Sustainable Recreation Work

GroupThis Working Group is the result of legislation in 2008 who were directed to establish policy recommendations; provide a long term vision to ensure accessible, responsible and sustainable funding for outdoor recreation on Department of Natural Resources managed lands. The committee reviews existing laws and rules and will recommend policy changes and funding alternatives for consideration by the legislature in December 2009.

The Group members are from diverse backgrounds: recreation users (motorcycle/ATV and four wheel drive); environmental organizations; corporate and community leaders; major land owners; local, state, federal and Tribal governments; and members of the Legislature.

On May 7th the Sustainable Recreation Work Group (SRWG) met in Olympia for the third time; there were meeting options - either meet on a one on one basis or by online communication. During this forum the general public was invited and had the opportunity to listen in on the discussion and deliberations; or could attend the meeting at the Natural Resource Building in Olympia.

The meeting objectives were: General updates on 2009 legislation; DNR’s 2009-2011 Recreation Budget and review the Sub Committee’s work since January - with a presentation of preliminary recommendations on funding and access.

There was an hour and a half set aside for a “breakout session” to discuss undesignated trails (user built); policy and legal context; with time given on general planning for future work group business and public outreach – all to take place between now and

December; public workshops are being considered for sometime in September.

General information with regards to SRWG can be found at [email protected] fact sheet, progress report to the Legislature in December 2008, and policy issues to name a few.

~View from the Locked Gate

A bit of sarcasm about an access lesson.By Del & Stacie Albright, BlueRibbon Coalition

The gal in uniform with the big gun on her hip smiled and waved as she installed the recessed pad lock on the gate. I guess she thought we were happy about the road being closed. Her rugged 4x4 government-bought pickup truck that was kinda parked in our view had all sorts of signs and decals declaring she was a public servant. We fi gured it must be true.She had sent us an offi cial-looking letter a while back asking for comments, but the fi sh were a’bitin’ so we missed out on the letter-writin’. We fi gured someone else would write those darn letters. We fi gured wrong on all accounts. It was a heck of a view we had – trees, rocks, trails, roads, wildlife, mountains, creeks, and vast open areas beckoning to the adventurer in all of us. It’s easy to recall my Dad, Elmer, telling stories of roaming this kind of back country area 40 years ago with the freedom of a jack rabbit in the Mojave Desert. He always told us to get outdoors and have fun while taking care of the land. He fi gured we would all have the same freedom. He fi gured wrong.The ability, and most importantly the opportunity that my dad had to take his kids out and teach us how to fi sh, hunt, hike, play and breathe in the fresh air is all but gone now. My mind wanders off and I think of what can happen if we continue down this dangerous path of management by closure. Soon it will be just a happy memory of our nine year old when she was able to see nature, hike, take pictures and jump in and out of our 4 wheel drive while we were on the hunt for a new camp spot. Soon she will not have the opportunity to teach them the same lessons and family traditions that came naturally and innocently in her youth to her tots. Our view now is tainted, to say the least. Padlocks, iron pipe, closed signs, reinforced hinges, and small-print letting us know under no uncertain circumstances that the land beyond the gate is CLOSED to access – unless of course you want to haul your buns in there via boot rubber. Now, as I stand here watching

that same gal in uniform jump back into her four wheel drive (that I paid for) and drive on down my old favorite trail I get a lump in my throat and I get a little teary eyed just thinking about the view our kids are going to have from this same locked gate that’s in my backyard. I don’t think I’m fi guring wrong anymore. Back to the future: in reality, there are things we can all do to prevent this (sarcastic) scenario from happening. You’ve read tons of articles on getting involved, joining groups like BlueRibbon Coalition, and ensuring your family and friends have a place to ride. Just do it. Visit www.delalbright.com and www.sharetrails.org for more things you can do right now. Make a difference and help prevent closures from blocking our “view” any more. Join up, donate and get in the game. Please, before we have nothing left to fi gure on…The BlueRibbon Coalition is a national recreation group that champions responsible use of public lands and waters, and encourages individual environmental stewardship. It represents over 10,000 individual members and 1,200 organization and business members, for a combined total of over 600,000 recreationists nationwide. 1-800-258-3742. http://www.sharetrails.org

BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!

The increase in Ethanol in Fuel Blends has not had

scientifi c testing!

TELL THE EPA TO DENY WAIVER PETITION TO

ALLOW E15

The alert concerns BRC members and supports who have marine engines (this means boats and Personal Water Craft (PWC) owners). Please take action today! As you may know, a pro-ethanol lobbying organization called Growth Energy and 54 ethanol manufacturers recently submitted a formal petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requesting a waiver under the Clean Air Act to increase ethanol blend levels in gasoline up to 15 percent (E15) by volume. As is required by law, the EPA on April 21 published a Notice for Comment in the Federal Register, beginning a 30-day public comment period that closes on May 21, 2009. There is enormous political pressure on federal agencies to allow a high blend level despite well-known problems with mid-level ethanol gasoline.We are asking all interested parties to submit comments to the EPA arguing that the waiver petition be denied. Although the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) has been working with the EPA and Department of Energy (DOE) to initiate testing on marine engines and equipment and has formally submitted a test plan for our sector, there has been no testing to date by any federal agency on the impacts of mid-level ethanol blends on marine products. As you all know, marine engines are designed and certifi ed to run on not more than E10, the current legal allowable blend limit. Increasing the limit will likely bring marine engines out of compliance with federal clear air laws, damage marine engines due to higher temperatures, pose safety risks to boaters and sportsmen and likely mean warranties will be voided.We ask you to support a science-fi rst approach and urge the EPA to deny the ethanol industry’s E15 waiver request unless and until independent and comprehensive scientifi c testing is completed on a full range of marine engines and other products.Send comments directly to the EPA.

E&E: PUBLIC LANDS: Western

lawmakers blast 24M

acre Northern Rockies

wilderness proposal

(05/06/2009)Eric Bontrager,

E&E reporter

Western House Republicans yesterday took aim at legislation to protect 24 million acres of the Northern Rockies as wilderness, accusing the proposal’s mostly Eastern supporters of meddling in the management of their lands.The legislation, H.R. 980, is the second-largest wilderness proposal in U.S. history, protecting lands in fi ve Western states while designating more than 1,800 miles of rivers as “wild and scenic.”

The “Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act,” or NREPA, has a bipartisan group of 75 co-sponsors, but Western Republicans told the House National Parks, Forests and Public Lands Subcommittee yesterday that none of the supporters are either from the districts that would be affected by the proposal or have any idea how a wilderness designation might affect the area’s rural communities.

“At the end of the day, this is about Washington, D.C., thinking it knows how to manage the Northern Rockies better than the people who live there,” said Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.). “I’m here to say that isn’t the case.”

Rehberg said Western states have long been able to work with the federal government to manage the federal lands within their borders in a manner that offers protection of natural resources while allowing multiple uses like energy development, logging and outdoor recreation -- an ability the opponents claim would be taken away with the wilderness designation.

The Obama administration also expressed its qualms about the bill. While not fl atly opposing the long-running proposal, as the Bush administration had, Deputy Forest Service Chief Joel Holtrop said the agency was concerned

about the effect such a large designation would have on existing planning efforts that are done on a smaller scale and include interaction with local communities.

“Clearly national forests are national resources, national habitats that are managed for all the American public,” Holtrop said. “The concern I have with an effort as overarching as this is it hasn’t been as collaborative as some of our local efforts.”Michael Nedd, acting deputy director of the Bureau of Land Management, added that while many of the agency lands named in the bill are deserving of special protection, the legislation could present confl icts with road systems, mining claims and energy transmission corridors.

One of the proposal’s longtime supporters, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer/songwriter Carole King, said yesterday that the measure is the product of years of work with local stakeholders like wilderness and wildlife advocates who believe the designation is necessary to protect habitats and migration corridors.

“NREPA is a bottom-up, grass roots effort conceived by local residents who understood the ecological and economic benefi ts of protecting an ecosystem owned by all Americans,” King said.

The legislation would designate about 9.5 million acres of land in Idaho as wilderness, 7 million acres in Montana, 5 million acres in Wyoming, 750,000 acres in eastern Oregon, and 500,000 acres in eastern Washington.

The wilderness areas are designed to protect the habitat of grizzly bears, caribou, elk, bison, salmon and other species in the Northern Rockies. The legislation also includes provisions to restore more than 6,000 miles of damaged or unused roads and establishes biological connecting corridors between large parcels of federal lands.

The preservation of these lands, she said, would also help ensure species’ survival in the face of climate change by allowing animals to migrate to cooler elevations.

King’s support of the legislation was the subject of some ridicule from Republican members of the Natural Resources Committee, who earlier this week sent out a press release lifting excerpts from her 1971 hit “I Feel the Earth Move” to illustrate their concerns with the bill, including

its lack of local support.

“For the past 17 years, Democrats have tried to pass this bill -- causing residents’ ‘hearts to start to trembling’ whenever NREPA’s around,” the release said.

But King and the bill’s chief sponsor, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), said they were unconcerned by opposition from lawmakers in the region because their original proposal was drafted by stakeholders who understand the need for the wilderness protections.“They asked us to sponsor the bill because legislators in their own states do not do what needs to be done,” said Maloney, adding that sponsors are trying to enlist more support from local leaders in the affected areas.

NREPA was fi rst introduced in 1992 and hearings were held under Democratic control in 1994, but it received no consideration by GOP leaders of the Resources Committee during the following 12 years. The House Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on the bill in 2007 after Democrats took back control of Congress, but the measure never came to a markup.

Subcommittee ranking member Rob Bishop (R-Utah) said the same questions remain, including how the bill would protect the rights of private property owners whose lands would become inholdings in the proposed wilderness areas and the overall cost of implementing the bill.

“We asked these questions two years ago,” Bishop said. “The answers are still not here.”Subcommittee Chairman Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) admitted that the size of the designation presented some “unique questions” for how to move forward with implementing the proposal but said many of the concerns could be addressed with amendments when the bill comes for a markup in committee.

How you can help: Send a letter to Congress saying NO TO NREPA. BRC and other national OHV groups work together to track the hundreds of pieces of legislation affecting your right to ride. Your response to our action alerts is our best tool in fi ghting these land lock-up bills. A short list of just a few of the bills on our radar is included below.

Thanks in advance for your action,

PS: We want our members to know that we appreciate it when you all take time from work and family to respond to our alerts. We try our best to make certain your time isn’t wasted.

PSS: BRC’s Public Lands guys want to give kudos to Dave Hurwitz and the gang over at Snowmobile Alliance of Western States (SAWS). Insofar as grass roots activists go, Hurwitz and his SAWS volunteers in Idaho, Oregon and Montana have been aggressively opposing NREPA since 1993. SAWS has a lot of good information on NREPA and other Wilderness bills on their website: http://www.snowmobile-alliance.org/Here are a few of the bills BRC is watching:

• H.R.1769 & S. 721 -Alpine Lakes Wilderness expansion in the State of Washington

• Mojave Desert Wilderness bill - Senator Feinstein’s effort to designate more Wilderness in San Bernardino, Imperial, and Riverside counties

• H.R.192 Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act (CIEDRA) will designate over 3 million acres of additional Wilderness in Idaho

• Montana’s Beaverhead-Deerlodge Conservation, Restoration and Stewardship Act, a bill to add an additional half million acres of new Wilderness in Montana

• Legislation to designate Johnson Valley a National Recreation Area (BRC is supporting this one!)

• SUWA’s massive Utah Wilderness bill (H.R.1925 and S.799)

• The ongoing county-by-county Wilderness approach currently underway in Nevada, Colorado and Utah

All Wheelers Off Road Club - Ahtanum State Forest Green

Dot road & trail work.May 8th - 10th, 2009

On Friday May 8th, 2009 we went up to the Ahtanum Sno-park to set up camp for the weekend. Greg Mackey from the DNR came by our camp and dropped off the tools and things to use on our adopted trails.

Here are the Graham boys (Charlie 5 years old, Odo 2 years old & Doc 4 years old) picking up trash in the camp site before we set up.

As the day went our members showed up to camp. The next morning we had more members show up for the run.

We headed out toward the trail around 10:30 AM or so. As we turned onto Whites Ridge Loop Trail we saw a Green Dot Marker down so we stopped to fi x it.

Joey Waterman and Mandy Graham.

On up the trail as it turned toward the west we found a tree top on the road.

Terry Muffett pulled the tree onto an old blocked off road with his Jeep.

Not far after that area we hit snow patches.We all turned around knowing just around the corner the snow was drifted badly on the north face. We went back down to the Ahtanum Mid Fork Road. Then we headed up and got on the other side of the Whites Ridge Loop Road snow drifts. Next we turned up Whites Ridge Crest Trail. We came up to another tree that dropped it parts.

The volunteers worked and cleared the trail.

Next we came up on a tree that had fell during the winter some time. The end of the tree was covered with snow so we could not pull it around out of the way.

Terry Muffett used my chainsaw to cut a path between the down tree

At the intersection of Whites Ridge Crest Trail and Whites Ridge Cross-over Trail we had some Green Dot Markers to repair and replace.

Out of the 4 markers only one was ok. One was broken, another missing and the other way in the wrong spot.

The missing marker.

Steve Haverfi eld, Joey Waterman and Terry Muffett put in a new marker.

The marker in the wrong spot.

Joey Waterman, Brandon Hoekstra, Steve

Haverfi eld, and Terry Muffett happy that area is fi nished.

The Upper Whites Ridge climb had snow on it as it did the year before. We headed back down to Whites Ridge Cross-over trail and ran it down to the Mid Fork Road.

Some of the members had to head out so we all drove back down to the All Wheelers Off Road Club camp at the Ahtanum Sno-park.

All Wheelers Off Road Club camp.

After some of the members left, we headed up Sedge Ridge. We took A-2400 and turned upA-2420. We came up on an area where some trees fell into the road and people were driving up the back to go around them.

4-Wheelin’ News JUNE 2009 7 Continued on page 8

Terry Muffett ran the saw again.

Volunteers cleared the trail.

Up on top of the ridge, we turned Southwest on the Sedge Ridge Crest Trail (1490). We found a broken Green Dot confi dence Marker.

Volunteers work to replace it with a new marker.

At Red Saddle there was another broken Green Dot marker.

Joey Waterman telling us he had stood it up the best he could last July at the Ahtanum Trails Clean-up.

Volunteers replaced it too.

Doug Palmer adding the Green Dots.

On up the Sedge Ridge Crest Trail above Red Saddle we some snow patches. We found another tree down. Someone had cut the end off but not enough to keep people on the trail.

Terry Muffett, Joey Waterman and Doug Palmer

clearing the trail.

We got up to the Rocky Climb to see it covered with snow. We head back down to Red Saddle

and then down A-2400 toward the Sno-park. On

A-2400 at A-2420 we replaced a missing Green Dot Marker.

Down close to the Sno-park we replace a shot up

marker on A-2400.It was close to 8 PM. Doug Palmer was happy this was the last Green Dot Marker to do since he wants to eat dinner.

Back at camp Terry Muffett left for home and we

had dinner around the campfi re.

The next morning we all packed up. We turned in the DNR tools, green dots and markers at the DNR guard station. Everyone other than my family left. We stayed to wheel some more. 99 Drove the Tweety Jeep and I drove the Sami. We headed back up on Sedge Ridge taking A-2400. A long the way we found another Green Dot sign down we had missed the night before. It was an easy fi x with my shovel.

Clay Graham digging a hole. On past Red Saddle we found there was a Green Dot marker missing.

As we were looking for the missing marker we saw the old road marker was down.Mandy Graham stacked rocks around a marker to stand it up.

We could not fi nd the missing marker and had already turned the new ones in so we will have to

replace it another time..

We went on and turned up the South Fork Road. It


Continued from page 7

wasn’t to far up we found patches of snow. As we turned up the Sedge Ridge Crest trail the snow got soft. We got turned around at started heading down. We ran the South Fork road down and then went up Boulder Trail. At the top of Boulder Trail we found another down marker.

Clay Graham working on standing a marker.

I could only dig down a little so I had to put rocks around the

marker. One rock had big black fl ying ants under it and I made them mad when I picked the rock up. The marker is good enough for now. lol

Up on Sedge Ridge Crest Trail we found a tree across the trail and a new by-pass.

We fi xed it since I still had my chainsaw in the Tweety Jeep.

Doc Graham and Mandy Graham clearing the trail.

We went down A-2420 and then down A-2400 back to our camp at the Sno-park. We loaded the Sami on the trailer and aired up the Tweety tires. We headed home from our great weekend This was a great run thanks to everyone that came. Thank you to all the people that helped do the trail maintance. We logged 117.5 volunteer hours with the DNR.

Regi on 3

May 20, 2009The meeting was called to order by Angie Holm at 7:30, followed by the fl ag salute and a moment of silence for the ill and departed. There were 15 delegates present, representing 10 clubs.

Secretary Report: Motion was made by Kat Clark to approve the minutes as distributed to yahoo groups and Tri Power, Tom James (Moose), 2nd.

Directors Report: Discussed a few items that have been in the back burner for a while:

Banners- Angie got a quote from Darrin Fisher, person who did the PNW banners for the Tacoma Dome Monster Truck Show, for a 20 x 5 banner, it will cost $345.00, delegates were instructed to take the issue back to their respective clubs and discuss if this is an acceptable price. To be voted on in June.

PR Items- Angie discussed some items she purchased for the Truck Fest in Port Townsend for PR. She purchased some mini fl ying discs and had some mini PNW logo stickers made to put on them. She also purchased mini key chain clips and added the PNW website to them. She brought the items for ‘show n tell’ and discuss if anyone had any other ideas.

Spring Clean Up- Spring Clean Up was April 18, 2009 at Ocean City. It went great. We had 15 volunteers representing 5 clubs. We fi lled a 30 yd dumpster, was treated to a BBQ lunch put on by the local food bank and numerous volunteers. This was our 2nd year. Winter Convention 2011 Winter Convention 2011 bid was discussed; all clubs presented stated they would like to put on WC 2011. Grace and Angie will start looking into hotels, casinos etc.

Competition: Region 1 Relay Try-outs are July 18, 2009 at the Outdoor 4x4 playday in Ethel.

Land & Legislative: If you haven’t already done so, please let Jim know by June 1st how many hours you or your club is willing to donate for these grants.

Reiter Trails: Reiter Trail Clean Up was the fi rst Sunday in May. DNR has been writing more tickets to make sure you drive only where it’s legal. They feel the education period has passed. DNR has closed the trail by the power lines with a gate. This trail is now a day use only trail. Camping has

been restricted to the parking lot and to the garden area and there has also been port-a-potties left in the area for campers. RTW (Reiter Trail Watch) will be done by June 31st. This is the committee formed to work with DNR regarding the trails. Isabelle trail has also been closed for good. In order to access the Isabelle trail a very large expensive bridge would need to be built and there is no hope that it will ever happen. There are two trails which have been approved to be reopened and are deemed ‘approved’ trails.

Walker Valley: The Rainier Ridge Rams were up at Walker recently and discovered that someone had torn up a large section which was previously barricaded off. They fi xed the barricade but indicated that the in order to fi x the torn up area it will require several hours of work with a lot of rock. Currently Jim Cahill is working with several PNW members in assisting with naming some of the trials at Walker. There is an upcoming maintenance work party scheduled for June 20, 2009, meet in the parking lot at 9am.

Region Reports: Food Drive: Bring in food, once Grace has a couple of boxes she’ll bring it to the food bank.

There is a benefi t for this event on May 30th at a local club’s challenge (currently not a member of the PNW).

More Info on the

“Wheelers for the

Wounded” event

In February of 2008 – I became aware of a program called, “Wheelers for the Wounded.” It was an initiative being organized by a guy in Iraq. Jason Havlik is his name, and he was in the military in the fi rst Gulf War, and was back in Iraq as a private contractor. He saw a young soldier get his legs blown off by an improvised explosive device. Of course – that troop was discharged and went home to Texas. Sometime afterward, Jason was back in the states for some time off, and he checked in with that soldier to see how he was doing. He took his off-road vehicle to take this wounded vet for a little trail ride and a camp out – just a weekend of respite and a change of pace for that vet. Some local off-roaders got wind of the ride and came along – and it was agreed that this was an idea that should be done on a larger scale. “Wheelers for the Wounded” was born from that humble start. Jason planted this seed with off-road clubs throughout the United States – and the result is that this year, off road clubs have organized over 20 events throughout America (starting in Florida, looping out west, and back to the east coast again, with the fi nal event in Texas), basically to say “thank you” to our wounded vets who have lives changed beyond imagination – due to their commitments made in service to their/our country.

This is what got me. I didn’t make it to Viet Nam – being that my number in the draft lottery was pretty high, and I was in college besides. And then a year after I started school, the war ended. But I recently started feeling for these wounded vets – of any war, but especially of recent time. Younger folks with everything in their lives ahead of them – choose the military – and die, or are physically compromised, or are head injured. They come back from the stresses of service – with relationships broken, abilities compromised. Or those called up from National Guard commitments – so just think if you’re 30, or 40, or 50 – with a settled life, and a home, and a family, and a career – and all of a sudden – you’re uprooted to service in an armed confl ict in a land far away. To say it is mind-boggling really gives short shrift to the feelings I was

feeling inside as I considered these sacrifi ces chosen by these people. It hooked me. Part of me didn’t want to put myself out to do this event. It felt uncomfortable, and seemed too much like work. Yet – how puny is my discomfort in the face of what our vets – both obviously or spiritually wounded – have chosen to take on. Yes – I decided I would take on an event to honor those who have served.

As one of over 20 events happening nationwide – the Washington State Wheelers for the Wounded event is being organized by Timber Tamers 4x4 Club. The event will occur over the July 4th

weekend near Belfair, WA. Base camp and Saturday night dinner will happen at Sahale Retreat Center in Tahuya, WA July 3 through 5, and the trail ride will happen on July 4th at the Tahuya State Forest ORV area. (Registration is required to attend the event.)

More Info on the “Wheelers for the Wounded” event

If any of the above has piqued your interest to fi nd out more –

Info on the national organization/national event schedule can be found at www.wheelersforthewounded.org

Info on the local event can be found at www.timbertamers.org (click “come on in” then go to the WFTW heading)

The event is being held July 3-5 weekend – base camp is Sahale, the trail ride is happening on July 4th at the ORV area of the Tahuya State Forest.

If you’d like to come – registration is required, and can be found on the Timber Tamers website. You can come for the entire weekend, or for the Saturday trail ride and dinner.

If you know of vets/wounded vets who might be interested to come, please pass the word. As wounded vets are our guests and honorees – there is no cost for them to participate.

We are accepting donations in support of the local event. We hope/aim for funds in excess of local event costs – which will be donated to Fisher House – an organization assisting with low/no cost housing for the families of wounded vets in case military medical care takes them away from home for extended stays. Info on Fisher House can be found at www.fi sherhouse.org .

Any other questions – please call or e-mail me.

2009 Beverly Dunes Clean-upMay 2nd, 2009

Hosted by the All Wheelers Off Road Club with cooperation from the DNR.

On the weekend of May 1st - May 3rd, 2009 we had a campout at BeverlyDunes for our annual clean-up. The ORV area had less trash to pick up this year. Beverly Dunes is now cleaner thanks to the 35 volunteers that helped. ORV users do care about their areas:

They put in a total of 170 volunteer hours.

Friday afternoon we started setting up camp. We fi rst did a clean-up in camp.Charlie Graham age 5 worked hard picking up all these nails froman old burn pit.

Saturday morning Mike Williams from the DNR came and so did the rest of the volunteers. We started the clean-up at 10 AM. Most of the rigs started at the east end and worked their way back to camp. The quad riders hit the tighttrails along the creek.

Doc Graham age 4 going for some trash.

Odo Graham age 2 coming to lend his brother Doc a hand.

It took just a few hours to get the dunes picked up because of the amount ofvolunteers that came to help. A few guys were still out fi xing the fence.

The rest the volunteers went back to camp to unload the trash.Mike

Williams making room for the trash in the DNR truck.

To all the volunteers, thank you very much for your help. This was a great timeand for a good cause.

NOHVCC hosting

workshopThe NOHVCC will be hosting a workshop webinar series this summer and fall. The series includes 4 webinar sessions, each of which will last between 2 – 3 hours or more, depending on participation.

The fi rst session, Understanding Planning Processes, will help people understand how land planning, particularly on Forest Service Lands, has progressed to the place it is today. The second session, Getting Involved – Saving Your Trails, will help riders understand how to be effective in their efforts to infl uence the decisions that will determine where they can ride. Sessions Three and four, Planning OHV Trails – Part 1 and Planning OHV Trails – Part 2, will help riders and land managers understand how to plan, design, manage, and maintain trail systems that meet riders’ needs by providing high quality and adequate quantities of trails that riders will want to stay on, not trails that they have to stay on.

Please help us schedule the webinars during the dates and times that will work best for most people. Click on the link below to give us your opinion on what dates and times would be best. It should take less than 5 minutes to give us your opinion. We will schedule the sessions several times during the summer using the top dates and times listed. We hope to be able to allow as many people to participate in these sessions as possible. To take the poll, go to: http://www.doodle.com/mz5i5dcc4siw2z23.

May Declared Protect Your Right to Ride

MonthPOCATELLO, ID (April 30) - The BlueRibbon Coalition, a national trail-based recreation group, announces a new nationwide effort to keep riding areas open for responsible OHV use. KTM North America and FMF Racing have banded together with a giveaway of a brand new motorcycle and quiet exhaust system to strongly support the access efforts of BRC and other land-use organizations by declaring the month of May as Protect Your Right to Ride month.“In these tough economic times we feel it is essential to take time to inform motorcycle enthusiasts on how they can become involved in the motorcycle organizations that are protecting their right to ride. The last thing we can afford to lose is our riding areas,” commented KTM President Jon-Erik Burleson.There is power in numbers and now is the time for OHV recreationists to join forces to ensure that everyone has a place to enjoy the sport. There are many legal riding areas across the country that are facing land use and noise emission regulations which could threaten or potentially close the areas from off-road-related recreation activities.Greg Mumm, BRC Executive Director, states, “This is a precedent-setting effort by two international companies to help protect our recreational access to public lands. This nationwide program will make a difference to bolster our membership numbers and to send a strong message to closure advocates that riders are going to fi ght back.”During the month of May, visit a KTM dealer to fi nd out information about what you can do to protect your right to ride. Each KTM dealer will supply materials provided by the motorcyclist activist clubs and organizations that have been fi ghting for your rights all along. When you visit your KTM dealer and show your BRC, AMA and/or ORBA membership card, or choose to sign up for a membership at the dealership, you will receive an entry toward a chance to win a brand new KTM 250 XC-FW with an FMF Q4 Titanium exhaust system. Participants will receive one entry for each of the organizations to which they belong.KTM North America is an avid supporter of BRC and other land-use groups and has taken an active role along with FMF to help these organizations reach a larger part of the motorcycle community through the implementation of Protect

Your Right to Ride Month. Please take time to stop by your KTM dealer in May and learn what you can do to become an active member of the motorcycle community and protect your right to ride.To Find a Local KTM Dealer go to: h t t p : / /www.k tmusa . com/Dealer-Locator.77.20.htmlNew FMF Land Use Website: www.soundoffmc.com

Thanks to those

raising. The auction will last into May of 2009, with many items available for bidding. Included among them are gift certifi cates, trail guide books, snowmobile boots, a tire pressure gauge, CB radio antenna, lodging in West Yellowstone, and more.

Rich Segebartt works on a Toyota T100, welding on some new fenders wells.

Rich Segebartt works on a Toyota T100, welding on some new fenders wells.

This solid axle Toyota T100 is having a fews tubes replaced after a tree fell on top of it.

Metal Havoc did a great job with the exo cage, tube bed, and front fenders on this Toyota T100.

Metal Havoc is based out of Auburn, WA. It is owned and operated by Rich Segebartt. Segebartt has been into four wheeling for as long as he can remember. His fi rst wheeler was his dad’s Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40; he and his brother would take it out to Raymonds Dales (RESEARCH NAME).

Segebartt got into Suzuki Samaris, which is how he got into fabricating. Ten years ago there were few companies making parts for Suzuki Samaris, and the ones that were Segebartt did not like. So he got himself a welder and some metal, and taught himself to weld, which enabled him to get a job with FST Motorsport in Phoenix, AZ.

Most of Segebartt’s fab skill was self taught, but he was able to learn a bit more working for FST. After only one week with FST he was promoted to the crew team.

Segebartt moved back to his hometown in Auburn, WA, and continued to fabricate things for his Samari. He got a job working nights at Boeing which allowed him to keep wheeling. Out on the trail people would always ask Segebartt if he would build stuff for them. After he saw the income potential of his hobby, he decided to go into business for himself part-time. This is how Metal Havoc was born.

Segebartt fabs up very creative and unique metal work without sacrifi cing functionality. He takes a customer’s idea, and with budget in mind, designs it to look great and be functional at the same time. Segebartt holds really high standards for his work and will never do anything second rate.

He worked mostly on sand cars in Arizona and is currently working on one for himself. This does not mean that he has forgotten his roots in rock crawling. Segebartt is currently working on an exo cage on a very nice SAS Toyota T100. The T100 would have been completed already, but during one of the recent storms in Washington a tree fell on top of his truck and new exo cage. This only proves the quality of Segebartt’s fabrication, because if someone had been in that truck during the storm they would have come out unharmed – and the truck made it through with only a few bent tubes and not a single weld broken. The bent tubes will just be replaced.

Segebartt’s favorite truck he has worked on was his fi rst Suzuki Samari. He wheeled it all over Arizona when he lived there, and all of his fab work held up great. His Samari was featured along side of a few other trucks he built in Sport and Utility Magazine. He also used that Samari to compete

in a few of the Pacifi c Northwest rock crawling organization events.

Metal Havoc does mostly custom work such as exo cages, rock sliders, bumpers, suspension, and sand cars, but also makes some bolt-on Jeep bumpers and sliders. He is also designing some bumpers with removable pieces to make the truck street legal; once the pieces are removed he will have the approach angle desired. Along with that, he is working on weld-on bumper reinforcement and brush guards to keep the truck’s bumpers legal but be able to handle any trail.

Metal Havoc does not run with any specifi c clubs or organizations because he wants to stay open to any type of fabrication. Segebartt says that metal is metal and it all welds the same no matter what type of vehicle.

For more information about Metal Havoc you may visit them online at www.metalhavoc.com or call 360-886-1879.

Rich Segebartt takes some measurements on this 4Runner’s exo cage.

Rich not only builds strong products but he designs them to look great.

Metal Havoc has a great set up, with everything you could need to fabricate anything.

Every tube follows into each other to provide strength and design.

Great design with strength in mind.
