management Plan is
supposed to be putting out a
draft impact statement soon.
The Rock Crawl is still a work
in progress. Barry Collins said
things are moving ahead and
the National Guard is still going
to help set the rocks.
Forest Plan Revision: meetings
have been held, Earl & Sande
Nettnin attended the one in
Pasco, WA that was on the
Umatilla National Forest; they
did confirm that they don’t have
any class II roads (4X4 trails),
however, we need to write
letters asking them to at least
put 4X4 trails into the plan, so
that if the opportunity arises
June 2010
they could put class II roads
into the plan.
Colville
&
OkanoganWenatchee
Forest
Plan
Revision is supposed to have
a draft out sometime this year.
We will notify everyone when
that happens so we can make
comments.
OLD BUSINESS:
Trail Jamboree:
Kelda
Hagemeier (Trail Jamboree
Co-Chairman, PR & Shindig
Wheelers) said that the trail
host packets are due. They
are still looking for sponsors
and vendors. Still no word
on the 5 year permit with the
Forest Service.
On June
2nd the Forest Service will
be taking a tour of the Little
Rattlesnake to inspect the trail
to see if anything still needed
attention; this trail is one that
is planned to be run at the
Trail Jamboree.
Jim Sprick clean-up April 17th
had a great turn out; 15 clubs
and 83 people turned out. The
Hobo Stew was great and we
didn’t have a half a cup left.
The Nile community posted a
couple of signs saying “Thank
you Jeepers for all your
hard work on the Park”. On
Sunday a run was held, lots of
fun and snow.
Moses Lake Sand Dunes
clean-up Saturday, April 24
was one miserable windy day.
Sunday turned out to be a
pretty nice day and the cleanup continued.
Beverly Sand Dunes cleanup May 1st had 46 volunteers
sign in and 293 volunteer
hours were turned in. It was
very windy also and two
Toyota pickups fell off the
dunes, visibility was quite
bad. The dunes weren’t very
bad because the week-end
before a group from Buckley
had been over and had a
clean-up.
V-Team celebration in Cle
Elum on May 1st to honor the
volunteers was well attended.
Once again the top volunteer
group was the Hurtin’ Units
from Moses Lake. The up
coming work party at Liberty
was discussed. We will have
lots to do; one will be to take
the Deputy Director of the
Forest Service out for an
experience on the 24th; do a
re-route of the 307 trail; put
some kind of barrier to stop
cross country travel across
Tri-Pods Flats; a re-route of
the Lion Gulch trail because
of a water crossing; Hole in
the Rock trail has a loop that
has to come out because of
environmental concerns; and
the usual brushing out of the
trails. They also mentioned
that ROC funds cannot be
used on private lands.
Nothing more on the property
in the Lind area that Gary
deMoss presented at Winter
Convention and our last
region meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
PNW4WDA is working on
putting out a “Slick Magazine”
to commemorate our 50th
Anniversary. Articles were to
have been submitted by May
1 and the deadline to take out
an ad was May 10th. A motion
was made by Al Matson
(Ridgerunners) seconded by
Kelda Hagemeier (Shindig
Wheelers) that Region 4
purchase a quarter page ad
for in the magazine, motion
passed.
Team Trophy Challenge
Washington
sponsored
by the Timber Tamers is
scheduled for August 13, 14
& 15. Deadline to register is

Anatomy
of an
Organized
Event
So you decided to participate in
an organized four wheel drive
event? You find out there is
an event happening, the date
of the event, you send in your
application,
receive
notice
of your acceptance, fill out
the registration and then the
work starts. Am I right? You
start getting your rig needs
and self ready to attend and
at the appropriate date you
show up, find the host and
wait for instructions. Then you
participate in the adventure. Am
I right? That is all there is to it;
right on?
We have always heard there
are two sides to every story.
So, if that is true, what is the
other side?
Well, first there is the part about
somebody getting the bright
idea that they would like to put
on and host an organized four
wheel drive event. That’s really
when the work starts.
The idea is jousted about with
others and some preliminary
thoughts explored.
Where,
when?
Maybe some marketing? You
speak with some folks … Hey,
if we decided to put on and host
event do you think you and your
friends would participate; they
asks, who, where, when? Ah,
answer what you can and stall
about what you can’t…that’s
still not decided.
The idea of an organized four
wheel drive event progresses
to thoughts and discussion of
what would be done and how it
could happen and what are we
gonna call this event?
The invites are sent. Voila;
event is born.
I don’t know because I wasn’t
there, but I am guessing
that “Cabin Fever”, “PNW
Jamboree”, “Groundhog Rock
Crawl”, “Creek N’ Trail”, PNW
Summer Convention, beach/
mountain cleanups, “Divide
Ride”, “Jeep Safari”, etc.,
sprang to life by some such.
What I can tell you is that
the host part of an organized
four wheel drive event takes
an awful lot of organization,
planning and work to be
successful. Not just the first
time, but each and every time
presents its own challenges.
I know because I watched…
from afar, always thinking
how did they pull that off.
This year was no different.
April 10, 2010 was the
eleventh year of “Cabin
Fever”.
Yet, the tests and
challenges of hosting were
still there.
Even though
“Cabin Fever” is tried and
true, after eleven adventures,
it remains a huge project.
Planning began early in
the year by establishing a
committee of North Idaho
Trailblazer members.
The
committee
job
was
to
organize the event and carry
through until the cleanup the
day after was accomplished;
and all before church services
Sunday morning. This they
did, making this years “Cabin
Fever” another bonafide
success.
How did they do this? Well,
you can’t get the answer from
me as I don’t know because
I wasn’t a member of the
committee.
However, as
a club member I got tidbits
here and there of what
the committee needed in
support of the endeavor by
Ahtanum State Forest
ORV Trails Clean-up
club members. Somehow
those on the committee put
together and answered all
the questions required for
the “where, when, how, what,
who” and all the concerns
about how to get to those
questions
necessary
to
again put on the event.
I can tell you that every
proposed adventure trail
for Cabin Fever was ran
from time to time and preran just before the day of
Cabin Fever to assure that it
would provide an adventure
of a lifetime with concerns
for safety and to minimize
damage to guests rides, the
trail and the environment
of paramount address.
I
can tell you this, as for this
years event, as I was there
along with many of my fellow
Trailblazers, even many on
the committee, doing double
or triple duty; a lot of work,
but a lot of fun!
For more information on
the where, when, how,
what, who of Cabin Fever,
check out the Cabin Fever
caption on the North Idaho
Trailblazers website.
Until next time around, may
your trails be delightful!

Comment Deadline
on Cape Hatteras
Draft ORV
Management Plan/
DEIS is Tomorrow
for completing the Comment Form.
Apologies for the short notice,
but the National Park Service
will close public comment
tomorrow on a plan that could
eliminate motorized access
The folks at Preserve Beach
Access and United Four
Wheel Drive Associations are
both doing yeoman’s work in
keeping this area open. PBA’s
website has a page with a lot
of additional information and
detailed analysis of the Park
Service’s Plan.
Please take a minute to send
the National Park Service
comments. We have another
one of our INSANELY EASY
three-step action items below.
Thanks in advance for your
action.
STEP 3: Take just a minute
to add a bit about where you
live, any visits you have made
Seashore, how often you
go, how long you have been
riding in the area and/or how
important the area is to you.
Once you have completed
your comments, click the
“Submit” button.
Help Keep Cape Hatteras Open!
Beach enthusiasts NEED to
comment during the Draft
ORV
Management
Plan/

comment
regarding
your
experience.
BRC’S THREE-STEP

STEP-BY-STEP
INSTRUCTIONS ON
HOW TO SEND YOUR

Read and follow the instructions
STEP 2: Use the comments
suggestions below as a
guideline for your comments.
Cut and paste is okay, but try
to make your comment letter
as personal as possible.
wildlife and the visiting public,
buffers must be based on peerreviewed science For example,
the Piping Plover, a species
classified as threatened and
not endangered, is given
a level of unprecedented
protection in Alternative F.
A 1,000-meter buffer in all
directions represents over 771
acres. The DEIS does not cite
any peer-reviewed science
in supporting such closure. A
more appropriate & effective
buffer would be 200 meters.
Birds that are not listed as
endangered should not be
afforded the level of protection
given to ESA (Endangered
Species
Act)
protected
species. Instead of 300-meter
buffers for these birds, a more
appropriate buffer would be
30 meters. Also, all birds in
the same ecosystem of the
seashore should be counted.
This includes all the many
birds on the dredge and spoil
islands located just yards
away and within sight of the
Directions:
From Yelm head west on Hwy 507 toward Tenino. When you get through Rainier, make a left onto Vail Cut Off Rd. SE. Head 1.3

COMMENT SUGGESTIONS:
The NPS must formulate a
plan that is consistent with
the legislation establishing
Cape
Hatteras
National
The enabling legislation for
the Recreational Area states,
in part, “said area shall be,
and is, established, dedicated,
and set apart as a national
seashore recreational area for
the benefit and enjoyment of
the people and shall be known
as the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Recreational Area”.
Therefore, it is important to
balance resource protection
with reasonable access for
recreation.
Corridors are a vital tool
in providing access while
managing resources. They
provide a small path around
temporary resource closures
in order to provide access
to open areas that would
otherwise
be
blocked.
Corridors should be permitted
throughout
the
seashore
during the entire breeding
and nesting season including
ML-1 portions of SMAs.
These corridors would provide
valuable
access
without
impairment or damage to
protected resources. Buffers,
or closures, are important
management practices for
species recovery. However, to
have long term benefit for the
Cadillac Ranch
Motorsports Inc.
Saturday May 8th
seashore.
The National Park Service should
consider turtle management
practices successfully used in
other federal and state areas to
achieve nesting success. More
proactive measures include
relocating nests to more desirable
locations, which is routinely and
successfully done in other areas.

NEW INFORMATION ON
2010 TEAM TROPHY
CHALLENGE
Since we are having a hard
time filling the field of 20
teams we are going to try a
few things to get this filled
before July 1st.
If we dont get at least 15
teams by then, it looks like
we would have to cancel this
years event.
So read the following carefully!
The Location this year will be
Liberty, Washington.
We
are
tweaking
the
daytime format to be geared
more heavily towards the
wheeling aspect but are still
keeping the “night time search”
portion also.
We are dropping the width
restriction but all competition
vehicles still must be street
legal, show proof of insurance
and go through tech inspection.
NO EXCEPTIONS!! Check
www.TTCW.org for a list of
requirements you will need to
clear tech.
