At the new gate which they opened for us per our permit five rigs went up the
trail and four continued on to Sourdough Campground. The gate was promptly
closed behind them and relocked by the Forest Service.
A quarter of a mile from our beloved Sourdough Campground the first rig we
came to was perched on the muddy side of the hill just feet up from the
crashing river we enjoy dangling our hot sweaty toes in after the long McGrew
Trail.

Letter to the Editor:
Re: McKenzie
Harris
This is a “short” letter to all of the
PNW members with a special shoutout to the PNW President, Tacoma
Webfooters, Spanaway Moonshiners,
members of Region II, Four Wheel
Parts in Tacoma who donated a winch
to raffle at the Region II meeting and
the whole bunch of people from the
Eatonville area. McKenzie is our Great
Granddaughter, her mother Sara is our
Grand Daughter and our son Brian’s
Daughter.
As our President, Angie Marek, noted in
her President section of the Tri-Power,
Keith and I are not having a great 2014.
Our Granddaughter and her Family
were in an extremely horrific accident
on Jan. 1 on Highway 7 near 314th
at about 10:00 a.m. They were only
about a block from their house when
an oncoming truck was passing cars
like crazy and hit them head on. There
was a possible medical emergency on
the part of the oncoming driver.
The streams were gushing from the
mountain sides this year. Rarely does
one catch this peak runoff but this year
we saw the strength of water moving
and changing the mountain sides
forever as only Mother Nature can
do and does at her will. From across
the many canyons could be seen
the frothy white water as it cascades
down the very steep hillsides, far into
the canyons below. The hundreds of
steams filled the canyons below with
raging waters headed for the nearest
river miles below our trail vantage
point. Often I tried to capture this on
film but it is impossible for nature to be
filmed as it is seen standing in it. It is
a very short time yearly that the water
gush from the mountain sides but if you
get a chance to see this first hand it is
worthy of your time to do so.

There were 4 kids and 2 adults in their
truck and Sara, who was driving, tried
to turn right to get out of his way – but it
was too late. Two of the kids are nieces
of Kendal Moyer. The three kids in the
back had injuries but they weren’t lifethreatening – some broken bones, one
facial laceration that needed plastic
surgery and a few other things. It was
very traumatic for them! One of nieces
was released that day and the other
niece and our Great Grandson Wyatt
were released a few days later.
I won’t go into a lot of details about
Sara, Doug but this will focus on
our Great Granddaughter McKenzie
(7 years old). McKenzie will be a
quadriplegic, probably for life, and she
is still at Children’s Hospital in Seattle.
She has proved all the Doctors wrong
(2 or 3 times they said she was dead)
so we are betting on her to make liars
out of us, too. She will continue to
need 24 hour care for a long time to
come. The whole family appreciates
our Daughter-in-law, Amy (Brian’s
wife), staying with her 24/7 for all this
time. Hopefully, McKenzie can come
home sometime in May. We have
some great people working to build the
new rooms that McKenzie will need for
her daily care. We have had lots of our
friends (old and new) out working on
the additions.
The thanks we want to shout out is
for everyone that has worked on the
house, donated time and materials,
donated money to the Harris Family
Donation account at Key Bank and
the”YouCaring.com” web site and who
have donated time and money at the
myriad of fundraisers that have been
going on.
Again, thanks!!!

Region II
~
May has come and gone already and
the world marches on; not waiting
for me to catch up again. If wishes
would come true a good wish would
be to wake up each morning with
everything one started yesterday
checked off done the night before.
Not half done, not waiting for parts,
not out of time as fatigue overcomes
one’s mind, but done completely as
laid out and planned. With nothing left
over to do but admire a well done job
that is perfectly done. It sure would be
a good way to start one’s day off that
would be sure.
On Mother’s Day each year a trail
maintenance is done in the National
Forest west of O’Brien, Oregon. Larry
East heads it up and volunteers from
around the state meet at O’Brien
to work rain or shine. This year
Deschutes
County
4-Wheelers,
Strawberry Hill 4-Wheelers, FourRunners of Klamath- Falls, TimberCruisers from Roseburg, Oregon
and four prospect members from the
Roseburg area worked hand in hand
to clear the trail. It has become a
tradition within Region 6 for over 30
years. Larry has been doing this for
many of those years. Sometimes large
groups of smiling helpers show up and
other times not so many but the object
is the same and that is to clear Creekn-Trail from dead fall, boulders, brush
that yearns for the open trail and pick
up garbage along the route. It is a very
worthy cause and if you have never
been you should; as it is very hard to
find such an enjoyable time working
with four wheelers maintaining Class
II trails.
This year we were met by the Forest
Service they inspected our rigs at the
town of O’Brien. This was not expected
but after a while no objections were
raised by them and all were allowed
to go. At the new gate which they
opened for us per our permit five rigs
went up the trail and four continued on
to Sourdough Campground. The gate
was promptly closed behind them and
relocked by the Forest Service.
After leaving the maintained forest
road one will not leave second gear
and most of time the newer rigs will
be in first gear. It is a slow go allowing
the driver and riders a first-hand look
at the beauty this forest has to offer.
4
The forest flowers are just beginning
to bloom but some are in full bloom
such as the Dogwood Trees and their
blossoms were beautiful. There had
been a light rain that morning and the
moisture on the flowers in the sunlight
was as if a light bulb was turned on
from the inside of each. Each blossom
trying to outshine the other in the
morning sun seemed to be the order
of the day. If one was very watchful
a bright green humming bird could be
seen darting from one to the other as if
there were only moments to gather the
sweet nectars of each.
This year the dead fall was very light
on both the unmaintained forest road
and the McGrew Trail and we all made
it to Sourdough Campground around
fourish in the afternoon for some wellearned relaxation in the sun. It was
just a little bit heaven on earth as all
enjoyed the afternoon and dinners
were made.
This year the outdoor outhouses were
in good shape and needed no real
maintenance other than cleaning up
the litter left behind by others was
needed.
As always the Yahoos showed up and
things for them just went from bad to
worse. The last one to arrive attempted
to drive at full speed through a very
large mud puddle but failed to go any
further. The driver of that rig coasted to
a stop where he sat for about two hours
as they worked on it. It did start briefly
but it never ran again which meant it
would have to be towed out 21 miles
back to O’Brien over some very rough
roads.
Others started to go around boulders
placed by the Forest Service within
the campground to stop vandals from
playing within the campground. At that
time we intervened and at least playing
within the campground stopped.
The Yahoos left camp about an hour
before dark to go ‘four-wheeling’ and
we hoped they would simply disappear.
That is the problem with Yahoos they
do not just disappear. Their tracks on
the landscape do not disappear and
we the Class II community take it
solidly on the chin ever year as we lose
more trails due to them than for any
other reason. They do not care what
they destroy; either landscape, their
busted up rigs or themselves all is but
another alcohol drink or drugs or both
away from making the world a better
place to live. As if any of those things
can fix what they tear up it just aids in
their ‘stardom’ amongst their drunken
peers.
A half hour later another of the Yahoos
JUNE 2014
came limping back to camp. The
driver of that rig had no clutch but the
rider of that rig jumped out and walked
over to us asking for help. It was very
hard for our group of PNW members
to not turn our backs on him but we
had to help as his rig was hanging
on a single tree fifty feet above the
prettiest place along Creek-n-Trail.
This rig was crossing a bridge that
made up a 180 degree turn in the
road. It was hard to swallow but the
rig in the rushing waters below would
be a very bad thing and most likely
would close this trail to Class II for a
very long time.
With our combined skilled efforts
at winching the rig was quickly
recovered back onto the roadway.
About that same time another Yahoo
came walking down the road and
informed us of that the last of the
Yahoos rigs was several miles up
the road rolled over. With a whole lot
of they get what they deserved went
through the crowd we slowly made
our way up the service road which is
the only way out and it is now blocked
by a rolled over Yahoo’s rig. It was
difficult not to just leave them there till
morning but there was no other route
around them as they were in the
middle of the road which was a good
thing as the downhill side was about
150 feet before the earth would have
been found to stop the roll.
With a winch line to secure the rig to
the mountain-side a dead-man placed
just right the rig was up on all fours
again. This rig had left considerable
derbies in the roadway. We left the
six of them to clean up the damages
and to get the rig back to camp or at
least up to the top of the trail and we
returned to camp.
The problem with Yahoos is almost
always too much alcohol and drugs or
a combination of each. The thing that
is true here is it is illegal to do either
while on public lands yet nothing is
being done about it. The CFRs are
very clear that it is illegal but law
enforcement ignores it. The public
continues to pressure the policeman
on state, county, and city roads and
byways but do not pressure our public
land managers to stop the Yahoos
from using motorized vehicles on
public lands while using drugs and
alcohol. It is quite apparent that most
accidents and/or loss of life happen
when alcohol and drugs are being
abused and in most cases publicly by
the Yahoos.
Maybe as a group of like-minded
people; the PNW should become
involved and start putting adds in
our Tri-Power at least to stop Class
II users from believing drugs and
alcohol go hand in hand while four
wheeling. It is just a thought; we the
PNW members are the ones that are
losing the very trails we have worked
so hard for. In this case Region 6 has
worked for/on this trail for over 33
years. If the people that are creating
the damages are Yahoos that care
nothing about keeping trails why
would we not do everything to shut
them off our trails? I personally believe
if alcohol and drugs were not allowed
in/on public lands there would be very
few Yahoos wheeling on public lands
around our association.

I was lucky enough to get to attend the annual permitted Mother’s Day Weekend cleanup of the McGrew Trail out of O’Brien Oregon.
Harlan White better known by Doc from the Timber Cruisers of Umpqua Valley
as he readies his trusty flat fender.
What do you do when a stranger wanders through camp rambling about two
rollovers and you are 25 miles from town?
Region 6 jumped into action as we ran the trail backwards to the two rollovers.
We noticed on the way back out of the tail the next morning all evidence of
rollovers had been removed just the tracks of the unfortunate day’s events were
remaining.
At the new gate which they opened for us per our permit five rigs went up the
trail and four continued on to Sourdough Campground. The gate was promptly
closed behind them and relocked by the Forest Service.
A quarter of a mile from our beloved Sourdough Campground the first rig we
came to was perched on the muddy side of the hill just feet up from the
crashing river we enjoy dangling our hot sweaty toes in after the long McGrew
Trail.
The hundreds of steams filled the canyons below with raging waters headed for
the nearest river miles below our trail vantage point. Often I tried to capture this
on film but it is impossible for nature to be filmed as it is seen standing in it. It is a
very short time yearly that the water gush from the mountain sides but if you get a
chance to see this first hand it is worthy of your time to do so. The McGrew Trail

Wasn’t hard to see what had been the best of this little rig as his tire tracks
swelled the high bank and the results were evident as the rig laid on her hood.

their choice if they want to give out
trophies.
Dirty 13 has volunteered
to BBQ the food and the Region will
reimburse Dirty 13 for the food up to
$350.00. Tamers will run the gate and
help with set up. It was decided that
any vendors that agree to participate

Tillamook
State Forest
work party
PNW4WDA region 3 hosted a work
party in the Tillamook State Forest in
May. We had a great turnout! Many
clubs worked together on this project.
We were supported by Flat Broke N
Four Wheelin, Bri and Bub Off Road,
Hubs In 4 Wheelers, Jolly Jeepers,
Just Wheelin', Bronco Hazard, and
Bonney Motorsports.
35 people donated 124 volunteer hours
that day. Our project for the day was
to widen an existing quad trail to class
II width. The trail is Waldo's Way; 16c
on the map. We made quick work
of our project due to the equipment
that showed up.
We had a mini excavator, a bobcat, a
dump trailer, and several chainsaws at
our disposal thanks to the group effort.
We are so lucky to have the forestry
service on our side in Tillamook. Many
areas are losing trails. All we needed
was some volunteers to say they
would show up and get it done. I look
forward to many more!
Thanks!
Teresa

2014 Off Road
Motorsports Hall of
Fame
The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame
(ORMHOF) announces today the 2014
Class of Inductees. Del Albright, David
Ashley, Marty Fiolka, the late Nye
Frank, and Bill Sanders will have their
names added to the venerable list of
those who have committed their lives
to the off-road community.
The five Inductees' widespread
accomplishments cover a number
of arenas in the sport including
off-road racing, and acting as
pioneers of the industry, journalism
and
advocacy.
Their
legacies
will be celebrated and displayed
for the public, in Gallery Four within
the famed National Automobile
Museum - the Harrah Collection- located
in Reno, Nevada. They join names
synonymous with the sport including
Parnelli Jones, Malcolm Smith, Rob
MacCachren, Larry Roeseler, Walker
Evans, and Rod Hall, as well as many
others who have worked tirelessly
behind the scenes to make the sport
prosper and grow.
The Induction Class was chosen by an
eighteen-member voting panel on the
basis of significant contribution to offroad motorsports- beyond wins and
sport affiliation.
All nominees must have at least fifteen
years of experience and involvement,
as well as have built, designed,
driven, maintained, owned, prepared,
piloted, promoted, or ridden an offroad vehicle or supported the off-road
industry. They are characterized by
their desire to win, the mastery of
their field, and their courage to
innovate. Each Inductee has made a
significant contribution to off-road
motorsports in at least one of the
following aspects: Business, History,
Design, Engineering, Prestige of the
Sport, and/or Growth of the Sport.
This year's Induction Ceremonies will
introduce a new venue, as the Inductees
will be honored Sunday, November 2,
2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the
South Point Hotel and Casino. For
further information, visit the ORMHOF
website: www.ormhof.org or email at

Del Albright has shared 33 years of
wisdom, knowledge of leadership, and
supervision to help keep public lands
open to the public. He has spent time
working on trails, attending meetings,
writing letters, joining and starting
organizations, and meeting with
legislators to effectively save access to
public lands. While he is known for
doing all of these things, in addition
to being the ambassador for the Blue
Ribbon Coalition, his most significant
contribution to off-road motorsports
sets him apart from others in land-use
because he educates and mentors
the OHV community. His extensive
background in leadership, supervision,
and management has allowed him to
mentor many other land-use advocates
through
Recreational
Leadership
Training courses, as well as Volunteer
Leader and Land Stewardship classes.
Del has also mentored smaller
groups, such as 4x4 clubs, as well as
"Friends of" organizations that have
modeled themselves after the Friends of
the Rubicon, which Del was a principal
founder of many years ago.

David Ashley as been engaged in
off-road motorsports for 43 years. He
has successfully raced motorcycles,
buggies, off-road trucks, and stadium
vehicles. His career started as a young
man, when he won a gold medal for
the United States (and his Yamaha
sponsor), in the Six Day Trials in
Austria. At age 18, Dave was involved
in a tragic head-on collision that
ended in a fatality. This accident
inspired Dave to vow to make off-road
racing a safer sport. In his pursuit of
safety, he chaired the drivers' safety
meetings for many of his races, as well
as worked with race promoters to avoid
hidden hazards. He also worked with
many less experienced drivers, sharing
techniques to avoid problems. Dave
took his passion for safety to vehicle
manufacturers and, for the last
22 years, he has worked with the
transmission, safety, engine, chassis
development, motorsports and special
vehicle teams of Ford Motor Company,
as a consultant in their testing, research,
and development efforts. Dave's
current assignments include: testdriving for the Safety Rollover Airbag
Sensor team, building the Raptor Race
Vehicle for international competition,
and working for Roush, as the manager
for Ford Off-Road Track Safety.
Marty Fiolka's involvement in off-road
motorsports demonstrates a broad
reach with his ability to intermix public
relations,
marketing,
journalism,
broadcasting and other expertise into
one effective representation for the
off-road industry. Marty is well known
for his ability to perform extensive
research, publishing his first book
"1000 Miles to Glory", and writing
countless articles for Dirt Sports
magazine. He was also the Associate
Producer for the movie Dust to Glory and
now Executive Producer for the Baja
Social Club. He has been instrumental
in preserving the history of the sport,
in many areas like organizing a
parade of historic race vehicles from
Tijuana to Ensenada as part of the 40th
Anniversary of the Baja 1000; helping
to re-launch the legendary Meyers
Manx, and supporting Mr. Meyers to
race his final race in 2014; and
growing the new NORRA vintage rally
movement. Marty continues to build
an off-road motorsports legacy, with a
number of ongoing projects that will
further document and celebrate the
sport.
overbearing rules that suffocate many
forms of traditional racing. He led
the way in new concepts in all aspects
of the sport.
Bill Sanders was one of the original
editors of Four Wheeler Magazine;
he lifted the sport from obscurity to
the public recognition, by faithfully
covering nearly every off-road race of
significance from Baja to Las Vegas.
When it came to the building of the
industry, Bill and Four Wheeler offered
story after story on manufacturers
struggling to gain recognition. He
worked on the human interest aspect
as well, by doing feature articles on
the drivers who engaged in the
major races, and promoting many
who are now fellow ORMHOF
Inductees.
Besides being involved
with the monthly magazine, Sanders
took time to become a real off-road
racer. He was able to find help to
build a Toyota FJ, which he ran in
the 1973 Mexican 1000 resulting
in a Class 3 victory; it was the first
Toyota vehicle to win in the Baja. Bill
helped to grow off-road motorsports
into a sport with worldwide recognition
during the early years of off-road
racing, and provided a place for those
who were also supporting the sport to
showcase their work.
2014 Induction Ceremony
"Celebrate the past. Be part of the
future."
ORMHOF is proud to announce that
this year's Ceremony will take place at
a new venue, on a new date. Please

Nye Frank's successful career as a
designer and car builder proved that he
had a unique and comprehensive
understanding of performance from conception to completion- of
not only vehicle development, but
also the planning and strategy
needed to win races. His work with
shock absorbers in the 80's was
far ahead of its time. He is best
known for his innovative use of air
shocks with the Mazda program in
Mickey
Thompson
Entertainment
Group and later with Rob MacCachren
in SODA and CORR. Many of the
concepts Nye created have now
been adopted by the industry, such
as his approach to suspension tuning
and the relationship between springs
and shocks to form a complete
suspension. He also designed and
built a Pro4 truck for MacCachren
with an unheard of and unconventional
four corner air-shock system; the team
was so dominating that CORR outlawed
the suspension, after MacCachren's
team captured three consecutive Borg
Warner trophies and several season
championships. Nye was drawn to
off-road racing because of the lack of

LIBERTY VALLEY AREA
Monday May 19th Dale Neuman, Earl Nettnin, Kevin McMains,
Mike Dolfay and USFS employee Dave McMains were reviewing a
reroute on 4wd 322 trail in Liberty area. We saw and reported blue
smoke in the Liberty valley area. Leaving the project area to get a
better view and location of the fire, we drove up several spur roads
not seeing the fire. Driving down to Liberty and passing and talking
with forest service fire crew we turned around and found the fire.
The fire crew did not see the fire and continued up the road. We
contacted Dave McMains to let him know the crew had passed the
fire. Dale, Earl, Kevin and Mike walked up to the fire with tools in
hand.

BRC Signs On To
Participate In “Idaho
Gives” Day –
Your Donation Could
Be Worth More!
POCATELLO, ID (April 30, 2014 )
- The BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC),
a leading advocate for recreational
access to public lands, announces its
official participation in the Idaho NonProfit Center's second annual "Idaho
Gives" day, which will take place on
May 1, 2014. The Center hopes to
build on the success of last year's
inaugural, statewide giving blitz, which
raised nearly $600,000 for hundreds
of nonprofits in a 24-hour period.
"Last year's debut of Idaho Gives
generated a tremendous outpouring of
support from people all around Idaho,
who gave hundreds of thousands
of dollars to support more than 400
causes from across the state," said
Lynn Hoffmann, Executive Director of
the Idaho Nonprofit Center. "This year,
we hope to reach even more people
by broadening and amplifying our call
to support Idaho's nonprofits, spurring
donors into action on May 1."
The event largely takes place online,
driven by a central idahogives.org web
site, where donors can learn about
and designate funds for nonprofits in a
number of categories, including arts &
culture, children & youth, environment,
humanitarian aid, education, animals,
and religious organizations.
Idaho Gives is not just any fundraising
day. Event sponsors have contributed
money for a pool of match and prize
funds, such that throughout the day
organizations and donors will have
the opportunity to multiply donations
through hourly competitions, random
drawings, and other giving incentives.
There are over $50,000 in cash
prizes at stake for the non-profit
organizations involved. These prizes
can help your donation dollars go
farther. Your $25 could become
$1,025. 2014 Award Pool Details.
This event is an awesome opportunity
for folks that recreate on Idaho's many
public lands to contribute to BRC's
efforts to protect their access to those
areas and many others across the
nation.
It's quick and easy. Just click HERE
to participate. Interested parties
won't have to wait until May 1, either.
They can get started supporting their
recreational access immediately. Any
such "Early Bird" contributions will
not be processed until May 1, but are
eligible for the Early Bird Prize.
For more information on Idaho Gives
day, visit www.idahogives.org, or find
Idaho Gives on Facebook and Twitter.

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.
