President
March 2014
Winter Convention is a memory and
what a memory it is… Region III did
a wonderful job hosting the 2014
meeting and banquet. I was the lucky
winner of the beautiful quilt being
made by Kristen Smith. Thank you
to everyone who supported the event
and to the 4 Wheel Parts and 2 Dogs
Ink who set up vending displays in the
foyer. The weather was quite exciting
as the Portland/Vancouver area
received a fair amount of snow and
ice. At this time the bid is open for any
clubs and/or regions who would like
to host 2015 Convention. Please give
me a call or email me at the contact
information listed under officers.
Reservations for the 25th Trail
Jamboree went on sale at 8am
Monday, February 17th and were full
by early evening. If you did not get
registered and would like to attend
please send an email with your
contact information to trailjamreserv
[email protected] to be placed
on the waiting list. Over the next few
months I will be talking about all the
fun activities that are planned so be
watching for more information.
With all the snow I have seen several
postings of rescues in the mountains.
Please remember to never go alone
and make sure you have supplies just
in case. Special recognition to those
clubs who have volunteered their
services to find the lost and stuck
vehicles.
The summer competition schedule is
out and it looks to be a full summer
of fun. Between racing, trails and
work parties there will be something
to fill your weekends. Check out the
calendar of events so you can plan
your vacations.
The Spanaway Moonshiners Swap
Meet will be held in Puyallup, WA on
March 9th. Make sure you stop by the
PR/Ways n’ Means booth to see the
latest items available. If you miss the
booth you can shop through the online
store available on the website. Our
guest speaker at Winter Convention
was David Banis from Portland State
University. They are currently working
on roads/trails/usage on the Olympic
Peninsula. They will have a table at
the Moonshiners Swap Meet set up
to gather information on motorized
recreation in the area. Please take
a minute and stop by their table and
mark on the map where you recreate.
If we do nothing we lose so please
participate.
Your clubs should have received your
membership cards, if not contact
Kristen Smith (membership) and she
can assist you. There were some
server issues just prior to Winter
Convention so it was decided to mail
the cards after the event.
Last but not least I want to say a
huge “THANK YOU” for re-electing
me as your president. I love this
Association and believe in what it
stands for. I am honored to be able
to represent you.
Till next time,
Angie Marek

Randy Drake
Oregon Exec. Director
Oregon Executive Director for
another year but next year it will
be time to change. It is important
to find a new leader I am pretty
sure of that. New ideas and more
heart are needed to move the
State of Oregon forward. One just
needs an enthusiasm for Class II
OHVs and a strong desire to see
them throughout the public lands of
Oregon. All that is really needed is a
strong desire to see new trails and
places to wheel, race, rock crawl,
and to drive slowly across the lands
of Oregon with no particular place to
go but forward against all obstacles
placed naturally by nature. With the
windshield down and a light breeze
blowing gently through the Class II
vehicle and your favorite companion
sitting beside you with like thoughts.
A love for Class II OHVs that is deep
within your veins that no human can
take from you. So if you need a little
tutoring I will help all I can to make
you the next Oregon Executive
Director for 2015.
Time is difficult to find and save up
but with a little luck I will find the
time to fill this position one more
year and not disappoint many along
the way. If you would like to help out
this year I would accept all you can
give. Thank you for allowing me this
one last opportunity to serve you in
Oregon.
Wilderness characteristics study
litigated and has been forced on
SE Oregon’s BLM is going to be
the reigning and reining factor in the
upcoming resource management
plans of the BLM. This web site
http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/vale/
plans/inventas.php reveals how
the study dictates over 80% of
Malheur County as/is ‘wilderness
characteristics’. It doesn’t matter if
the landscape has been burned by
wild fire, eroded by nature, infested
with noxious and invasive weeds,
scarred by mining, or is a current
road: the anti-access groups are
saying it is ok for wilderness. It is all
of sudden all the land in use or idle is

Continued from page 4
Lava rocks form rims and they present a perfect playground
ok for wilderness. If someone within
their group feels its “whatever”
(and believe you me they all
have feelings) it’s designated as
wilderness characteristics on their
say-so. With wilderness in its
title you know what I’m thinking
and the main factor here is city
people believe anything outside
of city limits is wilderness and it
needs protected as man is running
rampant destroying all the pristine
landscape. This fact is not true
but our anti-access groups are
promoting this as a tool to close
the American motoring public from
public lands no matter how untrue
it is. There are millions of acres that
are wilderness and they have been
set aside and they get less than 3-7
percent of user per year of the total
population. We just do not need
more wildernesses in the United
States. It deteriorates the landscape
by disallowing response and quick
response to management.
The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) is in the process of revising
the Resource Management Plans
(RMP) for western Oregon. These
2.5 million acres have an important
role to the social, economic, and
ecological well-being of western
Oregon, as well as to the greater
American public. The public
meetings will come out hopefully
in March so pay attention to
your e-mail in box as if you have
commented that is where they will
post up. Otherwise I will post up
as I learn the dates. This should
be a very short comment period.
If no comments from families of
SUV’s and buggies and no Class
II operators attend these meetings;
your Class II vehicles will not be a
part of the 2.5 million acres of BLM
lands.
Stephanie A. Beall for those of you
who love Tillamook and are lucky
enough to get to run the trails:
Stephanie Beall has posted up the
many things concerning Class II
OHVs on Tillamook State Forest’s
web-site at: http://www.oregon.gov/
odf/tillamookstateforest/pages/
ohvtrails.aspxt This includes the
new 2014 OHV Map for Browns
Camp, Jordan Creek and Diamond
Mill. Take a moment to review her
schedule of events and make sure
your event and the ones you plan
to attend are correct. I sure hope to
see some of you there this year for
sure.
The new date for the Cline Falls
work party is March 22, 2014. That
should make for great camping
at the staging area and there is
plenty of room for all from tent to
RV. The yellow bells and butter
cups will for sure be popping their
heads up use this web-site http:
//www.pnw4wda.org/ to link to
people in Oregon who will keep you
informed on the Cline Falls work
party.

to order at 7:30pm.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited
and a moment of silence for the
sick and departed was observed.
Secretary’s Report: Derrick Clark
makes motion to accept minutes,
Edward Campbell seconds, motion
passed.
Treasurer’s Report: Derrick Clark
makes motion to accept report, Kathy
Greenwood seconds, motion passed.
Lora Jungmayer is out- She had brain
surgery and is recovering - Connie
Largen presented report
Beginning bal - $2107.81 + 50/50 - $25
= $2132.81 ending balance
Hombreys donated their winnings to
the trailer fund - $200
We Did It/Club Power: Kathy
Greenwood - Very important to
documenting hours in the field any projects. PLEASE turn in your
paperwork!!!!
People are not caring about the
patches - Kathy’s thought... Propose
for every work party throughout all
regions each club that worked and
turned in paperwork will receive a ticket
and it will go into a jar to be drawn at
winter convention.
Heath Moyer - donated a wench!!!
Other ideas for winners would be $ or
other donations.
Naches:
Still Closed Opens July
15th - As soon as they can get in
there they will start work on bridges.
They are rounding up materials now.
Talking with the Eastside about getting
equipment.
Evans Creek: Still Closed
Elbe: Work party April 12th. Snow
Jam was the largest ever despite no
snow - 400 people!
Tahuya: John will be out for a couple
months, Rick Cornwell will be stepping
up. Had a work party last weekend
T55 is tore up - on top of the south hill
they added several holes 2’ x 3-4’ and
upturned rocks on the south side. Fun
run is June 14th.
Land Matters: Updates House bill 2150 still in play – land
owner liability, soft approach to
releasing private land owner’s liability
of anything that happens
House bill 2121 fell off the face of
the earth- trail building language,
way its written could be dangerous to
organizations putting events on public
land, but also good trail building money
in there, not worth it though
House bill 2156 Missed the cutoff,
likely dead, unlikely to resurface due
to budget – discover pass, if you are
about to get a ticket and can prove that
you have a pass (forgot at home, etc)
but forgot it, you can possibly get the
ticket waived.

February, 2014
Due to weather and other issues
the Region 4 meeting for February
11, 2014 in Moses Lake, WA was
canceled. The following is my report
for our Region that I gave at Winter
Convention. So in lieu of the meeting
please read my report and if you have
any question please call me. Earl
Nettnin, Region 4 Director.
Winter Convention
February 8, 2014
Pick Up A Mountain held September
20-22, 2013 was again very
successful with 180 people signed in
and traveled over 14,000 miles to get
there. In addition to the normal “trash”
two abandoned cars were brought
in. One still had wheels and the other
which was crushed was hauled to a
scrap yard and the money given to the
region for the event. A letter from the
Ranger commending us for our efforts
was received.
Flood Repair – The 1808 Road is
finished and the work party at Copper
City had access without a special
permit. The 1702 Rock Creek Road
has been repaired and is open. The
1700 Road system repairs were
held up by appeals and will not be
started until this spring. The 1605
Road in the Clover Springs area
has been repaired and now is open.
Improvements to the 1600 Road to
the old mill site will not happen until
this spring. The 1501 Road to the
Little Rattlesnake access is slated to
be closed for the first five miles. The
appeal period for this project started
January 10, 2014; and is open for
45 days to those who submitted
comments. DNR (Department of
Natural Resources) has ownership
of the land and may put in a by-pass
around the concerned area, but will
not connect to the 1501 Road.
Juniper Dunes is still working on a
public access road to get away from
current problems. The County is in
line for a FLAP (Federal Lands Access
Program) grant, but not until 2016.
We met with the County Engineer
Matt Rasmussen who told us they are
going about the process to acquire
right of way. Things are moving
ahead in a positive manner.

Quadra Paws Fun Run 2013
by Michael Welander
Fan belts and small Frisbees flew through the air. Golf balls plinked down a score board while a colored circle spun and many people were scratching their heads.
How could 97 participants be smiling and challenged at the same time at a family friendly event?
On June 15th 2013 the Quadra Paws held their annual Fun Run in the Tahuya Forest and again it was a success. The trails were nearly perfect to not be overly
wet and wet enough to not be dusty. Local businesses again made a great event possible and the 4x4’s came to try their hands again at taking home some loot. A
winch was on the line for a winner and another winch in the raffle where you could only buy tickets at the event.
Heads were forward and pushed against the head rest as questions about naval history and what movie Gilbert and Booger were in. How do you throw a Frisbee
at a bucket from your vehicle and throw a fan belt to fly level? Again these problems were handed out and many did very well and others could not believe what
they had forgotten. At the end of the day many people were smiling and bigger smiles were found from those on the leader board.
Over 244 pounds of food was delivered to the Central Kitsap Food Bank from the participants. Generosity during the summer months is always greatly appreciated
and fills a need in the community, well done everyone.
The Quadrapaws would like to thank our sponsors who make this event possible: Northridge 4x4, Bayview 4x4, Jantz Engineering, Les Schwab Tires in Belfair,
4wheel parts, Those Guys 4x4, BDS Suspension, Bethel Towing, Napa/West Bay Auto Parts, Suzi Q’s Gifts.
In 2013 the dash plaques were colored to honor the US Navy base here in Bremerton with blue digital camouflage. In 2014 we will be honoring our Marines.
If you want to try the Fun Run in 2014, you will need to be able to answer questions from across the board and play games of challenge while navigating the
Tahuya Forest. We are again having the Fun Run on June 14th
Hope to see you there

PACIFIC NORTHWEST 4-WHEEL-DRIVE ASSOCIATION
OREGON—WASHINGTON—IDAHO
WINTER CONVENTION
Vancouver, WA
February 8, 2014
President Angie Marek (Spanaway Moonshiners) called the meeting to order at 9:15 AM. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and a moment of silence for the
sick and departed was observed.
The hosting statement was given by Region 3 Director Kyle Wiebold (Our Gang Off Road, & Push n Pulls).
The PNW4WDA Code was read by President Angie Marek.
PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT: President Angie asked all who could stand to please do so, she then asked you to sit down if this was your first Winter Convention;
she then said she wanted everyone to notice who had sat down, this group of people are the ones we need to mentor to. She then asked you to sit down if it was
your 2nd to 5th year; 6th to 10th year; 11th to 15th year; 16th to 20th year. She then said if you’ve been here 25 years or less sit down; she then asked the group to take
notice of who was still standing and she pointed out this group of people are why we have trails to run on and an Association as strong as ours is. Our Association
is well known throughout the nation because of these people who have set the ground rules, so thank you very much.
President Angie read the list of past PNW4WDA Presidents; she asked those present to please stand; Jim Carter, Arlene Brooks, Don Jensen, Carol Jensen, Jim
Putman, Luke May and Angie Marek.
President Angie said we have as 2014 major sponsors Randy’s Ring and Pinion - Platinum; Northridge 4X4 – Platinum (up from Gold and includes a dinner at Trail
Jamboree); WARN – Bronze; and 4 Wheel Parts – Platinum (includes major sponsor for Trail Jamboree). 4 Wheel Parts were present and President Angie asked
them to come forward - Josh from the Lynwood store, Corey from the Tacoma Store, and Brandon from the Portland store to receive a special plaque for each
store to display stating they are major sponsors of the PNW4WDA. President Angie encouraged everyone to support our sponsors, they are supporting our sport.
President Angie then gave a summary of the lawsuit brought against the PNW4WDA by Forrest Dexter.
In May some concerns were brought to her attention regarding our Idaho State Director Forrest Dexter. These concerns were discussed and brought to the Board
of Directors at the June Board Meeting. The decision at that meeting was to have a hearing regarding those allegations to see where they went. Following the
bylaws and at the advice of our attorney we had a meeting where the Board presented the case and Mr. Dexter presented his side. A vote of the Board was taken
and Mr. Dexter was removed from office. An abundance of correspondence was received and sent, several meetings with our attorney; and a lawsuit threatened.
Just prior to Fall Delegates Meeting we were served as an Association and we found out after Fall Delegates it had not been filed in court yet, for a million and a
half dollars. Due to the amount of correspondence all was requested to go through our attorney who forwarded all information to the president. Our attorney at
the request of the Board sent a letter which instructed Mr. Dexter to either file or this matter was closed. Legal papers were filed and we received an offer from
him to settle for almost what we have in our bank account. We did refuse the offer, and moved forward with the Board fully supporting the decisions that were
being made. This lawsuit cost us several thousand dollars; our attorney did not charge us for at least one third of what he did for us. Before the December Board
Meeting an official hearing with the judge took place; at that time she made an oral judgment ruling in Mr. Dexter’s favor; however, she did not file the judgment
and scheduled another hearing for the following week asking us to submit more information on some questions she had and our attorney took care of this. At that
time our attorney submitted a change of venue from Spokane to Pierce County. That motion was granted and Mr. Dexter informed the court he couldn’t precede
with this, he would have to do a voluntary dismissal. At this time the judge made a ruling for voluntary dismissal with prejudice, which means Mr. Dexter cannot refile this motion. We then received another letter from Mr. Dexter stating he had dismissed the lawsuit against the PNW and this was his Christmas present to us.
He still believed that he had been wronged. Mr. Dexter then sent another correspondence addressed to the Board and all delegates wanting everyone to search
for truth in this matter and come to the realization that the PNW4WDA is not forthright to our members, delegates, clubs and Board of Directors. President Angie
then asked for a show of hands from the delegates present if they had received such e-mail, no hands went up. Mr. Dexter not only was suing the PNW4WDA
but President Angie and her husband as well. When the lawsuit against the PNW4WDA was dismissed the lawsuit against the Marek’s was also dismissed. A
question was asked if the money spent was just for legal fees, answer yes it was attorney fees only. Another question was - what affect did this have on our
insurance, answer we had to inform both insurance companies that a lawsuit had been filed against us. They denied coverage because our insurance covers
us from outside entities and at the time this allegation was made Mr. Dexter was a Board member and you cannot sue yourself and be protected by insurance.
President Angie said she was told by both insurance companies that having something on file did not harm us. President Angie said she wanted to thank
everyone for their support during this as it has been quite the ordeal. President Angie said she really wanted to thank her husband Dan who she said was a rock
star and her club as well as the Board - you guys were amazing so thank you very much. As of this meeting this matter is closed.
WAYS & MEANS Chairman Kathy (Frogg) McMains (The Hurtin’ Units & Columbia Basin Sand Commandos) encouraged everyone to check out the items for sale
in the back of the room. She said if you have ideas for new items please let her know. She also said if you haven’t seen the trailer that the PNW purchased for
Ways & Means products check it out; it’s in the parking lot. Frogg reminded everyone that Valentine’s Day is coming and your sweetheart needs something from
her table in the back of the room. Thanks to the Web Team our online store is up and running and doing well; check it out.
President Angie asked for approval of the September 14, 2013 Fall Delegates minutes; Ken Johnson (Bull Shifters) made a motion seconded by Art Waugh
(Wolfpack 4X4) to approve the September 14, 2013 Fall Delegates minutes as printed in Tri-Power; motion carried.
Introduction of new clubs; Region 7 – none; Region 6 one new club Rogue Valley 4-Wheelers; Region 4 – none; Region 3 – none; Region 2 one new club in the
works Joint Base Lewis McCord Military Jeepers has 30 families; Region 1 – none.
TREASURER Dave McMains (The Hurtin’ Units & Columbia Basin Sand Commandos) had a written report. He said you have a copy of our income and
expenses; the balance sheet and the 2014 budget. Dave said our CD’s aren’t making much interest at this time. Discussion followed as to specific line items. The
Future 4-Wheelers have asked to have their funds added as a line item in our budget because they don’t have a bank account. This way they can have a paper
trail for how their money is spent. Also the increase in the amount of the Scholarships should have been listed as $4000. Rick Smith (Hubs in 4-Wheelers, Sand
Fleas, Mud-a-Rama & Flat Broke & 4-Wheelin’) made a motion seconded by Ken Johnson (Bull Shifters) to accept the 2014 proposed budget with the Scholarship
correction and permission to reallocate, motion carried.
OTHER MONEY MATTERS:
Ken Lien (Spanaway Moonshiners) presented a check from the Spanaway Moonshiners for $2000 to the Scholarship Fund.
Future 4-Wheelers did an amazing job hosting Summer Convention 2013. They made some money and are open for suggestions on how they should spend it.
Region Directors have been asked to discuss this at their Region meetings and ask for suggestions on how the Future 4-Wheelers might spend their money to
benefit their activities.
MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN Kristin Smith (Flat Broke & 4-Wheelin’, Mud-A-Rama, Sand Fleas & Hubs in 4-Wheelers) had a written report. Kristin said due to
problems with our server Membership Cards will be mailed out. Several clubs have not paid their dues yet. Please send Membership Rosters and money to
Kristin and please list your dependents birthdays on it. That information is necessary if your child is applying for a Scholarship. Discussion followed and if you
don’t want to list their actual birthday please use the year they were born and use the date January 1, and the actual year. Since we don’t have a correct number
of members; the numbers will not be printed in this report at this time.
GUEST SPEAKER: David Banis with the Department of Geography at Portland State; presented a slide show on mapping systems that he is working on with the
Forest Service; how people feel about the places they visit; their focus was on the Olympic Peninsula. They have been working on this project since 2010 and
continue to work on it. What they are trying to do is find out what are the patterns of outdoor recreation, what are the uses of the forest besides timber, where there
is overlapping conflict of overuse in the forest, and special places where people value for a variety of reasons. Eight workshops were held around the Peninsula,
people sat at tables and marked the maps where they thought were important and places where they performed certain activities. They then were asked list
what activities they were doing there. Activities were motorized recreation and non motorized recreation, fishing, foraging, economic activities, hunting, trapping,
12
FEBRUARY 2014
www.pnw4wda.org
cultural or science and education. There was a different pattern for each activity. They also mapped where people live and it showed they value places close to
where they live. David showed several examples of how this looked. David said they had done this process with a group of people that attended the Washington
State Trails Conference and the Mountaineers collecting data; however, they are actively trying to get other groups to participate. David said it takes about a half
hour to an hour to mark the map; they collect the data and put it in a geographic system and create maps for comparison to each group that marked the maps.
If you would like to know more about what they are doing; information can be found on the Portland State Geography Department Website where you will find a
70 page document you can download and see all the details. After a lot more discussion a question was asked what the Forest Service was going to do with this
information – answer they don’t really know. David said that all their information will be available to the public. The main goal is access use. David said he would
really like us to participate in the mapping so the Board will be looking into ways that might work. The Spanaway Moonshiners are providing a table at their swap
meet March 9, 2014 so people will have an opportunity to participate in this mapping process. We need to have a voice showing that 4X4’s do exist and we need
a place to recreate. More information, contact David Banis at [email protected].
SECRETARY Sande Nettnin (Desert Rats) had a written report. Sande reminded everyone that she will send sympathy, thank you, get well and thinking of you
cards if you let her know who to send them to. Dave McMains said we should send a get well card to Ed Weber (Cascade 4X4’s and our 2015 Trail Jamboree
Chairman), he had a heart attack and is home recovering.
COMPETITION Chairman Dave Taylor (Outdoor 4X4’s) had a written report. On the back of his report is the 2014 Play Day Schedule. Dave reported they had
one Competition Safety Rule proposal to vote on.
Section 4 Title: Primary Courses – Team Relay. This was to allow a parade lap following the drivers meeting for any team relay event at Summer Convention.
Competition Ballots were to be mailed to Dave Taylor by January 31, 2014. Ballots were counted Friday night February 7, 2014; 27 yes and 6 no; proposal
passed. Arlene Brooks (Green River Valley Jeepers) made a motion seconded by Terri Mohan (Nitty Gritty) to destroy the ballots; motion carried. No Monster
Jam this year, they are still working on scheduling - no word as to when or if we might be back. Discussion followed on the Drag Lights that the PNW owns. They
need to be repaired or replaced. To repair them would cost $1800 or replace at $7000. A question was asked if we repair them how long would they last – answer
several years, they would be updated with new cable and software. The lights have not worked properly for at least 10 years. If we fix the lights it will increase
participation at our events. Who would store them – answer the Competition Chairman Dave Taylor. A question was asked if they would be covered by a warranty,
Dave didn’t have that information, he said Jon O’Brien (Spanaway Moonshiners) had gotten the cost of repairs or replacing them. Kevin Mohan (Nitty Gritty) made
a motion seconded by Diana Stafford (PR, Overbored Racing & Cascade 4X4’s) that the PNW pay to repair and update the Competition Drag Lights at a cost of
about $1800; motion carried. A correction on the last page of the agenda where events are listed Summer Convention is usually the 2nd week of August; however,
it will be the 3rd week August 15-17, 2014. Dave said the Webfooters would be added to the schedule May 2-4, 2014 at Straddleline; Moonshiners Play Day in
Toppenish Memorial weekend May 24-25, 2014; information will be posted on our Website. Arlene Brooks asked just how important is the Monster Jam to us –
answer it is very important since they give us some money and that money is used for competition activities, etc. Arlene asked if it would help to write letters to the
schedulers of the event – answer Dave will try to find out who is in charge for 2015 so we would know where and who to send the letters too. Arlene also asked if
Dave had a financial report – answer it was presented and handed out at the December Board meeting. Barrel Extravaganza will be May 10th in Longview, WA;
the Competition Committee will be in charge this year; all proceeds from this will go back to the PNW4WDA’s General Fund - information will be posted on line as it
becomes available.
INTER ASSOCIATION DIRECTOR’S – IAD #1 Don Jensen & IAD #2 Carol Jensen (Sand Fleas & PNW Individual Members Club) had a written report. One issue
that is really important - everyone needs to contact your representatives and express to them your displeasure with our President signing anymore legislation that
creates national monuments and wilderness; Utah is in a world of hurt right now and it would include Moab. See Carol if you need any addresses she has them
for Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The Sage Grouse seems to be an issue; the groups in NAMRC (North American Motorized Recreation Council) are getting
together trying to get some input. Don spoke about the Anti-Access people; he shared that they really stress writing multiple letters, not one but six. Don thought it
would be a good idea for us to do that too. Blue Ribbon has not appointed a new Executive Director yet.
STATE CAUCUSES (Combined)
Idaho – We appointed Jim Hopkins (North Idaho Trail Blazers) at Fall Delegates September 14, 2013 as our Idaho State Liaison; he could not be elected in the
position because he has not been a member long enough. Jim was not present today because of health issues with his wife. Jim asked President Angie to share
that he has met with several clubs in Idaho and is working with them; hoping to get them to join the PNW4WDA. Jim also shared that he would like to continue to
be the Idaho Liaison if there were no nominations from Idaho for an Idaho State Executive Director. No one was nominated from the Idaho delegation.
Oregon Executive Director Randy Drake (Deschutes County 4-Wheelers) had a written report. Randy called his meeting to order at 11:35 AM. Randy asked
for a motion to accept the minutes from the January 18, 2014 State Meeting. He said he had taken a lot of time writing them out to include e-mail, phone numbers
and addresses of everybody so if you see something you’d like more information on you would know who to contact. Dan Haak (Deschutes County 4-Wheelers)
made a motion seconded by Art Waugh (Wolfpack 4X4) to accept the minutes as printed; motion carried. Randy said he was not going to go over the land
committee’s reports as they were all printed in his report; however, if you had something to add please do so. Ryan Reusser (Bri & Bub Offroad) stated that the
Hood River OHV trails #197 and #198 were not listed. Ryan is the new Region 3 Land Chairman. The Western Oregon Travel Management Plan is about to come
out, it will be sent out in March; if you commented on it you will receive notice of it. Public meetings will be posted on the PNW’s Website; you are encouraged
to attend them. Tillamook Forest Service Stephanie Beall (Recreation Coordinator) has posted on her site a 2014 event calendar; she also will list the trails that
are open and closed. The Sage Grouse is a big problem, the anti-access groups are saying motorized use is one of the problems in the demise of Sage Grouse
natural habitat (this is not true). Dan Haak spoke on the importance of letters needed regarding the Sage Grouse. Comments are needed by February 20th; you
can access the information on the study and comment link at: http://www.blm.gov/or/energy/opportunity/sagebrush.php. Randy encouraged everyone to write
their congressmen about the wilderness bill – tell them NO MORE WILDERNESS. If you are looking for a job Mt. Hood is looking for a seasonal ranger for 145
days; contact Michael Law at 503-986-0592 or [email protected]. The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) has a new Deputy Director, his name is Steve
Ellis. Old Business: Nominations opened for Oregon State Executive Director; Randy said he was sure some people had not heard him when nominations
were opened. Randy Drake was nominated; after asking 3 times, nominations closed. Randy said he would accept for this year. Rick Smith made a motion
seconded by Art Waugh that we cast a white ballot for Randy Drake as Oregon State Executive Director for 2014; motion carried. New Business: Randy said a
lot of groups that are not PNW members have events that many of our people attend; this is good however, we really need to attend events that our own people
sponsor. Activities in Oregon are listed in his report; please consider attending and supporting some of them. Randy would like to come up with a way to ignite the
spark in our members who are not in this room, and get them to a meeting. We need to reach out and bring people into our organization. Good of the Order:
Randy gave awards and thank you gifts to his land people that were present: Steve Roach (Four Runners of Klamath Falls), Dan Haak, Mona Drake (Deschutes
County 4-Wheelers), Ryan Reusser, and Art Waugh. Randy said four years ago in the State of Oregon we didn’t have any trails in any Forest Service or BLM
lands. It’s thanks to these 5 individuals here and 4 others who are not here that are really working hard to build more ORV trails for class II. Thank you very much.
The Wolf Creek Planning Project a 40,000 acre project in Mt. Hood National Forest has a 25% road closure proposal so if you recreate in that area your comments
are needed. Hearing no more business for Oregon the caucus closed at noon.
Lunch break from Noon to 1:30 PM
President Angie appointed Don Jensen temporary Parliamentarian until Parliamentarian Luke May returned from lunch. (The weather was a big factor – lots of
snow and ice on the roads).
Washington State Executive Director Jim Putman (The Hombres) had a written report. Jim called his meeting to order at 1:35 PM. Jim had a large hand out
that contained his agenda, minutes from his state meeting as well as information on bills. Jim asked for approval of the minutes from his state meeting January 11,
2014. A few corrections need to be made. Spelling on names Frog to Frogg; Nueman to Neuman, Sandie to Sande; Mike Balboni is not with the DNR he is the
new Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Supervisor; the new Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is Jason Kuiken. Kathy
Greenwood (Offroad Animals) made a motion seconded by Lance Greenwood (Peak Putters) to accept the minutes as amended; motion carried. NOVA/RCO
grants need to be turned in as soon as possible. Jim had a list of the legislative bills in the State that have some kind of impact on us. Two in particular 2150
regarding land owner liability and 2151 trail building. On the surface it sounds pretty good for trail building and such; however, it has some language hidden in the
back of the bill that said an event fee would allow the State or Feds to basically collect half of your entry fees. Jim is hoping this one has died off; basically what
they are interested in now is funding education. Jim asked the Region Directors for updates starting with Region 1 - Director Angela Holm (Happy Campers) said
DNR had imposed some pretty stiff regulations on the volunteers but now they have reversed them and we can once again bring our own equipment on a work
party; however, before we can use it, the user will need have a brief training with a DNR representative and complete a form stating that training was completed
and approval was granted to use your equipment. This is now statewide. Reiter has a new trail that will hopefully open in October. They are hiring an Education
and Enforcement person in April. Trails in Reiter are open on the weekends due to volunteers; this will continue until March. A video of the new trails at Reiter
4-Wheelin’ News

will be shown at the Moonshiners Swap meet in March. Region 2 - Jim presented Region 2’s information – Evans Creek – not much was done however, the
Rednecks and Rugrats did get a new shelter built in the day use section and a work party was held in June, the campground is supposed to be getting the new
road punched in this next year. Quite a few work parties will be held at Evans Creek. Elbe Hills – Heath Moyer reported not a whole lot was going on. They are
still working on the campground, trails are being worked on. John George reported he had gone to Sadie Creek with Around the Sound Jeep Club last year; they
sounded like they wanted to do a lot of work up there, but now he’s not sure if they are going to be with our organization anymore. Tahuya State Forest – not much
is happening now, they have a work party planned. DNR seems to be dragging their feet on the new trail they were going to let us put in, so things are moving
slowly, it won’t be open for the fun run. Naches Trail – Kathy Greenwood reported for Dave Bauman (Offroad Animals) they are working with Mary to see if they
can get additional funding for a couple of pieces of equipment to get in there so they can haul rock from the pit up there. They are working on some new ideas
for installing the rub rails; instead of nailing them they plan to use bolts. They hope to be working there as soon as possible. Kathy said they are trying to get the
Forest Service to open the Naches Trail both directions for Trail Jamboree to use. Region 3 - Ryan Wells is no longer their land matters person for the Yacolt
Burn it’s Crystal Crowder (Piston’s Wild Motorsports). The pending law suit on DNR land in the Yacolt Burn is just about settled. Region 4 – Dale Neuman (High
Country Cruisers) reported he would have a work party at Liberty May 17 through Memorial Day. Juniper Dunes is coming along. Copper City is almost finished
we have one big bridge and 2 small ones to build. The small ones should be done this year. Tim Foss (Cle Elum Ranger District) is retiring so we have lost a
great supporter of our activities in the district; no replacement has been announced. The 1501 Road to the Little Rattlesnake access is slated to be closed for the
first 5 miles; this is now in the 45 day appeal period. If you wrote a letter on it during the scoping period you can appeal the decision otherwise they won’t accept
it. If this closes we will lose total access to the area. The road could be fixed for about the same price it will cost to remove it. Discussion followed on the problems
with the Naches Ranger District. Region 7- Alan Dragoo (Spokane 4-Wheelers) was not present and did not send a report. New Business – Washington State
Trails Conference (WSTC) will be held October 16-18, 2014 in Bellingham, WA. We are the only motorized group that belongs to this coalition. Jim thought we
should do a presentation on Reiter. He will discuss this later with Region 1 Director Angela Holm. Old Business – hearing none, Jim handed out awards to
his land people. Ed Tenney, Derrick Clark, Heath Moyer, Dave Bauman, John George, Outdoor 4X4 Club, Quadrapaws Club, Marty Tilford, Ryan Wells, Roger
Brittain, Dale Neuman, Dave McMains, Clay Graham, Doug Conner, Ron Rutherford, Alan Dragoo, Jeff Williams and Arlene Brooks. Jim thanked everyone for all
the hard work they do for the PNW4WDA.
Nominations opened for Washington State Executive Director; Jim Putman was nominated at Fall Delegates; hearing no more nominations, nominations closed.
Dale Neuman made a motion seconded by Kathy Greenwood that we cast a unanimous ballot for Jim Putman as Washington State Executive Director for 2014,
motion carried. Hearing no more business the WA State Caucus adjourned.
Roll Call – Ken Johnson made a motion seconded by Dale Neuman that we accept the sign-in sheet as roll call; motion carried.
By-law proposals
The first one is Article V, Section 7 - removal of an officer from office. Discussion – Dan Haak wanted to know if it was possible to amend it to say 2/3 majority vote
instead of majority vote. Answer yes there is a section in Roberts Rules that says we can as long as it doesn’t change the intent of the proposal. An amended
motion was made by Dan Haak seconded by Arlene Brooks that we amend the By-Law proposal to 2/3 majority vote instead of majority vote; discussion followed,
the amendment to the motion failed. The next By-Law proposal was Article III Section 4 Dues - multiple membership only pay $40; the next proposal Article V
Section 9 – one delegate one vote at PNW Business Meetings; and the last proposal Article V Section 10 Officers – one delegate one vote at Region Meetings. A
short discussion on all the proposals followed before voting. Results will be announced later in the meeting.
Nominations were opened again for 2014 PNW4WDA officers. The following were nominated at Fall Delegates: Angie Marek President, Sande Nettnin
Secretary, Dave McMains Treasurer, Don Jensen IAD #1, and Carol Jensen IAD #2. According to our By-Laws the position of Treasurer must be submitted by the
December Board meeting and no new nominations will be accepted after that date. Hearing no new nominations, nominations closed. Rick Smith made a motion
seconded by Art Waugh that we cast a white ballot for the following - President Angie Marek, Secretary Sande Nettnin, Treasurer Dave McMains, IAD #1 Don
Jensen and IAD #2 Carol Jensen; motion carried.
REGION DIRECTOR REPORTS
Region 3 Director Kyle Wiebold had a written report. Region 3 will be hosting Summer Convention August 15-17, 2014 at Ethel, WA. Kyle said their Region
officers for 2014 were as follows: Kyle Wiebold Region Director, Tom Fisher Vice-Director, Margaret Schiedler Secretary, Rick Levine Treasurer, Comp Chairman
Marty Tilford, Oregon Land Matters Ryan Reusser, Washington Land Matters Crystal Crowder, and PR Teresa Sullivan.
Region 1 Director Angela Holm had a written report. Most items were covered in the Washington State Director’s report.
Region 2 Director Dan Morris (County Line Offroaders) had a written report - nothing new to add.
Region 4 Director Earl Nettnin had a written report. We have a lot of things going on with DNR and Forest Service as well as our Sand Dunes areas in Moses
Lake and Beverly. The TWIG meetings which are (Trails Wilderness Interest Groups) start again in March at the Naches Ranger Station; these will be interesting
as we will be dealing with pretty much a whole new staff as several staff members have either retired or moved on to other places. Several user groups are
unhappy with the way the ranger is running things. In the South Fork of the Ahtanum we have an issue with resource damage, deposits of liter and dumping of
dead animals; DNR’s solution is to put up a gate which will close off the whole area.
Region 6 Director Ann Haak (Deschutes County 4-Wheelers) had a written report. Biggest thing in her region is the Sage Grouse. This was pretty much covered
in the Oregon Executive Director’s report. Anyone anywhere can write letters on the Sage Grouse. If it’s not in your state yet it’s coming. Ann said lots of projects
are happening, thanks to the efforts of Randy and Mona Drake.
Region 7 Director Mique Shaw had a written report. They only have two clubs. The Spokane 4-Wheelers are very community orientated almost everything they
do involves some sort of charity. Jeff Williams (Spokane 4-Wheelers & CJ’s Only) is on the Board of Directors for Riverside State Park. The NITB (North Idaho
Trail Blazers) are no longer members of the Association but they are having a Wounded Warriors run coming up in March that the PNW is involved in. The PNW
donated $500 towards the Wounded Warriors project where NITB is taking out wounded vets for a day out doing something fun.
Our donation is being put towards hats and t-shirts for participants and vets. Our name will appear on the shirts and hats.
SPECIAL PRESENTATION on The Rattlesnake Project in Region 4 was given by Ron Rutherford (Jeepin’ Nomads). Ron headed up the project along with Jeff
Leisy (Forest Service). The Forest Service referred to the project as a Celebration Project. This project took place the third week in July of 2013. Ron’s club has
been around 47 years in the Yakima area; they are working hard to try to keep things open for many years to come. Materials for the project were hauled in a few
days prior to Trail Jamboree when Jeeps and trailers were available and already in the area. Ron presented a wonderful PowerPoint showing just what took place.
The goal of doing this was to keep the trail open and protect the stream flow; Fisheries seem to have Bull Trout issues. The trail used to be 6 miles long and now
its 2.8 miles.
After several meetings with the Forest Service & Fisheries; Region 4 was determined to help with reconstruction of the trail putting water crossings in. We had a lot
of volunteer help who came with equipment and willing hands. We had 650.5 donated hours as well as equipment that was donated; trailers, front loaders and a
couple of tractors. Ron said this is just one of the projects that go on; he feels that we need to do more telling and selling what we do. This was a group effort.
APPOINTED POSITIONS REPORTS
Club Power/We Did It Chairman Kathy Greenwood had a written report. Kathy tried to show how many hours and miles were driven. She said she knows for a
fact you aren’t turning in paperwork. We need to document what we do. Forms are on line and if you can’t find them call her; she will work something out with
you. Just about everything we do qualifies; parades, work parties, fun runs, Ocean Beach Clean-up, Pick Up A Mountain, Trail Jamboree clean-up, Trail Jamboree,
and other clean-ups. If you aren’t sure if it would count call her and ask. Also if you have any suggestions on how we can get the paper work turned in, please call
her. We need proof of what we have done.
PR Chairman Diana Stafford had a written report. Diana said she often is asked what the PNW does. Diana said our Club Power/We Did It reports are a good
example of what we do as well as the presentation today by Ron Rutherford. She said she would love to see Ron’s presentation on our Website. She has
material available for all your events/functions. We are not using the current Who and What We Are publication because the dues information has changed; an
updated version is in the works. Please use the calendar on the Website it’s a great place to find out what’s happening.
Safety Education Chairman Rob Stafford had a written report. Rob was not feeling well so he was up in the room. Rob is available to put on seminars on
Winching 101 and/or High-Lift Jack safety. He also would welcome any ideas you have on what you would like to see in the Safety Education program.
Trail Jamboree Co-Chairmen Sid & Kelda Hagemeier had a written report. Sid said there are a few things that are different on his report - check in time at
Jamboree is 4 PM Sunday, July 6, 2014. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Jim Sprick Park, our group was responsible for making the park what it is today.
They have some new leadership in the Nile Community and they are working very hard to make the park available for use outside the community. Host groups

will be able to register on line this year. Sid announced he was having a meeting following this meeting in room 312 for anyone who is involved with Jamboree.
Sid said he was going to try and get all the hosts contacted so they could register as soon as possible. Teresa Kosel (Spanaway Moonshiners) is handling
registration again this year. The park clean-up and potluck is April 12, 2014. Arlene Brooks asked if we had a financial report for last year – answer yes one was
turned in at Fall Delegates September 14, 2013. Arlene said she would like to see the number of how many Sani-cans we had, how many people came through
the gate etc. Sid said the plan is to put together a three ring binder with all that information for the new Jamboree Co-Chairmen when they take over. This year
we are trying something new with registration. Trail Host registration will be on line, when you register as a host you get 2 free host t-shirts, please list what sizes
you need. This year we will offer a camping only package for $150.00. We are changing our refund policy from $10 to this: if you cancel after April 21st you will
get your fee back minus $20; if you cancel by June 2nd you will get half of your fee back and no refunds after June 23rd. This should allow us to fill any cancelation
spots. President Angie said she has in her possession 23 of the 25 Jamboree t-shirts that will be on display (she couldn’t remember which ones she doesn’t
have). We are also looking for someone to put together a history of Trail Jamboree. President Angie said she has a book that was on loan to her from Mary Lou
Radcliff (Good Time 4-Wheelers); that contains everything about Jamboree for the last 24 years. President Angie said she would share it at the host meeting today.
We will have a live band on Saturday night. Don Williams (Go 4-all Jeep Club) is in charge of sponsors and vendors. Registration on line opens on February 17,

forms are located on the Website. Your Web Team stands ready to help you navigate the site; send an e-mail to [email protected] and it goes to Edward,
Dan and Rich.
OLD BUSINESS
President Angie asked all the Spanaway Moonshiners to stand up, she said this is a small grouping of what her club is and she said there is not one of us on
the Board that could do our jobs without the support of our clubs; she asked for one of them to come up and accept a certificate of thanks. She then asked her
husband Dan Marek to come up and accept a certificate of thanks too, she said they are a team and without his support she could not do this job. A certificate of
thanks goes to Grace May for always giving a tremendous amount of support. President Angie then handed out her President awards to all the Board Members:
Ron McDonald, Kathy Greenwood, Frogg McMains, Sid & Kelda Hagemeier, Rich Holm, Dan Rheaume, Earl Nettnin, Edward Campbell, Diana Stafford, Kristin
Smith, Mique Shaw, Ann Haak, Kyle Wiebold, Dan Morris, Angela Holm, Dave Taylor, Don & Carol Jensen, Jim Putman, Randy Drake, Jim Hopkins, Dave
McMains, Sande Nettnin, and Luke May. President Angie said she really appreciated her Board; this was a very rough year and everyone should be very proud of
your Board, she certainly is.
NEW BUSINESS
President Angie had asked the Region Directors to ask their regions to come up with a list of things they wanted the Association to do. Several things have already
been addressed and some of their concerns have already been put into play. One of the things brought fourth was, what’s the difference between the 501 C 3 and
501 C 4 tax exempt status. We have always thought we could not get involved on a political level. We did find out through our investigator who was Arlene Brooks
that as a 501 C 4 we can have legislative involvement. However, we will continue to go through Blue Ribbon, WHOVA and the other organizations that we support
that hire a lobbyist. After review of all the material the Board feels we are in the best position we could be in by remaining a 501 C 4. If you have any questions or
would like to have a copy of the research material contact President Angie.

4-Wheelin’ News
FEBRUARY 2014
15
Club Power/We Did It program needs to be updated. We are looking for ideas on how we can improve it. Please give your
ideas to Kathy Greenwood or any of the Board members.
Slick Magazine – Kyle Wiebold reported that he is still hoping for more information. This would replace our Who And What
We Are that is really outdated. Kyle thanked everyone who has given him information, but he still needs more information to
make this a useful tool for us. So please get him information so we can show the public what we are all about. Let’s make
this happen.
President Angie announced that following this meeting she would have an Emergency Board Meeting up front and a Trail
Jamboree meeting would be at 5:45 in room 312.
Presentation on the Data Counter was given by Ron Rutherford. Ron presented this to the Board in December and it was
voted that we should bring it to the Delegates at Winter Convention to see if they wanted to purchase this program. Why
are we looking at counting data and where will we go with it. In 2001 and 2002 we had some information on how many
Snowmobiles were using the Snowmobile Park in the Ahtanum west of Yakima. The Department of Natural Resources had
put some devices in the ground at that time so counters have been around for some time. In 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
& 2008 Ron presented this information to the Naches Ranger District and said if we had these in the ground we could have
some data on our trails, we could use it for funding and to show the activity on the trails; they are still thinking about it. After
hearing the presentation by David Banis on what is happening with mapping, this information would be very beneficial to
us showing just how our trails are being used or overused. Everything seems to revolve around numbers. Ron did a little
more research and went to DNR and County Engineers in Yakima County and they said it’s great, but we can’t afford it; they
have the rubber hoses that people drive over. This system is manufactured in Canada and it comes with everything you
need to make it work, batteries are good for one year and you buy them over the counter; nothing special about them. We
decide where they go in the ground and what data we want to collect, it can be programmed to count bicycles, foot travel,
and motorized all the way up to logging trucks. We of course would be after our motorized trail activity. We have a couple
technical people in our Region we have talked to about collecting the data (if we decide to purchase them). You go out with
a laptop to where they have been buried; you don’t need to dig them up to retrieve the information. Ron said the system
package with 3 vehicle counters and all items to make it work would cost $2,245 and once we have purchased the system
additional counters can be purchased at anytime for 1-3 of them $545 each and there is a breakdown for even more of them.
Discussion followed and Art Waugh made a motion seconded by Ken Johnson that we purchase the data counter program for
$2,245; motion passed.
GOOD OF THE ORDER
Rick Smith presented a check to Region 3 for $100 from Flat Broke & 4-Wheelin’ to help off set the cost of the convention and
he challenged other clubs to do the same.
Randy Drake said the 2014 OHV Guide for Oregon is available. Everyone riding/walking etc must have an off roaders card in
Oregon. February 22 will be a work party at Cline Falls – meet at the camping spot at 9 AM.
Saturday May 3rd, Pick Up the Burn; the Yacolt is very close to breaking ground and we’d like to show the DNR that there are
a lot of motorized people willing to get out and work in the National Forest. Meet at the Jones Creek Trail Head in the Yacolt
Burn more information can be found at Piston’sWild.com - click on the Forum.

EMERGENCY BOARD
MEETING FOLLOWING
WINTER CONVENTION
FEBRUARY 8, 2014
President Angie Marek (Spanaway
Moonshiners) called the meeting to
order at 5:05 PM.
Discussion followed regarding printing
the SOP’s and By-Laws for just the
elected Board Members. Secretary
Sande Nettnin (Desert Rats) said that
since everyone had pushed for and
wanted the SOPs and By-laws on line
they all have access to them. We have
the habit of changing things often; and
it just makes sense to only have a few
printed copies. More discussion on
this will take place at the March Board
Meeting.
President Angie asked for ratification

(BRC) celebrates its
26th Anniversary
This landuse email comes to you
from Del Albright; and I apologize if
you’re received it twice. But we are
on a focused mission to strengthen
our access fights at this critical
juncture. This note is personal, from
my landuse partner, Don Amador.
To all BRC Members, Supporters,
Partners and Friends,
It is an honor to be serving as your
interim
Director
of
Operations,
BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC). Stacie
(my wife) and I have dedicated
ourselves to land use and BRC for
over 10 years. Land use and outdoor
writing have been in my blood for
over 30 years. I believe in and am
committed to everything the BRC
stands for - the freedoms we enjoy in
this country; the access we treasure
for all sports and all people; the need
for national grassroots representation
like we get from BRC; and the Godgiven right to enjoy the heritage left
behind by our forefathers and those
who have defended the USA, from
our beginnings as a nation to today.
With the help of the Board of Directors,
fellow contractors and staff, BRC will be
making some changes and reshaping
the way we fight our land use battles. My
role will be to lead BRC until the Board
is ready to hire a permanent Executive
Director. We want to make sure we
give that person a nice, shiny penny!
My guiding principles have always
been honesty, integrity, openness and
commitment. I also believe one must be
honorable by doing the right thing and
serving the needs of those on the team.
Specifically, the Board of Directors
and I plan to accomplish six short-term
objectives: 1) to continue to build the
strength of our legal program; 2) to
find more ways to build collaboration
and cooperation and to minimize
conflicts between groups and clubs; 3)
to assist the BRC Marketing Committee
in bringing back a print magazine (not
sure of the frequency yet) so that our
members have BRC in their hands -not
just on their screens; 4) to capitalize
on the political savvy of our full time
professionally staffed organization; 5)
to “rock” the social networks and be an
integral part of those who love Tweets,
Likes, Posts and Pics; and 6) to ensure
our members have all the information
they desire and need about land use,
saving trails and the operations of BRC.
Please share with me your suggestions,
help and input. You can reach me thru
the BRC message center or “hit” me on
Facebook.
The Board and I hope you will stand
with us right now by joining or renewing,
and donating, so that together we can
continue to build BRC into the national
umbrella of land use. Help us continue
to be the grassroots fighting machine
that is the “big-dog on the porch”!
Del Albright
Interim Director of Operations
Blue Ribbon Coalition
~
As the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC)
celebrates its 26th anniversary this
year, I want to share my thoughts
with you about the organization that I
proudly work for and why it deserves
your continued support. I also want to
let you know you’d be hard pressed
to find anyone who enjoys the fun of
public lands more than I do, and that
is what drives me to keep working for
you. BRC gives me the opportunities
to defend our treasured freedoms.
Simply put, BRC is rightfully
recognized by the media, government
agencies,
the
Department
of
Justice, Congress, environmental
organizations, and many OHV groups
as THE most effective national
grassroots champion of responsible
motorized recreation on public lands.
Regardless of what state or federal
legislative body I am addressing,
elected officials and many of their
staff, know what BRC stands for and
the measures we will take to protect
and preserve our collective rights to
pursue “happiness” on designated
roads, trails, areas and waterways.
Our ground-breaking legal program,
founded in 1996, is second to
none when it comes to defending
recreational
access
to
federal
lands. Our legal experts have
argued and won precedent settings
cases ranging from federal districts
courts, to circuit courts including the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and
before the U.S. Supreme Court.
BRC was the national recreation
lead group on many seminal landuse issues, including our successful
challenge in 2001 to the Clinton-Gore
Roadless Initiative. BRC repelled
“failure to act” efforts by environmental
groups to hamstring land managers
and eliminated the “only federal
defendant”
bar
to
intervention.
Today, BRC is challenging the
Forest Service’s Planning Rule.
Inclusion of OHV recreation as a
congressional-designated prescribed
or codified use of public lands was
a BRC original legislative concept
that was successfully included in a
2006 comprehensive land bill. Today,
that idea is being incorporated into
numerous such efforts, including
the BLM’s Clear Creek OHV Area.
With your generous support, BRC
will continue to build on our proven
track record of effective and strategic
navigation
of
today’s
complex
administrative, legal, and political
landscapes. Join or renew and donate
today! GO HERE to HELP us KEEP
THE FUN AND THE FIGHT ALIVE:

Landuse
Updates
This landuse email comes to you from
Del Albright using iContact.
May your holiday, Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays be special, safe
and full of family.
Here are some landuse updates of
interest.
1.
TRAIL FOOD: I finished my
research on trail snacks that we can
buy from companies who DO support
our lifestyle (as opposed to other
snacks from outfits that would like
to see us park our motorsport rigs):
http://delalbright.blogspot.com/2013/
11/trail-snacks-energy-bars-goodguys.html
2.
STATE UNIFICATION: State
level cooperation, coordination,
collaboration and unification has
become more important than ever.
Here is a link to a step by step
process to make that happen in any
state: http://delalbright.blogspot.com/
2013/11/state-level-off-roadcooperation-and.html
3.
CARNEGIE: The fight for
Carnegie SVRA continues in CA with
BRC leading the charge. More here:

Motorized Recreation Council
(NAMRC) publishes its notes/minutes
from the annual meeting: http://
namrc.com/meetings.htm
7.
NEW BRC BOSS: I’m sure you
know by now, but in my new role as
Interim Director of Operations for BRC
I have outlined 6 primary objectives
for BRC and national landuse issues
here: https://www.sharetrails.org/
news/2013/11/20/message-brcsdirector-operations
This landuse email comes to you
from Del Albright, BRC Director of
Operations and Recreation Advocate.
BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) is forming
and hosting a national sub-committee
to deal with strategies, comment
process and public input on the Sage
Grouse (habitat, possible listing,
and OHV and outdoor recreational
access). BRC’s Don Amador will
be chairing the committee. We will
coordinate this effort with the North
American Motorized Recreation
Council (NAMRC) and other
interested groups.
The committee will help states,
counties, associations, and general
public formulate substantive
comments and public input to help
guide this hugely significant issue
affecting responsible recreation in
10 states. We will be using the subcommittee model much like the efforts
to Save Johnson Valley (and The
Hammers).
Anyone wishing to participate in the
sub-committee should first study up on
this complicated issue because there
is a lot to this “bird.” Here is a link to
a good starting point on the Advocacy
Pages of the BRC website: https:
//www.sharetrails.org/public-lands/10state-sage-grouse-planning. Then
drop me a note with your interest
using [email protected]
BRC will host the first conference
call on the Sage Grouse this Friday,
January 24th, (time and dial-in info to
be announced to participants).

NEW PNW4WDA SPONSORSHIP
At the Board of Directors meeting in December the board adopted a new Sponsorship Program for the Association. This
program will help us as we continue to move forward. Due to contractual obligations we had to wait until January 1st,
2011 to start contacting vendors. We have had a wonderful response and I look forward to presenting our sponsors so far
at Winter Convention. Listed below are the four levels of sponsorship. If you or someone you know is interested please
call the phone number listed below.
