We feel that it was beneficial
that we attended the meeting.
We were able to share what is
working in the PNW because
of our member’s untiring
efforts. Since the PNW was
one of the founders of United,
we felt it very important to
be involved in the complete
remake of United.
With the bylaws that passed
it will be exciting to see how
the Board handles the SOPs
and the input from the member
organizations. The Board has
promised to have the voting
structure completed and to the
members by September. As
we have the information we
will send it immediately.

There were a possible 113
votes and the bylaws passed
with 106 yes votes. Montana
was the only opposing
votes. The newly approved
bylaws are available at

Inter Association Directors
A vote of confidence was
taken supporting the Business
Plan and the Marketing Plan.
The final day of the United
Annual Meeting was reserved
for the Annual Land Use
Seminar. This year’s seminar
was a different format than
in the past. Those present
shared what was working in
their organization as well as
their frustrations.
was held in Grand Junction,
Colorado in late July. On
the first day of the meeting,
the delegates from member
organizations caucused to
discuss the proposed bylaws.
Bill Burke, Four Wheeling
America,
facilitated
the
meeting.
The focus of the discussion
was on these three items:
1) voting, 2) Board of
Directors control and 3) dues
(organization involvement).
An ad hoc committee was
formed to rewrite the wording
for the items the delegates
discussed. The new proposed
bylaws were passed with the
following changes:
• Added the Director of
Environmental Affairs
• Organization member
shall be authorized
votes, based on the
number of individual
members
declaring
affiliation with that
organization using a
graduated scale as
provided in the SOPs.
(The Board will write
the SOPs)
• The meeting notice
shall
meet
the
requirements of the
state where United
is
incorporated.
(United is currently
incorporated
in
Indiana but that will
change—probably to
Virginia)
• Established guidelines
for calling a special
meeting.
• Added
proceedings
not covered by the
Bylaws, SOPs will be
covered by Roberts
Rules of Order
• Expenditures
in
excess of an amount
set forth in the SOPs
will require dual party
approval between the
Administrative Officer
and the Treasurer or
4
The message delivered
by the Board of Directors
supported the facts that for
United to continue United
must become an individual
based membership and the
dues must increase. Failure
to support the proposed
bylaws, business plan and
marketing plan would be
the beginning of the end for
United. The current number
of members in United is 7,615.
Organizations are not growing
so United must go to individual
memberships to increase their
membership.
Tim Gilman, B.F Goodrich
Top Trails, presented the 5 top
trails for 2007. The program
will continue for 2008.
The Officers that were
elected were: Peter Varhy,
International
VP;
Gene
Ockert, Vice-president; Trish
Groom, Treasurer; and Todd
Ockert, Environmental Affairs
Director. They join President
Wayne Groom and Director
of
Membership
Melissa
Simmons.
The office of
Director of Public Relations is
open.
United has hired the
following professional staff;
Carla Boucher, Attorney and
Legislative Advocate, Marti
Pugh, Business Development
Manager,
and
Amanda
Cottrell, Administrative Officer.
Each organization was
given time to report on
what is happening in their
organization. Most all struggle
with declining membership
and the challenges of working
with various National Forests.

United Four Wheel
Drive Land Use
Seminar
There are growing
environmental
arguments
against 4X4 use therefore
we as organized users need
to do a better job of public
relations. We need better
public relations skills to get
our message out. Get the
message to the mass media
that the way they portray 4X4
activities can damage our
image.

Highway Vehicle Conservation
Council) has a large library
with lots and lots of online

Bill Burke gave a
presentation detailing his
work with the various Forest
Service districts that he
does business with. Burke
is an experienced and well
known trail guide presenting
seminars to land managers,
organizations, police and
sheriff’s departments and the
military. Nearly all of Burke’s
events require permits and
environmental assessments.
Burke stressed the importance
of remembering: “the Forest
Service is monitoring YOUR
website so be careful what
you put on it.
One of the issues discussed
asked the question, “Where
are the people to carry the
torch?” How do we get the
SEPTEMBER 2007
younger generation involved?
One of the issues we are all
facing is this is our recreation
and it seems to be turning out
to be work. The yahoos are
out doing damage to the trails
and land managers call the
organized users to help repair
the damage. After a while it is
all work and no recreation.
Tread Lightly! has failed
in it’s original mission. It was
formed to be a watchdog but
no longer does that. Many
organizations are now using
“Tread Smart!”
One of the member
organizations
has
been
having trouble with their
forum and the pictures posted
there. Some of the pictures
are being used on anti-access
websites. Be aware of what is
posted on your website.

In May, we had a booth in
the ATV & Off Road Expo in
Portland, Oregon. A lot went
on at that 2-day show. We
handed out 3000 pieces of
literature including Tri Powers;
Who and What We Are; Tri
Folds; Oregon OHV maps and
rule books; flyers for playdays
and other events; Operation
Shore Patrol information;
handouts from Yakima County;
Warn
information;
Tread
Lightly and Blue Ribbon; and
maps. We answered a lot of
questions and referred people
to the proper destinations. We
already have been registered
for the 2008 show. We also
gained an individual member
and an Association Member.
Most of the organizations are
working on completing trail
inventories, identifying roads
and unmaintained roads for
the Forest Service Travel
Management Planning.
Todd Ockert is the
newly elected Director of
Environmental Affairs. Todd
is from California but started
out his Navy career at
Whidbey Island spending 14
years in the beautiful Pacific
Northwest.
Todd’s father
Gene is the newly elected
Vice-president of United.
Each of our State Directors
will receive a booklet from the
United Land Action Fund. The
booklet contains information
and a form for applying for
a grant from the Fund. Also
included are the details
and application forms for
the Harold Brown Memorial
Scholarship Fund. We will
ask that the State Directors
share the information with
their Region Directors.
The Land Use Seminar was
valuable in the information
sharing and worth the time
spent. Discussions were lively
and it was evident the passion
those attending have for their
recreation.
Todd is willing to help any
organization that requests it.
Please feel free to contact us
if you have any questions.

In July we had a booth at the
first Longview OHV Show,
hosted by Region 3.
It
was an informational show.
Vehicles were on display
from members of Region 3 as
well as friends of the Region.
We handed out almost 1200
pieces of literature at this
show. I understand there have
been a few inquiries as to
membership. We have been
asked to put another show on
next year.
Region 4 had a show and I
understand that it was a great
success. Good work Kelda!
This month Operation Shore
Patrol will take place the
weekend of September 15th.
This is the 36th year of cleaning
litter from the Washington
coastline. News releases will
go out soon.
I have been working with our
Ways and Means chair, Frogg
McMains, to come up with
some inexpensive giveaways
to use at shows and events in
the future.
I also now am storing Who
and What We Are’s and Tri
Folds here in Longview. If you
have a need for either, please
contact me.
On a personal note, thank you
for all your kind thoughts when
I lost my brother recently. It
has been a rough year!

As the recreational use of
our public lands increase so
does the pressure on land
and recreation managers;
establishing a strong working
relationship with them is
important. The Forest Service
has acknowledged that off
highway vehicle recreation is
appropriate on public lands
and with this it is up to us to
make our presence known and
show good stewardship can
be achieved by working with
well established and organized
user groups. There is a
continued need for managed
land agencies to provide for
more recreational opportunities
and with a greater public and
user group involvement and
collaboration.

Correction on the
Naches Forest
Service Trailer.
The trailer was worked on
by the Shindig Wheelers of
Yakima. It was worked on at
Sid Hagemeier’s shop. There
are about 169 combined hours
of labor into it. These hours
are turned into the PNW4WDA
and Naches Ranger District.
These hours go toward
getting grants to keep trails
open. The four-wheel drive
clubs that donated to the
trailer were the Lower Valley
Canyon Crawlers, Shindig
Wheelers, Timberwolves, and
Yakima Valley Mountaineers.
The trailer is for use on the
four-wheel drive trails we use
and volunteer to maintain.
Don’t forget to turn in any
volunteer hours you have
to the PNW and the district
you are volunteering in. This
includes picking up litter on
trail, cleaning debris on trail,
giving directions to others on
trail, etc.

WEB SITE: We have paid the

really isn’t going to be able to

LAND MATTERS:
Doug reported that currently
a fire closure is in affect at
Juniper Dunes.
Juniper
Dunes has been getting
some coverage in the TriCity Herald.
One of the
reporters wrote a big article
about the land owner that
wants the road to himself,
however, after some research
by Doug it has come to our
attention that the fellow who
wants to close the road isn’t
listed on the tax assessors’
website as owning any land
along Peterson Road. Doug
has written letters to the
editor of the paper as well
as the BLM requesting that
they do further checking on
the ownership of the land.
Doug also reported that he
had attended a meeting with
Congressman Doc Hastings,
3 representatives from the
BLM and 2 from Franklin
County and that access to
Juniper Dunes was the topic,
however, it seemed mostly to
bring Congressman Hastings
up to speed on the access
issue. Commissioners from
2 different counties went to
Washington D.C. to meet with
the acting head of the BLM.
Access to Juniper Dunes
was to have been one of the
topics. Doug says, “time will
tell”.
Ron Rutherford reported on
the issues around the land
exchange. He attended the
July 19th meeting regarding
the land swap in the Ahtanum
area.
Shawn Monte has
backed out of the land swap,
but the Ahtanum Irrigation is
still in so they will proceed
with the swap but it will be
next year before it is final.
Earl reported on the July 26th
meeting on the North Fork
Ahtanum Land Exchange.
The meeting started promptly
at 6:30 PM and was over at
6:45 PM.

Earl also reported that we
may have an opportunity for
some snow travel in the Blue
Mountains.
Larry Randall
with the Walla Walla Ranger
District has said that he is
open to sitting down with
the 4-wheelers to discuss
the possibilities.
We are
in the process of getting a
representative from the Blue
Mt. 4-Wheelers to be on this
committee.
Earl also stated that some
meetings on the travel plan had
been held in the Naches and
the CleElum Ranger District.
Doug attended the one in
the Naches and his comment
was that it was very informal.
Maps were on the wall and no
one was really able to answer
questions.
Ron Rutherford
has been talking monthly with
Sue Ranger and Mike Rowan
about the travel plan, to be
sure that our trails are on the
map. They assured him that
there would be a time to do
this, however, when he asked
at the meeting on August 9th,
he was told that it had been
done last winter. The rangers
indicated that this is how it
was going to start. Ron said
he told them that he was not
happy with the way things had
gone down and asked where
he could send his comments.
They said well, they were just
here that day to show where
things were at the moment
and really didn’t give him an
answer. Ron will keep after
them. No maps were available
only the ones hanging on the
wall.
The Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest Travel Management
Plan comment period has
been extended until November
16, 2007. Information about it
and the management process
is available on the web at

Comments on the Evans
Creek ORV Area Management
Plan have been compiled and
sent out.
Earl received the
8 page document with all the
comments that were received
as a result of the public
meeting on June 28, 2007.
Al Matson reported that he had
received a copy of the White
Pass expansion plan, and that
4-Wheelin’ News
it weighed 18 pounds. Not
sure what the outcome will
be yet.
Earl received a letter from
David C. Schmitt, Team
Leader for Blue Mountains
Forest Plan Revision Team
stating that the United States
District
Court,
Northern
District of CA, ruled on March
30, 2007, that the Forest
Service’s adoption of the 2005
National Forest System Land
Management Planning Rule
violated the Administrative
Procedures Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act,
and the Endangered Species
Act.
As a result of this
everything is on hold until
they can figure out what kind
if act they can follow to make
the plan usable.
The Naches Ranger District is
looking for letters of support
for their 2008 grants that
they have applied for through

4 trail reconstruction has
received funding in the
amount of $29,450 from IAC
and $35,514 from sponsor
contributions for a total
of $64,964.
Earl had an
opportunity to talk to a couple
of the trail crew and they said
that one of the bridges was in
and material for the 2nd bridge
had been hauled in and they
are widening that track into
the bridge. They are working
on this as time permits and
when they need our help,
they will call and schedule a
work party.
DNR meetings in Ellensburg
probably will resume in
October because of the fires.
They are very interested in
what we as users would like
to see in the Ahtanum area.
Ron Rutherford is working
very hard to make the DNR
aware of our wants.
WORK PARTIES:

you are interested in helping.
OLD BUSINESS:
A report on the Rock Crawl
that was held June 23 in
Yakima and sponsored by
Steve Standley of TRUX Etc.
was given by the Shindig
Wheelers. This was a huge
success and Steve made a
very large donation to Region
4 to show his appreciation for
all the help. He plans to make
this an annual event. Once
again Earl thanked TRUX and
the Shindig Wheelers for this
much needed activity.
Trail Jamboree was a success
and well attended. One jeep
rolled, the driver and his
passenger were not hurt, just
shook up a bit and had some
bruises.
Pam Remley had suggested
that we try to put together
something like Operation
Shore Patrol. She volunteered
to head it up.
We have
several lakes on this side of
the mountains and maybe we
could find an area that needs
cleaning up. We can think
about this for next year as
everyone felt we didn’t have
enough time to organize it this
year. It could be held the 3rd
week in September.
Corn Feed this year has been
cancelled for lack of a place to
hold it since the Ridgerunners
no longer have the Jeep
Bowl.
Nominations were opened
for most inspirational in
Region 4. Kelda Hagemeier
was nominated by
Doug
Conner seconded by Ron
Rutherford.
Hearing no
further nominations they
were closed and a unanimous
ballot was cast for Kelda.
Congratulations and thanks
for all your hard work. Trophy
will be presented at the
September Region meeting.
NEW BUSINESS: None at
this time.
FUTURE MEETINGS: Fall
Delegates, September 8 in
Longview, WA at the Cowlitz
PUD sponsored by the

very slow. However, some did
attend Summer Convention at

Nomads and friends
had
a camp out July 22 – 24 at
Rimrock, they ran some trails
did some trail maintenance
and education.
Ron
Rutherford attended the saw

was very worthwhile.
Ron

Little Naches and ran several
trails. Their annual swap meet
will be September 9 at Mobile
Fleet Service in Yakima.
They may have a camp out
in the Ahtanum sometime in
September.
Roamin’ Chariots:
Kirk
Kirkpatrick and Gary Kasowski
were the support vehicle for a
car in the Great Race. Their
car finished 5th in the rookie
class out of 18. Kirk also got
to ride in a Nascar at Lowes

Chariots went on a camping trip
and jeep runs with the Jeepin’

They are looking forward to
attending the Jeepin’ Nomads
swap meet in September.
Ridgerunners:

in September with the Good
Time 4-Wheelers and friends
at Region 4 Meadows.
Shindig Wheelers: had their
annual Leaning Tree cleanup,
and at the same time some of
their members went to Oregon
for Creek & Trail. Before Trail
Jamboree some of their club
had a run to Liberty with the
Deschutes 4-Wheelers. They
were hosts at Trail Jamboree
and on Thursday’s pre-run
was a true abuse day for the
Shindig Wheelers, 5 out of the
8 on the run broke for one or
two reasons. All turned out
well and a good time was
had by all. TRUX was their
sponsor. August 11th they had
a run to Rimrock with the Jolly
Jeepers from Oregon. They
went to Memorial Meadows
and Blue Slide trail, Sid was
leading and was the only one
with a chain saw and Kelda
reported that they cleared
about 57 trees. On the way
back they had some tire
problems. Back at camp they
had a potluck and watched the
video of the days run. Sunday
Sid took everyone on a “short”
run. They were to have been
back at 1 PM only they didn’t
quite make it, it was 3 PM,
not bad for Sid’s “short” run.
They are planning on going to
Rimrock over Labor Day and
they plan to attend the White
Knuckle swap meet and the
Jeepin’ Nomads swap meet.
They voted in 3 new members
and have 2 more candidates.

and some as participants.
Some of our members went
on an Alaska trip with motor
homes only.
They were
gone 6 ½ weeks and went
6,500 miles.
Some went
to Montana’s Divide Ride
in Whitehall. We plan to
launch Sprint Boats August
18. This will be the last race
of the season and will be at
night. Racing starts at 5 PM.
A run to Sleepy Park has
been called over Labor Day
weekend. We will be helping
the Dust Dodgers with their
annual motor cycle race in
Rimrock lake in October .

HUMMER Supports
World-Famous
Rubicon Trail
DETROIT - For the second
consecutive year, HUMMER
supports Friends of the
Rubicon (FOTR), with a $5,000
donation to provide materials,
food and tools for the hundreds
of volunteers who work with
the organization to maintain
the Rubicon.
Friends of the Rubicon is an
informal coalition of groups
and individuals dedicated
to keeping the one of the
world’s most famous off-road
destinations, the Rubicon
Trail open and available to offroaders.
“HUMMER has proven itself
to be a significant partner in
keeping the Rubicon Trail alive
and well, says Del Albright,
Friends of the Rubicon founder
and trail boss. Albright, who
has led FOTR for seven
years through his affiliation
with the BlueRibbon Coalition

said
that HUMMER has supported
the organization like no other
manufacturer.
In 2006, HUMMER became
the first and only automotive

support
Friends of the Rubicon.
“The Rubicon Trail is extremely
important to HUMMER. Our
owners use it for recreation,
while HUMMER engineers
use the trail to test the
capabilities of our products,”
says Martin Walsh, HUMMER
General Manager. “It is our
responsibility to ensure the
future of off-roading remains
a viable hobby for off-road
enthusiasts around the globe.”
In addition to supporting FOTR,
HUMMER actively promotes
organizations that promote
environmental education and
trail restoration.

Trail Jamboree
2007 Report
From the
“Jeepers”!
eyes
of
new
We attempted to sign up for
Trail Jam on opening day of
registration. By 4:00 PM all
of the slots were full. There
was an option in the event of a
cancellation and we signed up
hoping we would get a spot.
We were very lucky, got the
cancellation call a couple of
weeks before the event and
immediately said “Yes”.
As this was our first “big,
organized run” we had no
idea of what to expect. But
with encouragement from
Dick and Judy Williams and
the kindness of their family
and friends who had attended
for many years…..We had a
blast!!
We
left
Spokane
on
Wednesday and followed Dick
respect for the environment is
admirable.
of the locals accessing the
VERY swift River in “flotation
devices” that were barely
adequate for the job. With the
very hot weather, they were all
intent on getting into the cool
water most without life vests
and some without oars, but as
far as we know, they all had a
safe landing!
Dick and Judy made dinner for
us and as usual…..delicious.
We left the next morning
stopping in Yakima for last
minute necessities and ICE!!
It was hot and getting hotter.
We loaded up and headed to
the campground.
We arrived and were amazed
by the number of Recreational
Vehicles,
Jeeps
and
4
wheelers that were in the
process of assembling. With
amazing organization…. We
entered the campground,
signed in, received our
information packet, identifying
wrist bands, prize tickets and
many warm greetings.
We
We went on three runs. Day
one was Rocky Saddle.
We kept getting comments
regarding our street tires.
Would they be enough to
make it through the rocks,
hills, mud and water? We
wondered too, when the first
hill (mountain) was straight up,
very steep and lots of loose
shale and rocks. Art set the
lockers, went into 4 wheel
drive and low gear, I covered
my eyes and did some deep
breathing……and up we went
without a hitch. We spent the
day going up and down rocky
hills and steep trails on the
street tires without a hitch!! A
perfect first day.
The second day we did Kaner
Quartz. I wanted very much
to see if I could manage
driving. With great reservation
and much encouragement
from my man…..I gave it a
try....On those same street
tires. We went through mud,
water, “the knife blade” a very
narrow road on the crest of
a mountain overlooking Mt
Rainier, The Squeeze” and
never once backed up to
make a turn….Which I found
out gave you extra “points”! I
was so stoked that I am trying
to talk Art into painting my side
of the Jeep PINK. That would
be the driver’s side of course!
The third day we shared
the driving and had another
beautiful run though the
narrow shady trails of the
Cascades. More holes, mud,
water, rocks, narrow slots and
steep climbs.
Another day
that the street tires did the job!
We were accompanied by
our personal Jack Russell tail
gunner Beau, who alerted us
of impending chipmunk and
squirrel attacks! That little
Russell loves Jeeping too!
and Judy to a rest stop on the
Yakima River…..We had a
nice spot where we saw many
4-Wheelin’ News
parked with Dick’s family and
long time friends, and we were
immediately welcomed by all.
This event has us totally
hooked on the Jeeping
experience. Not only because
One last note regarding the
trip home……Joel from North
Idaho Trail Blazers found
himself with two vehicles to
drive back to Rathdrum Idaho.
One of those vehicles was
a White TJ like ours. Well
almost because “she” had
a Poison Spyder Roll Cage,
6” lift kit, B & M short throw
shifter, a Warn winch, 33 inch
tires, Ox Locker and custom
seats. I said “almost” like
ours!! Lucille and I got along
quite well on our trip back to
Spokane where her owner
picked her up…..Art is happy
of Jeeping, but the amazing
organization of Trailjam. The
friendly people who included
everyone.
The food, the
prizes, the dancing and friends
that we look forward to seeing
next year.
that I MIGHT understand
future purchases he MAY
make!
We also learned the importance
of PNW4. Many people have
spent endless hours of time,
money and energy to make
roads available for public use.
There determination to find
new and keep existing roads
opens, coupled with their
designated time so you are
sure to get a spot…..We’ll be
there without a doubt.
So mark your calendar for
next years run. And be sitting
by your computer at the
Mary and Art Crane
And Beau
~
Every run had excellent
leaders and assistants (three
or more on each run) who
knew where everyone was,
and if there were breakdowns,
there were more mechanics
available than a all the Jeep
Dealers in the state have on
hand!
If repairs could not be made
on site, one of the assistants
would get them back to camp
safely.
