Wheelers for
the Wounded
I have an event I’d like to
get into the Tri-Power for
next month. I’d like to look at
getting word out for the event
in 3 ways - as a news article,
as an event listed in the 4x4
event guide calendar for the
next issue, and also as an ad.
I’ll have to discuss the ad with
you, as I’d like to find out if there
is any negotiating the rate for a
larger ad in an upcoming issue
Arlene Brooks
Washington Exec. Director
February ’09
It has been a busy first part of
the year – the State Meeting
is now behind us and Winter
Convention is just ‘round the
bend. You will find the minutes
from the State Meeting
available at Convention for
corrections/additions and/or
approval.
I have been asked to attend
the Department of Natural
Resources
(DNR)
board
meeting in Olympia on the 3rd
of February presenting our
position on the Department’s
WAC Revision (Section 33252) (we have been involved
since ’04); I have accepted the
invitation.
The latter part of February
DNR personal is planning
an all recreation leadership
meeting
–
gathering
recognized recreation groups
together – sitting down face-toface addressing recreation on
managed state lands; I have
accepted this invitation on
behalf of our four wheel drive
organization; more information
will follow.
In between these meetings I
continue to participate in the
DNR’s Sustainable Recreation
Work Group (sub-committee’s
were formed) with regards to
current funding and access
ideas – these topics are to be
addressed over the next couple
months; the Departments
online survey has been found
to be very valuable to the task
force; thanks to those who
took the time to participate.
Till next time ……..
Arlene Brooks, WA. State
Director

But I’ll start at the beginning.
Wheelers for the Wounded
is a national travelling event
designed to express our
gratitude for the service of our
wounded military personnel.
Currently - it is 20 events
throughout the United States,
starting in April and ending
in September that are all
weekend camping/wheeling
experiences. There is more
information on the event here:
www.wheelersforthewounded.org
WFTW
is
a
non-profit
organization, and all funding
goes first to support each
individual local event. We
hope not only to cover event
costs through donations and
sponsors, but also hope to
have funds in excess of the
expenses of the local event.
These funds will be donated
to Fisher House - another
non-profit assisting military
personnel
by
providing
temporary housing for military
families while the wounded
service member is at a
medical facility. More info on
that organization here:
www.fisherhouse.org
There are events scheduled
in Oregon (to be hosted by
PNW Reg 3) and Washington
(hosted by PNW affiliated
clubs Timber Tamers and
Quadra Paws of PNW Regions
1 and 2 respectively. I am the
contact for the Washington
event - so I am most focused
on getting the word out for the
Washington WFTW event.
The Washington event is
scheduled for the 4th of July
weekend. The actual ride
will happen July 4, 2009 at
the ORV area at the Tahuya
State Forest outside of Belfair,
WA, and camping will be
at Sahalee Retreat Center
down the road in Tahuya, WA
over the weekend of July 3-5,
2009.
So - my questions are these
- What info do you need for
getting on the events guide?
What info do you need for
doing a news article?
Given
that
all
moneys
end up going to non-profit
organizations
supporting
wounded vets and their
families - what kind of deal (if
any lower than the published
rates) could be put together
for a partial page ad for PNW
sponsored WFTW events?
Thanks for whatever you can
4
tell me. If you need me to write
up a story to put in the the
Tri-Power for the next issue,
please let me know how you
want it - and I’ll turn it around
to you before the 25th.
Thank you.

Off-Road Woman
Featured as
Leading Lady in
National Outdoors
Magazine
Mokelumne Hill, CA
January 16th, Stacie Albright,
long time Calaveras County
citizen is featured in the Fall
2008 edition of the nationally
recognized magazine, Sticks
& Stones Outdoor Adventures
(http://www.ssoutdooradv
entures.com/). Albright, a
recreation advocate and local
photographer is applauded for
her diversified enjoyment of
the great outdoors, including
hunting, fishing, camping,
exploring, hiking, and travel.
She is also well known in
the world of recreation for
her involvement with the
BlueRibbon Coalition –
a national trails group that
champions
responsible
recreation.
Sticks & Stones magazine,
with
John
Michael
Montgomery,
covers
the
gambit of outdoor adventure
in print, radio, web and TV.
Albright was chosen as a
“Leading Lady†because
of her adventurous spirit in
several outdoor activities, as
well as her advocacy work
to keep public lands open for
responsible use through the
BlueRibbon Coalition. (http:
//www.sharetrails.org).
Del
Albright,
BlueRibbon
Coalition Ambassador and
Stacie’s husband, stated, I’m
very proud of Stacie for being
featured like this, and for her
hard work in general. Not only
that, she knows how to have
fun!”
The feature depicts the story
of how Stacie got started with
her brothers hunting in Ohio
as a young child, then tells
the tale of how today she out
fishes her husband on local
lakes in Calaveras County.
“I’m honored to be recognized
like this, but I think it’s more
important for people to take
home the message that the
outdoors are for all of us and
we should find the time to
enjoy what we have in this
great country” Stacie adds.

class. The bill sponsors want
to scrap up to one million cars
a year for at least four years.
There is no evidence that the
program would achieve the
goal of boosting new car sales
or increasing fuel mileage.
Many states have considered
scrappage programs in the
past as a way to help clean
the air or increase mpg, but
abandoned the effort because
they simply don’t work. The
programs are not cost-effective
and do not achieve verifiable
air quality or fuel economy
benefits, but they do have
a devastating impact on the
many small businesses that
market products and services
for the scrapped cars.

Don’t Delay! Please contact
Senator Diane Feinstein and
Rep. Henry Waxman today
to urge their opposition to S.
247 and H.R. 520. For those
who responded to our first
call for action, we need you
again, along with everyone
else.
Oppose
Federal Vehicle
Scrappage
Program
Our efforts to prevent Congress
from including a nationwide
“Cash for Clunkers” program
in the economic stimulus
package has been successful
– so far. Thousands of SEMA
members and SEMA Action
Network (SAN) enthusiasts
contacted House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi in opposition
to the plan. The Speaker’s
Office informed us that your
emails, calls and faxes were
received and, thanks to your
work, Cash for Clunkers
was not included in the
economic stimulus package
introduced in mid-January in
the House of Representatives.
Unfortunately, new legislation
(S. 247 and H.R. 520) has
been introduced in Congress
to create a national vehicle
scrappage program which
will give U.S. tax dollars to
consumers who turn-in their
“gas guzzlers” to have them
crushed. Lawmakers need to
scrap this idea!
Contact Senator Diane
Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep.
Henry Waxman (D-CA)
Immediately to Oppose S.
247 and H.R. 520
The so-called “Accelerated
Retirement
of
Inefficient
Vehicles Act” is Cash for
Clunkers with a twist. Instead
of focusing exclusively on
older cars, this program would
target vehicles with low fuel
economy ratings of any model
year.
Participants
would
receive cash vouchers ranging
from $2,500 to $4,500 based
on the model year and whether
the replacement vehicle was
a more fuel-efficient new
car or used car (MY 2004
or later). Fuel-efficient is
defined as getting at least
25 percent better mileage for
the corporate average fuel
economy (CAFE) target for its

Talking Points
Oppose the Use
of U.S. Taxpayer
Dollars for
Accelerated
Vehicle
Retirement
• I am writing to urge lawmakers
not to approve an “accelerated
vehicle retirement” program.
Even on a voluntary basis, the
program will hurt thousands
of independent repair shops,
auto restorers, customizers
and their customers across
the country that depend on
the used car market. These
businesses
are
already
very vulnerable in the weak
economy.
• An
accelerated
vehicle
retirement program is flawed
since it does not target the
“gross polluter,” an improperly
maintained vehicle of any
make or model year that
has poor fuel mileage and
dramatically more emissions
due to poor maintenance.
• An
accelerated
vehicle
retirement program is flawed
February 2009
because it does not factor-in
how many miles-a-year the
collected vehicles are currently
being driven. U.S. taxpayers
will be buying rarely-driven
second and third vehicles that
have minimal impact on overall
fuel economy and air pollution.
• Accelerated vehicle retirement
won’t generate many new
car sales. The cash incentive
provided will not be enough to
enable a person to buy a new
or used vehicle.
• Accelerated vehicle retirement
will compete with nonprofits
that rely on vehicle donations
to raise funds, such as the
Salvation Army, the Purple
Heart and other charities.
• Accelerated vehicle retirement
threatens to disrupt a large and
complex industry which already
handles scrappage, repair,
remanufacturing and recycling
issues.
This
independent
industry provides thousands of
American jobs and generates
millions of dollars in local, state
and federal tax revenues.
•Accelerated vehicle retirement
ignores better policy options.
Taxpayer dollars would be
better spent as direct tax
incentives to purchase a fuelefficient new or used car,
without a government vehicle
crushing program. Congress
should also provide tax
incentives to upgrade, repair
and maintain existing cars,
trucks and SUVs. There are
many commercially available
products and technologies
that can substantially improve
fuel mileage and lower the
emissions.
• We hope we can count on you
to reject “Accelerated Vehicle
Retirement.” Thank you for
your consideration on this very
important matter.

The BLM manages more
land – 256 million acres
– than any other Federal
agency. This land, known as
the National System of Public
Lands, is primarily located in
12 Western states, including
Alaska. The Bureau, with a
budget of about $1 billion,
also administers 700 million
acres of sub-surface mineral
estate throughout the nation.
The
BLM’s
multiple-use
mission is to sustain the
health and productivity of
the public lands for the use
and enjoyment of present
and future generations. The
Bureau accomplishes this by
managing such activities as
outdoor recreation, livestock
grazing, mineral development,
and energy production, and by
conserving natural, historical,
cultural, and other resources
on public lands.

Volunteers
and DNR help
protect Reiter
Foothills
Reiter Foothills, located in
eastern Snohomish County,
has long been a popular
recreation area. The 10,000acre area attracts a diverse
range of users including offroad enthusiasts, campers,
hikers, mountain bikers, and
hunters. The southern portion,
in particular, has become
increasingly popular over the
years for motorized use.
Reiter is so popular that
certain locations have become
overused, and some streams
and stream corridors have
experienced
environmental
damage from off-trail riding
and the large numbers of
riders using the area.
The Washington Departments
of Natural Resources (DNR),
Ecology, and Fish and Wildlife,
and the Tulalip Tribes are
working on some interim
projects to protect the area
from further damage to its
resources. These
interim
measures will help address
water quality problems until
the Reiter Foothills recreation
advisory group completes
its final recommendations
and DNR determines the
best course of action for
the long term. (For more

planning for Reiter Foothills,

amp_rec_reiter_foothills.aspx)
Volunteers have played an
important role in restoring
Reiter Foothills. In the past
few months, DNR staff have
worked with volunteers from
groups such as the Northwest
Quad Association, the Pacific
Northwest Four Wheel Drive
Association, and Reiter Trail
Watch to complete on-theground projects that:
· Protect water quality by keeping
sediment from flowing into streams.
· Protect wetlands and fish habitat.
· Clean up and prevent litter.
Volunteers and DNR staff
have already completed the
following projects:
· Hardening the Deer Creek
crossing.
· Conducting weekend
cleanups of the area.
· Repairing fencing & eliminating
motorized access around
Reiter Pond to protect the
area.
The next planned work will
involve
placing
ecology
blocks to control access to
sensitive areas along Reiter
Road and near Reiter Pond
where a significant amount of
garbage dumping is occurring.
We expect this work to be
completed by mid-January.

is a great example of how
volunteers are helping to

Closed
Yakima, WA Due to flooding
by the Yakima River this past
week, the Bureau of Land
Management
(BLM)
has
temporarily closed portions of
the four developed recreation
sites it manages in the
Yakima River Canyon. BLM’s
Umtanum, Lmuma Creek, Big

ranging from buried tables and
fire rings, to damaged boat
launches and signs.
Closures include the Umtanum
bridge and boat launch; all of
Lmuma Creek; Big Pines boat
ramp, outhouses and the north
end of the campground; and
Roza boat ramp.
These areas will be closed
to the public until further
assessments and repairs of
the damage can be made.
BLM cautions visitors to pay
attention to changing river
levels and conditions at these
and other roads and recreation
sites in the area.

It all started rather innocently,
a posting in the (Spokane)
Spokesman-Review
that
the 7 Mile ORV Area would
be closing for the winter
2, # 3, # 4).
Background: The ORV area
at Riverside State Park is 600
acres of fun!
Set aside in the 1980’s for OffRoad Vehicles, the area has
proven to be very popular for
motorcycles, ATV’s, and fourwheelers. The terrain provides
hill climbs, sand areas, and
trails through wooded areas.

The day started out with meeting at Rogers Camp at 8:30am. We had 4 members, 1
applicant, and 5 guests. We planned on going in a loop. We started out on the Cedar Tree trail.
From there we went to Firebreak Five, Saddle Up, Hogs Back, Rocky Uphill, Archers Firebreak,
and then back to the trail head. Every one had a good time and there was no carnage to report.
beginning on December 1st
and would not reopen until late
March or early April.
That’s all it took to get the ball
rolling – or in this case, the
opposition to the closure.
E-mails went out; postings
were made on various
forums and web sites. Word
spread rapidly and opposition
mounted, including phone
calls to both the park rangers
as well as Olympia!
Jeff Williams (Spokane 4
Wheelers) arranged a meeting
with the park ranger in which
it was agreed to keeping the
park open closing it only on
Wednesdays and Thursdays.
However, the folks who use 7
Mile would have to help out.
The details of this “help”
would come later, but we did
succeed in keeping the park
open through the winter!
As a show of thanks, a rally
was held on Sunday, Nov 23
at the 7 Mile ORV Area (photo

gathered at the mud hole for
a photo opportunity. Over 100
vehicles were counted! This

Quadrapaws 4x4 Club Opens
Yellow Jacket Saddle
By Michael Welander
The Tahuya State Forest 4X4 trail has been transforming
over the last several months with improvement of existing
trails. The addition of the rock crawl hill and molies has
created an extreme trail for the technically advanced
vehicles. Now a challenging trail has been opened for the
moderately built 4X4 vehicles to test your skill and nerve.
looking up placing rocks on the hill. A 8000 lb concrete
block nest was buried to provide a winch point for the rock
hill climb.
The trail boundary along the sides and bottom of the
hill climbs were barricaded to prevent damage to
the surrounding forest. DNR and the Quadrapaws
worked closely to ensure that the trail is passable by a
“Reasonably” built vehicle could climb the rock climb and

that the environment was protected. No bypass for this
trail is required. Any user built bypass will not be tolerated.
Any driver caught off trail will receive a ticket.
Yellow Jacket Saddle trail just over ¼ mile long was
opened in December. This previous hill climb was known
as Yellow Jacket Hill. The trail contains a long rock climb
and a steep off camber dirt hill climb guarded by molies at
the west entrance.
At the December 2008 PNW4WDA Board meeting Jeff
Williams made a presentation applying for funding from
the PNW4WDA (IAW) (Trail building and maintenance
fund) for reimbursement cost of equipment rental and fuel.
The first vehicle to try it out was Randy Smith of the
Quadrapaws. His 1984 CJ7 has 33X10.5 tires, locked at
both ends and a 2 inch lift. He had no problems traveling
in either direction. Just choose your line wisely. Another
Quadrapaw John George wasn’t so lucky. His TJ with the
same set up as Randy’s Jeep. Didn’t fare so well on the
off camber dirt hill climb. He broke his drivers side steering
knuckle. We Have a saying in the club. “Its Just Tahuya”
What the Quadrapaws lack in notability they more than
make that up with their dedication to the Tahuya state
Forest 4X4 trail system. They pour their heart and
soul into the Tahuya every year. Maintaining the trails
keeping the place clean and OPEN for others to come
and enjoy their hobby of Four Wheeling. That alone
makes the Quadrapaws one of the elite 4X4 clubs of the
PNW4WDA.
The Board clearly was behind the project and approved the
funding to rent an excavator and skid steer loader to move
the material onto the hillside. The DNR had several loads
of rock approximately 380 tons delivered to the trailhead.
Showing that we have their support for this project.
Twelve Quadrapaw Club members worked the project
from Saturday to Thursday putting in 286 hours during
one of the coldest weeks that could be remembered.
Most days began at daylight and headlights were on when
putting away the equipment for the night. On Tuesday
morning the temperature was 11 degrees and caused
the club presidents Travis Waldher eyelashes to freeze

out of this little hole where the
valve stem used to be. After
mumbling a few expletives, I
began my quest to see if there
were any spares I could use
that have the same bolt pattern
as the Toyota. Hmmmm, not
that pile…..not that pile, maybe
that pile, NOPE, that pile! (my
husband has quite the collection
of tires, I think from every vehicle
we’ve owned since we’ve been
married-and then some) Lucky
me….I found one.
I then
commenced to taking the lug
nuts off of the now airless tire.
NO small feat mind you as my
husband insists on tightening
those suckers on there with a
brute strength I can only fathom.
After muttering yet a few more
expletives, I finally get the tire
off. Yay for me! It being about
29 degrees outside, my hands
had become quite numb by this
time. So I get the spare on and
hand tighten the lug nuts. I grab
my “lug tightening tool” (can’t
think of the name of it right now)
and start to tighten down the lug
nuts so I can avoid anymore
exciting adventures for the rest
of my day.
On January 17th, 2009 we had our clubs yearly

My Day….So Far
(true story)
By: Tiffany Morris
The challengers and judges got spread out since the other
group would not let them pass.
10
Did you ever have “one
of those days”? As I walked
around the Toyota this morning
to get ready and head out to
work, I notice the front left tire
was a little low. So I go and
open up the garage door and
plug in my husband’s behemoth
air compressor, click on the
correct fitting for putting air in the
tire stem and wait a few seconds
for the compressor to build up
pressure. I then carefully take
off the cap to the valve stem
and place it in my pocket so as
not to lose it….I’ve done that a
time or two before (lost the cap
that is….) and it drives Dan, my
February 2009
husband, nuts. (He’s pretty
particular when it comes to
things matching….even a
little valve cap) I check the
gauge to make sure there is
adequate pressure for me to
commence filling my tire with
air. I connect all the right parts
to the valve stem and press
down. That’s when my troubles
started….Air started blowing
in my face, blowing my hair
up off of my forehead, drying
out my contacts, etc. I looked
down to see what I possibly
could’ve done incorrectly,
because you know I NEVER
do anything wrong. I noticed
that the whole valve stem had
come out of the tire and was
stuck inside the fitting…or is
it called a “chuck”?, Heck, I
can never remember stuff like
that. I stood there watching
at what little air was left inside
of the tire come screaming
I come to the second to the
last lug nut to be tightened and
“SNAP”….it falls off. (the lug
nut, not the tool) I look down
to see that not only the lug nut
has snapped off, but the bolt
that the lug nut screws onto has
come off as well. Once again
the expletives spew forth from
my mouth ….I stood there and
debated on whether or not to
call my husband and tell him of
my woes. I hate to do that you
see….because I like to think I
can do things, such as changing
a stinking tire,on my own.
Hmmmmm, I was in a quandary.
Should I chance driving to and
from work with only four lug nuts
or do I call my husband?? I
settled on the latter….call him I
did. He listened to my tale, just
as I’ve told it to you today…..and
he laughed. Hmmmmppppffff.
laughed. Needless to say, I
was informed that I would be
just fine with only four lug nuts.
I was given explicit instructions
not to do any off-road exploring
today…..no worries about that
as I was already 30 minutes late
to work. So I climbed inside my
trusty Toyota, hands all covered
in greasy gross-ness, clothes all
askew and my hair had turned
into a frizzy bush that sat atop
my cranium. Lovely. I cranked
the heater up to high so I could
defrost my greasy digits and
set off to work. I arrived safely,
as my husband assured me I
would, and without a hitch. I
walked inside the office and
discovered I had left my lunch at
home. Expletive. Expletive.
The End.

MEETING
JANUARY 13, 2009
UNION GAP, WA
Director Earl Nettnin, (Desert
Rats) called the meeting to
order at 7:35 PM. The Pledge
of Allegiance was recited and a

Earl asked that everyone
introduce themselves since
we had several new faces in
attendance.

4-Wheelin’ News
Web Site: Rick White (Shindig
Wheelers) reported not much
activity on the forum. Several
people reported they were
having trouble connecting and
that it was taking a long time
to download.
Rick reported
that as of now the Region 4
Forum seems to be dead. After
much discussion a motion was
made by Rick White (Shindig
Wheelers) seconded by Shaun
Rehfield (Ridgerunners) that
we drop the current Region 4
Forum on our Region 4 Web
site and wait for the new PNW
Forum to grow and ask at Winter
Convention that we be allowed
to have control of the section
for Region 4 and have our
own moderator for that section.
Motion passed. FYI you have
to re-register on the new PNW

that a class will be held at Winter
Convention for anyone who is
having issues on how to signup, post, how to handle picture
posting etc. Classes will be held
Friday night and Saturday. If
you are interested contact Rick
White at [email protected]
or (509) 674-9559 or Clay
Graham (All Wheelers Off

or
(509) 833-4472 and Ron Dunn
Jr. (All Wheelers off Road)
[email protected]
or
(509) 201-0064 so they can
have an idea of how many
to plan for, however, it’s not
necessary to pre-register.
PR: Kelda Hagemeier (Shindig
Wheelers) reported that she
is very happy to post any PR
item on the contact list she has.
If you are not on her list and
would like to be, send her an
e-mail at [email protected]
and she will add your name.
Thanks Kelda for doing such a
great job.
LAND MATTERS:
Juniper Dunes: Doug Conner
(Roamin’ Chariots) reported that
we still have no legal access
to Juniper Dunes, but several
people are still driving past the
No Trespassing sign and going
anyway. Doug said that a Boy
Scout leader had called him
about Juniper and Doug gave
him the name of the person
who is in charge of the area and
after thee verbal phone calls he
was able to have permission to
take his scouts to Juniper for a
week end camp out. They had
a great time, even though the
weather was not the greatest.
The new BLM field manager,
June Hues said the BLM will
be working with the landowner
that they currently have an
access agreement with and she
assumes the agreement won’t
change. The present agreement
is up in February.
Doug
reported that he has exchanged
e-mails with Brad Peck the new
Franklin County Commissioner
and he seems to be on board
with getting access and he
has at least talked to one of
the land owners and others
who are involved in access.
Barb
Lisk,
Congressman
Doc Hastings office manager
in Pasco said Doc would
continue to support efforts that
work toward enhanced public
access to Juniper Dunes.
She wasn’t sure that his new
position as top Republican
on the Resources Committee
would help but that it wouldn’t
hurt. Still Government speed.
Doug also said the BLM has
buried two counters out there
that will keep track of how
many are using the area.
Liberty: We have had several
work parties in that area and
about the first of December
an Issaquah man died in an
accident when the jeep he was
riding in rolled. Apparently the
driver had a 5-point harness
seat belt and the passenger
only had the standard seat
belt. Joanne Hansen (Shindig
Wheelers) reported apparently
they were having trouble going
up a hill and had backed down
to get a run at it and the driver
lost control and went off the trail
and rolled 13 times missing
several trees on the way down.
That area was extremely
muddy this time of the year
and probably they should not
have been wheeling in that
area. We need to remember to
use common sense and safety
when wheeling.
Little Rattlesnake: As far as
we know everything has been
logged and brushed out and we
are waiting for Sam Bissell of
the Forest Service to finish the
dozer work. The trail should be
open sometime this year.
Moses Lake Sand Dunes:
Dave McMains (Hurtin’ Units)
nothing going on with 4wheeling right now. Dave said
that a lot of rails and bikes have
been using it because the sand
is hard right now.
Wenas:
Shaun Rehfield
(Ridgerunners) reported they
had a meeting December
4th, gates are closed from
December 1 to May 1, however,
some gates will be opened for
snowmobilers only
on weekends. DNR said they
had some problems around
Observatory Road with some
miners and loggers equipment
had been vandalized. They
are planning to replace and
put up more green dot signage
on trails. They are planning
to print more maps showing
the land exchanges and they
hope it will be done by June
30th. They talked about the
Cascade Forest and they have
the money to finish it. Last year
things went well with garbage
at a minimum. They had no
problems with Snowmobilers.
They may close Hardy Canyon
Road for maintenance and they
will be doing some extreme
February 2009
road maintenance. The next
meeting will be April 2 – 6:
30 at the Selah Fire Station.
Maps were handed out of the
Wenas area for those who
wanted them.
Ahtanum:
Ron Rutherford
(Jeepin’ Nomads) reported
that his committee had
finished their work in October
but they had voted to keep
meeting so they could sort
of keep an eye on the area.
They will meet again in
March to look at where their
recommendation has gone
and where funding needs are.
The last weekend in October
members of the Sustainable
Recreation Work Group (the
group formed by former
Land Commissioner Doug
Sutherland) met in Yakima
and toured the Ahtanum
State Forest and saw that
there was a lot of recreation
going on. Arlene Brooks (our
WA ST Director) sits on this
committee and she indicated
that it was very worth while
and en-lighting. Several work
parties are planned when the
snow is gone. Ron will let us
know when the dates are set.
TWIG: Earl reported on the
December TWIG meeting.
He said that John McGowan
talked about the history of the
Oak Creek Wild Life area. He
also said that the owner of the
Mud Lake Road had closed it
to the public. Pam Remley
(Shindig Wheelers) said that
is the road to the power lines
that provides power to the
homes in the area where they
live.
The outcome from the
state wide meetings for the
Sustainable Recreation Work
Group has been compiled
and is available on line at
www.dnr.wa.gov.
The WAC 332-52 – DNR
Recreation and Public Access
– Update revision is out. Earl
received a 7 page e-mail
with changes listed.
Ron
Rutherford (Jeepin’ Nomads)
said he had received the one
inch thick document and had
not had the opportunity to
read through it. If you are
planning on having an activity
on DNR land you need to
be sure you know what the
requirements are. Check it
out on the DNR web site.
Three state agencies, DNR,
Washington Dept of Fish &
Wildlife and State Parks has
been working collaboratively
for the last 5 years to more
efficiently manage the limited
funding
for
Washington
Conservation Corps (WCC).
The goals for 2009 are:
establishing
a
periodic
recreation
newsletter;
developing a 10-year capital
plan; developing a master
volunteer project list; and
increasing grant funding
and volunteer participation.
Also they are planning to
have some special training
on
Volunteer
Calendar;
Volunteer
Training;
Mentoring Program; ORV
Safety Summit; and help
address non-point sources
of pollution. They are trying
to involve user groups in
being part of the solution.
Right now they are working
with the PNW4WDA on two
major projects to prevent
sedimentation from entering
critical streams. If any of
these piques your interest
and you want to be involved
contact Mark Mauren at
DNR. Updates can be found
on the department’s web
page.
Reiter Foothill State Forest
Planning process is on
going.
Recommendations will be
out early this year.
We have a new WA State
Land Commissioner, Peter
Goldmark and he says he
wants to make sure we move
forward very carefully and he
has no plans to make any
changes right now.
Rock Crawl: Nothing new
has happened with it. Still a
work in progress.
Tahuya coordinator Jeff
Williams (West) Quadrapaws
had presented a proposal for
funds from the PNW4WDA’s
Trail funds to complete work
on the Yellow Jacket Saddle
trail. Jeff’s proposal was
very detailed and the BOD
granted his request at the
December 6th BOD meeting.
On the 17th of December
he notified the BOD that the
work had been completed
and the trail was now open.
When he submitted his bill it
was noted that he came in
under budget and on time.
Jeff’s proposal is available
as a guideline if you are
submitting a proposal for
money for a project. This
trail fund money is available
for any trail project.
Forest Revision Plans have
had to back up, they have
to coordinate some of the
things they have done
with the 2008 new revision
planning rule. They may be
ready for review in 2010, and
implementation in 2011.
Noise level in Yakima County
will get a hearing before the
county commissioners in
2009, dates have not been
set according to an article in
the Yakima Herald Republic

WA State Meeting: was held
Saturday, January 10 in
Pacific, WA and attendance
was hampered by the weather
conditions. We had only 2
people from Eastern WA who
were able to attend. Arlene
Brooks (WA ST Director)
asked me to ask if we would
be interested in having a
STATE meeting on this side
of the mountains. After a short
discussion the answer was
a very big YES, and we will
discuss it further with Arlene at
Winter Convention during the
joint Caucus.
Bill Lucke (Desert Rats) asked
if anyone had any information
on what is going on in the
Clockum as far as closing
roads, green dot roads and

NEW BUSINESS:
Earl reported that in the Driving
Force an article was printed
about some legislators who
may consider bringing a bill
before congress called “Cash
for clunkers” this would pose
serious consequences for
thousands of auto enthusiasts
and anyone restoring and
customizing motor vehicles,
this would include our 4 X 4’s
as well. Earl wrote a letter
to our congressman, Doc
Hastings and got a response
from him saying it has not
been introduced yet, but he
would keep our concerns in
mind should it come before the
full House of Representatives
for a vote. This is something
we need to watch for.

for Class II trails in the area.
Please comment.

of off-road trails south of Bend.
The proposal is 100 miles for
motorcycles and about 45
miles for Jeeps and other
four wheel drive vehicles.
The area called Lava Rock
is between us Highway 97

Volcanic Monument.
The

Land Issues: Eastside (Larry
East) The USFS is not working
on the Sourdough area. Larry
has been trying to contact Joel
King to answer questions he
has on the area and Mr. King
has been out of town. Larry
has encouraged us to write to
the concerned USFS district to
thank that district for allowing
us our permit, to remind them
we are the keepers of the
Mc Grew Trail. We repair
the trail, repair the toilets at
Sourdough and clean the trail
as we go and come. 28 years
of stewardship by Region 6 of

also remind the agency repair
of the trails should be large
boulders placed for proper

The BLM has yet to get back
with Four Runners of Klamath
Falls on the rock pit they have
offered.
The local contact
from their agency is very open.
Several have braved the trail
to the pit and say the trail and
the pit are very promising.
Membership Update: (Beth
Ayer) The Medford Club has
decided to join California’s
4Wheel drive association.
Rick Thomas the ATV Funding
Committee member is an
individual member of the
PNW4WDA.
Ways and Means: (Gaileen
Paulson) New t-shirts are
available with a variety of
camo motif.
Old Business:
“Wheeling for the Wounded”
There is a possibility of
Jason spending two weeks
in Oregon. Alan Paulson will
put together a written agenda
for the veteran’s voyage
through and around Oregon.
The planning is in process.
Contact Alan for questions and
volunteering. June 27th is still
the date for the coastal event.
If he stays the additional
week Deschutes County Four
Wheelers will work with him for
eastern Oregon trips and stay.
Creekn’ Trail, Larry has gotten
the insurance, and is working
on the permit. The event will be
put on by the board, delegates
and individual volunteers.
The equipment needs to be
repaired and inventoried.
Volunteers stepped forward
to accomplish the task. The
necklace meal ticket seemed
to work very well and we have
volunteers to punch the cards
as diners go through the line.
June 1st will be the deadline
for registration.

Club Reports:
Deschutes County 4 Wheelers:
Randy Drake reported on
tons of Snow Runs.
The
Christmas Party was well
attended. Randy invited all to
a Snow Run Bon Fire after the
meeting. We have had some
success with trail matters, but
we have to keep active in our
quest.
Umpqua
Valley
Timber
Cruisers: Gaileen Paulson
reported on a mud run that
turned into a snow run with
an accumulation of 18 inches,
and some very cold weather.
Four Runners of Klamath Falls:
Steve Roach reported on new
officers being elected. Their
50 family goal being a little set
back but are 30 families strong
with 3 new prospects already
this year. Their monthly runs
include the February Eagle
Run out of Merrill Oregon
where they find Eagles in the
refuge by abundance.
Strawberry Hill: Paul Norman
reported on new officers and a
growing club. A new Adopt a
Road event and the continued
program of the club assisting
employees to work on snow
and ice days to their local
hospital. There were 16 rigs
on their tree run at Christmas.
They ran into snow around
Sweethome. The club again
entered the Christmas Parade
and even though it’s a bother
it seems Paul does enjoy the
event. They are 15 to 20
families now and have a new
family that has just joined.
Junction City Jeepers: Beth
Ayer: 5 families currently are
active. Their meetings are on
Wednesday Night and their
runs are rather ad-lib.
Harney County High Desert
Wheelers: Dan Haak reported
their club has 5 local families
and 3 dual family members
with DC4WD. The OHV Park
on Radar Hill is getting a new
Kiosk and their club is assisting
in this event. The club is
adopting two areas of BLM
land. The local Recreational
Officer has decided to stay
in the area and this is a plus
for HCHDWs. Cold Springs
Road and the OHV Park are
their Adopt a Trails. Via the
web page the club attracts
4-wheelers from as far away
as Eugene. Dan and Ann are
planning on participating in
Creekn’ Trail this year. Dan
keeps busy with the Steens
Mountain Advisory Council.
Their club participated in the
Bend Christmas Parade.

I was going through some of
my 4 wheeling cabinets and
found a belt buckle that I had
bought when I was a trustee.
The buckle has never been
used and it is #134 of a
limited addition.
I don’t know if its worth
anything or if you know
anyone that might be
interested in buying this
buckle. If you do on either you
can contact me at this e-mail.
