The online forum will gather the public’s input about the demand for outdoor recreation, what people want to see in their parks and on their trails, what prevents people from recreating outdoors and the quality of their experiences when they do. To participate in the online public meetings, visit www.scorpwa.wo rdpress.com. You can participate at any time of day. The meeting will start with a series of questions about commercialization of parks, and new questions will be added regularly. The first series of questions asks people what they think about allowing advertising or corporate naming rights in our public parks. It also asks if parks should allow businesses, such as small grocery stores or gift shops. It asks whether new types of recreation, such as zip lines, should be part of our public parks. And finally, it asks whether wireless Internet access should be allowed in public parks. “These are thought provoking questions that are facing our recreational professionals every day,” said Kaleen Cottingham, director of the Recreation and Conservation office. “We don’t know the answers and we want to find out what people really want their outdoor experiences to be like.” The Recreation and Conservation Office is hosting the online meetings as part of its revision to the state’s strategic plan for outdoor recreation. The state’s plan needs to be updated every 5 years to keep Washington eligible for federal funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The Recreation and Conservation Office uses the federal dollars for grants to local communities to build parks and trails, and conserve wildlife habitat.

Olympic 4x4 Supply has 'stepped up to the plate' EACH year of PUAM by supporting us, donating as well as selling us items at a reduced rate because they believe in the PNW4WDA as a whole. People started setting up camp Thursday afternoon and by Friday night the park was packed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday September 15th, 2012 the day started with a driver's meeting at 8 AM. Naches Ranger Irene Davidson came out to talk with us before we headed out into the mountains. There were many fires in the area and we needed to be out of the way of he fire crews. She also wanted us to report any fires we saw as we were out. Here are some photos of the 2012 Pick Up A Mountain: Getting ready for Saturday morning drivers meeting. After the drivers meeting we took a group photo of the rigs and headed out. Our group Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch (a division of Eastern Washington Adventures) headed up FS1701 which is across the road from Jim Sprick Park. We stopped at the intersection of FS1701 & FS530 to clean up the camps. Next we ran to the end of FS1701 and turned up 4W694. We picked up trash along the way. We took a lunch break at the Manastash View Point. After lunch we continued on 4W694. We drive around Funny Rocks since other were there. At 4W695 we turned up it and stopped to pick up trash at Moon Rocks. Next we headed down 4W695 and turned back onto FS1701. We normally run FS530 up to Bald Mountain and take 4W675 down but there looked to be a fire near 4W675. This year we just ran FS1701 back down. In the afternoon they had games for the Junior Jeepers. In the evening they had the Corn Shucking Contest. Joleene Vessey won the Corn Shucking Contest the second year in a row. Naches Ranger Irene Davidson came out to talk with us before we headed out into the mountains. After all the corn was shucked and cooked, they had a potluck dinner. Pollock's Rears and Gears donated the pork for Pulled Pork. Around 6 PM the raffle started. There were many great raffle prizes. After the raffle the DJ donated by Build-It Offroad played music and some danced. On Sunday Region 4 had a free breakfast for the volunteers. Our group Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch (a division of Eastern Washington Adventures) cooked breakfast. Some of our members bought in some extras: 10 pounds of bacon donated by Jerry's Valley Meats via Doug Palmer. A lot of Eggs donated by Steve & Rose Haverfield. Fruit donated by Terry & Missy Muffett. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PUAM Director Pam Remley along with PNW4WDA Region 4 wants to thank all who helped make this event work, thank you to all the volunteers that picked up trash and thank you to all that donated.

Director 541-389-7265 OrExec@pnw4wda.net Randy Drake Oregon Exec. Director January Report 2013 events are totally produced and carried out by volunteers who spend their spare quarters and dimes and spare minutes presenting world class trail events for PNW members and others who enjoy our public lands. Think about spending some of your time with us as we work with the agencies to keep available these and other events. It is a sure thing if you don’t it will become a much smaller three ring circus. They have a plan and that is to remove ever motor off of your public lands forever and ever. 2012’s Summer Convention (4x4 racing events to the new guys) was awesome as you mark your calendars hold time out in August for the races as a racer or spectator. This year the young generation is taking the lead and putting their efforts into holding the event; it looks to be an exciting weekend for racers and spectators. I have my rig in process as I write and I hope I see you there. Thank you Future FourWheelers for putting on this event for 2013. Oregon Dunes’ comment period has been extended to January 24th. I hope you sent your thoughts and comments to the Siuslaw NF for recording. The issue here (in the vegetation around and in the ODNRADRP) is closing trails and open dunes as the wind changes the dunes. The dunes are being driven inward which changes the area to ride continuously. Unlike the past these new play area are in green vegetation planted by man to stop the eroding sand which is not working as the new play areas are in evidence. The second issue is the Siuslaw National Forest in all alternatives decrease the dune area for riding and drivers when we have increased hundred times fold just does not make since. Yes build or sign existing trails but leave every square inch open possible. The sand is moving into and out of the vegetation so the new area has to be included as open riding area. You can do this on line or in the mail. E-mail your comment (s) to comments-pacificnorthwest-siuslawcentralcoast@fs.fed.us. Comments are not complete without your full name, address and leave your phone number. This is our right to use public lands which have been set aside Today is the shortest day and the end of the world and I hope there will be more daylight and a world left as you read this. December marks the end of another year and the counting of new days to a fresh start with 2013 upon us. Floods, fires, firearms, four wheel drivers wanting for trails are behinds us and a new future is full of opportunities in 2013. I and all my friends are pretty tired of lemonade made from the proverbial lemons that have been handed us in 2012 from public land mangers... But, ‘never tire of doing good’ echoes in my head and I place one footstep in front of another and I will go on. 2013 will be a good year to change the outcome of the past years. Wheeling into the future would be a good motto to adapt. specifically for OHVs use. There will be plenty more decisions that need commenting on as the New Year ticks on. The sage grouse is going to take a big chunk of attention from environmentalist and agency alike. If they are allowed to have their way millions of acres will become road less. Many decisions on our public lands have been postponed until a decision and policy comes down on the prairie chicken in question. Be it frog, owl or bird we as citizens of America; utilizing motorized vehicles stand to lose ground. Standing united with comments to public elected officials and the agency decision makers will slow the above mentioned gears. Now is not the time to become weary my friends and colleagues. Much headway has been made and we do have some proof of our hard work. Oregon’s OHV maps include 5 new areas of difficult to extreme 4 wheeling. Washington’s land managers continue to know PNW 4-Wheelers will not go away and are willing to put their efforts where their hearts are. Idaho is filling with clubs they may not be PNW but they are actively addressing the Future four- wheelers and Class II vehicle use is the reason I continue in my position in the Pacific Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association. You can call them whatever you wish including grandchildren that show little interest in the back seat of my jeep or any outdoor recreation without AC/DC power. Still the access we enjoy is a precious commodity and I am unwilling to give the ‘right’ away without some effort on my part to curtail the anti-access gears as they mow over my public lands powered by big pockets, closed minds and litigations behind our backs and under the table. Public lands belong to all Americans; particularly the largest user group which is motorized use whether for work or pleasure. So the NEW YEAR Baby is here and waking up to some stark realities; made to grow up to soon and get right to work. How’s your schedule for 2013? Please consider setting aside your spare time now for the great events this organization has to offer. From Washington – Oregon and Idaho we still have some awesome public lands open and some great events are in the planning occurring due to the PNW memberships making it happen. Washington’s Jamboree and Oregon’s Creek n Trail and Idaho’s Cabin Fever are just three fun events that help support the cause and also provide wonderful opportunities for friendships to be made or strengthened. These 18 Continued on page 17 Continued on page DECEMBER 201218 www.pnw4wda.org Continued from page 17 closure issues we all face. Unity is a key word for all of us. We must combine our efforts with other associations’ efforts and other recreationalists for a future of use in our public lands. I don’t mean we must join them or water down our messages and efforts. I mean we must stay informed and armed with pen and pencil or 4 wheel drive and shovels to help when we can with comment and sweat equity. There are all sorts of 4 wheel drive vehicles with all sorts of aspirations on recreation and work. We have to be seen at public meetings and not be afraid to ask for what we want: access to our heritage and traditions of back roads, campfires and our continued use of public lands. How do environmentalists look at the world? I can assure you it is without you or your kind on public lands. How do we look to the world? It is the right of Americans to use public lands for work or recreating in a motorized vehicle. The PNW needs people to stand up and demand their rights like a soaring Eagle not like a cur Coyote slinking around, just out of sight. Americas need to see and hear you like an eagle in the clear sky. Slinking around in the shadows will never achieve Class II trails for you today or the future to use. Come out into the bright sunshine and plan your runs and events with lots of fanfare and horn honking. The world needs to see you on trails and in play areas not in the dark of night abusing our hard fought trails and play areas. Winters in the Northwest are very unpredictable and can change very quickly. Are you going out into the public lands with your tires and your tanks filled? Are your motors purring, checked and ready for a day on public lands? Take your sport seriously enough to be ready for whatever nature has for you planned or unplanned. Tires with tread on them that will go the mile you ask them to without digging holes or leaving you stranded with flat tires. Do you go out with friends so you aren’t a statistic or a Search and Rescue nightmare? Are you dressed for the occasion; don’t think you’ll get by with sneakers in a snow storm or flip flops changing tires and winching stuck friends. I am pretty proud of our record as far as accidents while wheeling go. Safety is a big issue to me and should be to you. How’s your fire extinguisher? Do you have the basic tools you need for you or your friends breakdown? I know you all know all this and more but please take the ‘New Year’ as a opportunity to tune up your safety and relaxation habits. Let’s all have more of both in 2013. It is winter and time for snow wheeling. Come join us or another PNW club for lots of clean fun. Snowmobile’s trails are off limits and don’t forget they enjoy snow as much as we do but prefer it without Class II tracks. Sharing is good and we need them as motorized friends using public lands.
