Four Wheelin’ With Feelin’
March of Dimes Rally 2002
TREES DOWN? RALLY GOES ON!
Written by: Luana Schneider
It was decided that Four Wheelin’ with Feelin’ for
the March of Dimes 2002 would be held in honor
of Harland “Boots” Meseberg. Boots was a major
supporter of the rally for years with pledges and
working it until he had a serous stroke a few years
ago and died Christmas morning in 2001--even
after his stroke with the support of his wife and the
rest of his family he continued to collect pledges for
the March of Dimes.

It was also decided the rally would be held in the
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest starting at
McCaslin Mountain Campgrounds. This was because the Pipeline Rehabilitation Project should be
finished by then and we could use this as a kind of
grand opening of the finished project. It turned out
as many of you already know that due to the Environmental Assessment being delayed, the project
could not be finished so the “grand opening” did
not occur as hoped but we were able to at least have

When the first work weekend came around we
found ourselves with quite a challenge. Apparently the area had about 22 inches of very wet
snow that late Spring that bent over and/or
broke many trees and brush. Trails that would
normally have been very clear were near to impassable. We were breaking our way through these
trails and exploring new areas became almost an
impossibility. Also using McCaslin Mountain trails
was not a choice since the mountain was being
logged and the trails were constantly changing--not a
realistic place to establish a rally route.
The committee worked very hard opening up the
trails. Two committee members were there with
chainsaws Labor Day weekend still clearing out
some of the trails where more damaged trees kept
falling into the trails.

New MW4WDA Bulletin Board
Written by: Reuben Gosewisch
I wanted to make all of you aware of a new
feature to the MW4WDA website. I have
added a Bulletin Board to allow for on-line
communication between all members of
the MW. To access the Bulletin Board all
you need to do is go to www.mw4wda.org
and click on the Message Board button on
the left. You will then be asked to register
to the board, by entering a username and
password. Once you have done that you
can view messages, reply to messages, and
post your own messages. I find that a
bulletin board allows for much better communication than an e-mail list because
different topics can be separated and the
information remains on the site.
My hope with the Bulletin Board is that it
will keep all members of the MW4WDA
in the loop on information, and allow for
much better communication among the
members, delegates, and MW board.
Please take the time to check out the MW
Bulletin Board and have fun with it. If you
have any questions or comments about the
Board, post up under the comments section
or feel free to e-mail me at:

MW4WDA Land Use Issues
Wisconsin Land Use
Written by: Luana Schneider
Good-by to 2002 and hello to 2003! It’s time
to look back as to what was done in 2002-NOT ENOUGH!! We are losing more and
more land to recreate on with our four wheel
drive vehicles. Let’s see if we can slow that
down in 2003 and actually get some land
opened up to us!
PIPELINE RESTORATION PROJECT
As Mary Strauss will report more thoroughly
the grant has been closed with some small
monetary cost to us. There is much we can
still do to keep the Pipeline open and hopefully in the future get another grant to finish
the project.
STATE TRAILS ADVISORY COUNCIL
(STAC) The STAC meeting that was the
Monday after the fall convention was October
21 in Wausau at “The Shelter” at the Rib
Mountain State Park. That Monday morning
we woke up to a snow storm in Wausau and
our only transportation was the motorhome to
get to the top of Rib Mountain. After some
phone calls we found out they had plowed it
out and so up the mountain we went. Before
the meeting ended the snowfall had stopped
with 8 inches of snow not only on the ground
but on our motorhome. The DNR plowed out
the road again to get us all back down the
mountain. Wouldn’t that be something if the
most snow we saw at a time would be what
we saw in October!?!
An announcement was made that Mike Sohasky (OHV representative on the Council)
has resigned due to the possibility of a conflict of interest since he now works for the
DNR. He has been on the Council for 12
years and been a very valuable Council member. This is the position I had asked the delegates to send letters to the Governor asking
that I sit on this Council in this position.
Some of you had asked for info and I guess I
never gave thought to having a resume available to you folks to use for reference. Since
then I have found noone has been appointed
yet and have written a resume for those who
might want to submit that with a letter to their
representative and Governor Jim Doyle.
At the meeting discussion occurred on defining just what is a “State Trail?” Otherwise
what constitutes state involvement in a trail.
Also what is a partnership (operated by partner) trail? They reviewed the Trail Design
Standards and Handbook process and determined mapping of various trails is a priority.
Trail surfacing was discussed and the major
concern is “communications” so all users are
notified when surfacing considerations are
discussed.
Discussion on Rail abandonment purchases
bottom line is there isn’t a problem in purchasing in most cases but there is in development and managing.
Trail Fees was discussed as a possible “Wheel
Pass”. Also discussed the need of ATV and
Motorized Parks. The Council should read
and respond before the January Meeting on
the State Trail Remittance Program.
There was discussion on how a Trail needs to
be inspected prior to acquisition by the State.
Again too there was much discussion on
where what trail users can be accommodated
on various trails either on the same trail or
trails next to each other.
It was discussed that a Cooperative Partner for
trails should be on the Council.
Also SCORP is going to be starting up soon-preplanning occurring NOW!
The next STAC was held the Monday after
our Winter meeting on January 13 in Wisconsin Rapids. At this meeting they discussed
Trail Funding Alternatives, Land Legacy, and
the Trails Management Team (TMT). Of
interest were the statements that State Stewardship money is bonded money and is therefore available even under the state budget
problems and that the DNR has a lot of
“outside income”. The new TMT committee
is looking at coordinating All State Trails.
The actual scope etc. of this team is still being
hammered out. The statement was made that
“we need more public recreation areas NOT
private—private recreation is closing more
and more”. Yet later in the meeting the statement was made that motorized recreation
should be private not public….ummm why is
that I wonder?
There was much discussion on the Kettle
Moraine Mountain Biking and it’s overuse.
They discussed the multi-use of some of these
trails and how some modifications needed to
be made where cross country ski trails are
better suited going straight down and bikes
should be more of a switch back and forth
type for erosion and holding down the speed
and making the trail more interesting. These
trails can be together at times and then split up
at other times.
There was a “Year of the Trails” summary.
This program was not backed by the governor
like the “Year of the Parks” was but there was
definite successes. The Rally was listed as
one of these trails and the entire list was submitted to the Department of Tourism for their
listing. It was agreed that many of these trail
activities would never have gotten the public
exposure in other years. I figure that our various events that are trail type events where the
public is welcome we should submit to the
Dept. of Tourism. So keep that in mind when
planning your event and looking at advertising angles.
There was much discussion on Rail Abandonment and who has the right of the land etc.
They had a conference call with an attorney
that is an expert on the subject and received
much very helpful information. Interesting
definition that came out of this was the definition of “Public Highway” which includes
trails such as snowmobile and other trails.
Also trails can be anywhere on the abandoned
rail “Public Highway” right-of-way and no
buildings can be on it. “Public Highways”
cannot be purchased for anything but “Public
Highways”. Ummm….I found this very interesting and still believe we have a right to having OHV trails on abandoned rails. Some of
these can be very interesting and also very
scenic and can be access or a corridor to other
trails.
Phil Barker of the Chequamegon-Nicolet
National Forest gave an update on the Forest
Plan. This should be out in March and as of
the date of that draft we have 90 days to

comment. The plan does not have anything new or changed from what we have
seen in the past as far as Four Wheel Drive
is concerned. I am hoping this comes out
before our meeting in April—note skepticism on March date—so we can work on
this at the convention. There was some
surprise on the inclusion of subject to
partnership with a four wheel drive organization and questioned the legality of such.
I found this very interesting that others
were questioning this.
The officers for 2003 for the STAC are
Mike McFadzen, chairman; Chris Kegel,
vice chair; and Jeff Butson, secretary.
Also Mike Sohasky attended the meeting
and received a plaque for his over 12 years
on the council and the active role he
played.
A new trail system called the Great Wisconsin Birding Trails was presented. This
trail system is basic on established roads
that take you to different scenic spots
where you walk in/on to observe birds and
other wildlife and wild flowers and scenery. It is a mapped out network of existing
parks, overlooks etc. Eventually there will
be trails like this all over the state.
When it came to the “Public Comment”
time I stated how no matter what the trail
use many of the users are out there appreciating nature, wildlife etc. including the
challenges etc. of our specific trail interests. I also announced to them the loss of
our grant due to the lack of the Nathional
Forest Service (NFS) getting the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) done in a
timely fashion and how the NFS is working to finish the EIS and has funding available to finish the project with the partners
of us and the pipeline. I also explained
how we are currently working on our
“Volunteer Patrol Program” from United
Four Wheel Drive Associations. I also
made a recommendation that a trails event
listing be continued as the one that was set
up for the “Year of the Trails”. It would
seem that people all over the US and even
outside of the US would be interested in
accessing such—they thought this would
be something that the Dept. of Tourism
should do since they have a sight for activities in the state now. The problem I see
with that is folks who are interested in trails
want to look up trails not all the other stuff
and I told the council I felt this was an important part of a Trails Council.
The next meeting will be held in April in
Madison. The date will very likely be the
third Monday in April. However, since the
focus of this meeting is to meet with legislators, possibly the governor and the new
DNR Secretary, they want the date to be a
bit flexible at this point. Anyone interested
in attending this meeting is very welcome.
You can touch bases with me for more info
and I will have the info on the onelist as
soon as I get it.
OHV COUNCIL Besides the STAC there
is an OHV Council that we should have
someone attending all their meetings also.
Currently I cannot justify the time to do this
too but I have asked if there is anyone interested in doing this. They have four meetings a year and they could be held anywhere
in the state. I currently have two people
who have volunteered for this and what I
am hoping is that these two folks can work
together so at least one is attending every
meeting and they can communicate information back and forth to each other and to
all of us.
MARCH OF DIMES RALLY This will
be the 25th year so we are looking at some
special things wherever it is held. It will be
held the weekend of September 13. I have
contacted Langlade County Forestry and the
Langlade County Fairgrounds and have an
OK for the weekend of September13. I am
still exploring the possibility of going to
Adams County since that is where the Rally
started 25 years ago. I have talked to the
Rome Town Clerk, the Rome Town Sheriff
and have some real good discussion going
with them and the Rome Town Hall could
be used. We also talked to the owner of
Deer Trails Campgrounds and they are very
willing and quite excited about accommodating us with the start and finish,camping
etc. depending on what we might want to
do. We took a nostalgic drive on some of
the roads around the more desirable area
that we used to run. That specific area is
as of 2002 an ATV park. This will be
another hurdle we will have to get pass if
we go to Adams and want to use that property. I have since met and discussed with
an individual from Plum Creek who are
the current owners of this land the possibility of the rally being held on their land
this year. I have submitted a letter and a
proposal to him. He said he would talk it
over with the legal department etc. and
would get back to me in about three
weeks. So hopefully by the time you read
this I will have an answer and can proceed.
NEED LOSS OF LAND I am hoping
that Mike Ketterhagen who has volunteered to accumulate this info is working
on it.
UNITED FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ASSOCIATIONS (U4WDA Nothing new
that hasn’t already been in the report that I
have already submitted.
LAKE STATES RESOURCE ALLIANCE (LSRA) I receive their newsletter. John Schnoor is attending their
meetings. The benefit banquet will be
held March 29 in Wausau—anyone
who wishes to attend should get a hold
of John or I. This banquet is always very
interesting and folks who have gone in the
past have really enjoyed it. It would be
great to see a good representation from
W4WDA. The LSRA has their raffle
tickets out and I know our club has already
received some. If interested in buying
and/or selling some raffle tickets for
LSRA contact John or I and we will get
you further info.
CHEQUAMEGON-NICOLET NATIONAL FOREST PLANNING The
planning process is continuing. The last
report was on ATV’s and OHV’s. They
also reported their Draft Forest Plan and
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
should be published near the end of calendar year 2002—you will note in my STAC
report that it is now scheduled for March
2003.

Also three of the main committee families
bought new homes and moved this summer. That in itself is a major undertaking
much less working on a rally.
With all the obstacles we still were ready
with a route with clues and everything else
by the time rally weekend came around.
Even with all the additional work this year
the committee had their usual good time
with lots of laughter and some great cookouts and fun campfires. One of the dilemmas we had this year was do we run the
route on road back to the finish or put them
back on more unsurfaced roads. We decided for the unsurfaced roads but thinking
back I think we probably should have just
ran them on the pavement at the end because it was just got too long (timewise) of
a route--even offroading can become too
much of a good thing.
On Thursday before the rally the big tent
was raised, tables and chairs were set up.
and signage put up at McCaslin Mountain
Campgrounds. Our good friend from Boston flew into Green Bay and was chauffeured up to McCaslin along with six live
lobsters. So that evening under the shelter
six of us feasted Boston style. One of the
prerequisites was that we wear a New England Patriots cap in order to partake in the
feast. Rod said he would “make the sacrifice” and not have any lobster if it meant

wearing such a hat! In actuality that was
just an excuse since he doesn’t like lobster.
But that was OK--more for the rest of us!
We also had an individual come up from
Indiana to help on the rally. He worked
one of the work weekends setting up the
route and was back to test the route and
work the rally.
As you can see, even though this event is
sponsored by the Wisconsin Four Wheel
Drive Association, we do have support
from out of Wisconsin. This also includes
our very good friends from Prairie State
Four Wheelers from Illinois who have
worked, donated, and participated for

years!
On Friday some of the committee and
some of those that would cover the checkpoints went out to check on the route one
last time. We also had a bit more maintenance to do such as lay several rocks in
one muddy spot so it didn’t break through
more and become impassable. We had lots
of hands and in no time it was handled. Of
course getting some 4-wheelers close to
mud can be a real problem and this time
the vehicles didn’t get real muddy but
some of the people definitely did! As we
returned to the Campgrounds we found it
was starting to fill up and as the evening
came upon us more and more people arrived and there was definite excitement in
the air. People converged under the tent to
assemble the goodie bags and chat with
friends they hadn’t seen for awhile.
Saturday morning registration was opened
for the participants and workers with
pledges were given special attention so
they could get to their posts. Yes, many of
the workers also have pledges and actually
two of the workers were in the top high
pledges. After the paperwork was done,
participants would have their vehicles tech
inspected and then would go to the starting
line to get their clues that would give them
the info on how to get through the route.

point.
The clues are tricky and one of the things I
find is folks try to look ahead on the clues
instead of watching for the clue they are on
and in the process get themselves all mixed
up.
This year we had a bit of excitement out on
the route in one of the areas that is not
close to any surfaced roads. After climbing a pretty good hill a vehicle started on
fire and it was put out with a fire extinguisher. This sounds like all is good except a person that was near by inhaled
some of the chemical and that person was
having a very hard time breathing--thought
at first it was a heart attack. By cell phone
they called 911 and told them they were
participating in the rally but were not sure
where they were. They were able to tell the
folks at 911 what clue they were on and by
that we were able to tell where they were
and the ambulance was dispatched to the
road that was in the vicinity and where we
would come out. One of our checkpoint
folks then drove the person to the road
while a volunteer EMT that was participating in the rally provided assistance. This
has prompted much discussion of needing
a panic map for the rally. This really
wouldn’t help a lot since a person would
have to know where they were to know
how to even read a map. Some really good
ideas have come from this experience on
how to improve on safety. We already
have checkpoints along the way and in the
cover letter we have contacts etc., but now
with so many having cell phones we can
incorporate that into the picture also with
cell numbers of checkpoints right on the
clue sheet--that’s with the assumption the
cell phones will work. We are also putting
the CB channel on the clue sheet instead
of the cover sheet and as always we will
have a map of the area in the goodie bag.
We have kicked around the idea of a panic
map and when out on the unsurfaced roads
many times there is no map and the rally
map would have to have clue numbers on
it to give a person any chance of knowing
where they are and if they are lost this
isn’t going to help anymore than the map
in their goodie bag. Also, as long as a
participant can give the folks at a checkpoint or the rallymaster a clue number and
they are on the route we will know exactly
where they are or if they can tell us at
what clue number they went astray we
know where to start looking for them. We
will be testing this thinking out since there
has been heavy pressure to have a panic
map but there are so many negatives to

Other than that the rally went without a
hitch except for the excessive heat was
with us. In spite of the heat folks were
enjoying the various checkpoints with their
various differing interesting activities.
Also we had poems going along two of the
longer areas in Burma Shave fashion
where nothing really much was happening
with a question in the clues that you would
need to read the whole poem to get the
answer. Both of these were written by our
committee poets in honor of “Boots”.
One of them read:
Perfect time was four hours and twenty
minutes otherwise 280 minutes. Scott and
Theresa Ohlrogge of Cato came in third
with 307 minutes. Mike Yaeger of Kiel
came in second with 278 minutes and Roy
Schachtschneider came in only 2 minutes
late with 280 minutes.
His jokes, His hat...His Jeep His coat; A
heart of gold, was this old goat!
The fifth & fourth highest pledges was
shared by both Steve Clavel of South Elgin, Illinois and Dick Goodman of Sheboygan with $900 each. Third highest
pledges was “Boots” represented by his
family and very close friends with $1,672.
Second highest pledges was Jeffrey Stein-
His laughs, His smiles...Brings our salutes,
To a good friend...best known as “Boots”.
The other one read:
While driving down this trail today,
There’s someone watching as we play.
So let’s say “Hi” and give two toots, To
our friend above whose name is “Boots”.
That evening we held the program under
the shelter. The Poker Run third place
winner was Kevin Ritschke of Oshkoshwith three of a kind; second place
winner was Mary King of Oshkosh with a

with $7,487.
There are some very special stories many
times on how individuals collect the
amount of pledges that they do. The one
that stands out this time that I know about
is the one of the Extreme Offroaders who
last year won the winch. They turned
around and sold tickets on it and raised
$1,100 that they turned around and donated as pledges to the March of Dimes in
this year’s rally.
We also had our major donors of Warn
Winch with a winch and Dunlop Tires with
four tires supporting us again.
All together there were only 172 vehicles
participating this year and yet raised
$42,000+ for the March of Dimes! Congratulations goes out to every single individual that either worked or participated in
this event to accomplish this.
None of this, of course, could have

Campgrounds!
After the program the band started playing
in the shelter and partying occurred in the
shelter under the big tent and under the
stars. The problem was those partying

enough and about 1:00 am the party was
over just to have folks going back to their
campsites and sit around the campfires for
awhile yet. No one seemed to want to end
the day where so much was accomplished.
The next day trailrides were lead out for
some running on the Mountain and then
back, loaded up and get home to be ready
for another week of work.
Next year will be the twenty-fifth Anniversary of the rally and are looking at doing
some special things to celebrate. I know
the rally will be the weekend of September
13 but are not sure of the locations as of
yet. As soon as we have that anchored
postcards will be mailed to the past participants and we will get it out on the Wisconsin Four Wheel Drive Association website.
So stay tuned and hope to see you there.

Land Use Report
Written by: Jennifer Weir
ACTION ALERT!
Background Briefing
A bill (House Study Bill 19) dealing with allterrain vehicles and snowmobiles has been
introduced in the House Natural Resources
Committee by the Chair of the committee
Representative Mary Lou Freeman. The concerns of the Iowa Association of 4-Wheel
Drive Clubs have been explained to Chair
Freeman. And she has given us the go-ahead
to attempt to amend HSB 19. The subcommittee will now meet to work on the bill this
upcoming week.
E-mail the members of the subcommittee and
full Natural Resources Committee
(listed below) NOW and;
The Iowa Association of 4 Wheel Drive
Clubs Inc., is trying to introduce
legislation to be added to an existing bill
to define off road vehicles.
Minnesota has a general classification of
motorized vehicles but in Iowa
full size 4 wheel drive for off road use
does not currently exist. February
4, 2003, the Association invited members from it's six clubs to come to the
capital to speak with legislators over a
light breakfast. The turnout was
fabulous!!! We had support from the
club memberships, we had two local
dealerships Bud Mulchay's Jeep and
Bett's Hummer that showed up as well as
112 out of 150 legislators that stopped in
to chat.
The topics of discussion were plans to
add the definition of off road
vehicles to legislation already approved
and discussions of last years House
File 100(HF 100). HF 100 covered material on a self funded program to open
four wheel drive parks and to maintain
them without using state funds.
Closely mirroring the sticker program
already put in place for ATV's
legislators seemed very open to the
1) Urge them to support an amendment to
HSB 19 that would have the Department of
Natural Resources identify navigable streams
and rivers in which an off-road vehicle can
be operated.
2) Urge them to add to the bill a request for
an estimate of funds needed for the establishment of an off-road vehicle registration program (similar to the ones currently in place
for all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles) by
the Department of Natural Resources.

idea's that we put forth and very
supportive of what we were trying to
accomplish.
Bob Rees the past President of the Association used an analogy that caught
the attention of many. He said if all of
the golfers in Iowa had just one
legal place to golf. It would be hard for
people to really golf. In my own
words Pandemonium! When applied to
four wheeling there is just one legal
spot in Iowa to go wheeling called 600
acres. This land, in all reality, is
just over 100 acres and it has ATV trails
and horse trails too. So the one
spot we can legally go isn't even all ours.
The meeting with the legislators was an
eye opener not only for the
Association members but for the legislators as well. There was a small
handful of legislators that really knew
what it was that 4 wheelers were all
about now their awareness has been increased 20 fold. We also feel that we
have curbed some confusion about the
term 4x4. It's no longer a stick of
wood and it's not an ATV either. We are
full size 4 wheel drive.

State of Minnesota Office Memorandum
Department of Natural Resources Trails and
Waterways Unit
DATE: January 22, 2003
TO: Regional and Area Supervisors, Central
Office Staff (Trails and Waterways),
Suellen Rau (License Center)
FROM: Paul E. Nordell, Projects Coordinator
Trails and Waterways
SUBJECT: Vehicle Registration History for
Minnesota Off-road Vehicles (ORVs) "the
trucks" 1994-2002.
Attached is information you may find useful
in understanding growth trends in this recreational activity. For a precise definition of
"ORV", which includes certain off-highway
trucks, consult Minnesota Statutes 2002,
Chapter 84.797, subd. 7. ORV means a motor-driven recreational vehicle capable of
cross-country travel on natural terrain without the benefit of a road or trail. Off-road
vehicle does not include a snowmobile; an
all-terrain vehicle; a motorcycle; a watercraft;
a farm vehicle being used for farming; a vehicle used for the military, fire, emergency,
or law enforcement purposes; a construction
of logging vehicle used in the performance of
its common function; a motor vehicle owned
by or operated under contract with a utility,
whether publicly or privately owned, when
used for work on utilities; a commercial vehicle being used for work purpose; snowgrooming equipment when used for its intended purpose; or an aircraft. In a nut shell,
the best way to describe the calendar year
ending December 31, 2002, for ORV "ing" is
as follows:
2,405 current registrations. This has been a
relatively small registration program, and
consequently, statewide numbers are relatively modest. The growth in registrations has
started slowly and not expanded rapidly. This
slow growth can largely be attributed to the
fact that few trails exist so far that require the
ORV registration, and, unlike all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, ORVs do not have
point-of-sale registration in the DNR's electronic licensing system. The ORV registration, however, is sold at the state's primary
ORV site in Gilbert, MN. Use on nondesignated trails and forest roads do not require the ORV to be registered. However, the
ORV is required to have a motor vehicle
registration with the Department of Public
Safety.If you have any questions on how to
use this information, feel free to contact me.

News from the Wisconsin Association
WISCONSIN LAND LEGACY The Natural Resources Board directed the Wisconsin
DNR to conduct a study identifying places
that would be critical in meeting Wisconsin’s
conservation and recreation needs over the
next 50 years. The outcome of this effort, the
draft Wisconsin Land Legacy Report is now
available and are taking comments through
January 24, 2003—even the date is now past
I would still send in my comments. You can

recreation needs that should be included on
some of these properties are trails for Four

The Lake States Resource Alliance (LSRA)
was organized to provide a forum for individuals, organizations, and governmental
bodies to join together to promote the multiple use of forests and related resources and
ideals which allow the general public to manage and conserve forests and related resources in a manner which fosters healthy,
vibrant, and productive conditions. LSRA
focus is on the publicly owned forestlands of
the Lake States (Michigan, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin).
The LSRA believe that the multiple uses of
public lands are vital to the economic well

KICKAPOO VALLEY RESERVE
(LaFarge) The Kickapoo Valley Reserve
Board is looking for public input from the
area as to what they want the land to be used
for. The local club “The Weekend Four
Wheelers” planned to be there and they
wanted W4WDA support. The date for the
meetings was supposed to be sometime in
January and I don’t know if they occurred
before our January meeting or not and if not
if we should had representation there to support the club. Orlin Clark is working with
the club and working on what action we
should take. I would think the least that
should be done is to send the Reserve Board
a letter with our opinion that Four Wheel
Drive (Jeeps, trucks etc.) should be a recognized use on this property.
being and enjoyment of the Lake States residents; that dedication of the public forestland
to single restricted purposes denies multiple

who own these lands.
Please help the LSRA keep public forests
healthy, productive, and available for public
enjoyment. Your support makes a difference.

Attention Members!
MW4WDA Members:
I would like to put together a presentation to show to perspective new clubs and associations about joining the MW4WDA.
To do this, I would like to get videos and pictures of MW4WDA events, meetings, and conventions, or anything to do with
the Midwest. Anything that you wish to contribute would be greatly appreciated, but please send a copy of anything you
want to keep for yourself. It will be too much of a challenge to keep track of the Items sent.
Thank you, for your participation.
