activities for racers and nonracers. This year we are going
to try to bring that back.
**Please no shorts / short pants due to safety concerns**
Directions: Exit 68 off I-5. Head east from freeway, left on Kiser Road, right on Larmon

PNW4WDA COMP COMMITTEE c/o Kristin Smith 7509 S 5th St Ste 101 PMB#B203 Ridgefield, WA 98642
Let’s start with the theme on the
back of the shirts. 8 Regions.
2647 Members. 92 Clubs. One
Summer Convention. As one
the 2647 members reading this,
I want you to realize that this is
your event. We are adding a
technical course this year. We
are adding fun events.
We
are having a contest for best
decorated camp. The attempt
this year is for the trail rigs to
join us. If you come out to
camp and run the technical
course, it’s only going to cost
you fifty dollars – for three days
of fun and entertainment. The
racing will be top notch. The
improvements to the infield
allows us more visibility for
spectators. For an additional
forty dollars, you can race the
drags, barrels, obstacle, and
cross country courses as well. If
we get enough trail rigs, we can
run a street and trail only team
relay.
This
is
YOUR
Summer
Convention. Do you have an
idea of something to add to the
event? Please contact me or any
of the region comp chairmen. If
you haven’t been to Summer
Convention for a while, or have
never been, this is the year to
give it a try. Hope to see you
all on August 14 – 16. Actually
– hope to see you all at as many
playdays as you can make.
Respectfully submitted,
Steve Zentner
PNW comp chairman

Volunteers Get it Done
Naches Trail in the Little Naches Drainage – Region 4 PNW4WD:
A massive trail restoration project was undertaken in partnership with the US Forest Service Naches Ranger District, volunteers from motorized groups
throughout the state, and equipment manufacturers. The project was organized and coordinated through the Naches Ranger District Trails Program and several
involved volunteers.
The project entailed rebuilding two puncheons (basically, bridges over boggy areas), a 120-footer and a 20-footer, and to shore up a rotting 40-foot bridge over the
South Fork of Little Naches River. The 120 footer required the removal of the old decking and structural material which was replaced with new. The new material
could not be delivered to the site because the delivery trucks were too large for the trail. This material was broken down and either skidded or hauled in smaller
trailers behind jeeps provided by participating volunteers The 20 footer was a new installation of a crossing over an area that had begun to erode from both water
and trail use. Several temporary repairs had been done to keep the trail passable but the need for a permanent fix was required. Both the 120 and20 foot long
puncheons should provide many years of use and eliminate several erosion and environmental issues. The 40 foot bridge over the South Fork of the Little Naches
was a project to maintain the bridge in serviceable condition until it can be replaced, hopefully in the next several years. It entailed rebuilding both approaches
and jacking up one end. Mike Vanamburg, Earl Nettnin and Marvin Foster were the individual project managers with Ron Rutherford serving as the Incident
Commander These volunteers really deserve a great deal of thanks for taking on the responsibility, spending the time, and seeing it through to the end. Good
Job. Funding for this project was provided from a $10,000 grant from Polaris and $3,000 from B.F. Goodrich. Thank you!

At the end of the day this multi-faceted project yielded new life into a popular well used trail protecting an area that would have potentially been threatened with
closure. It demonstrated again that motorized users can make a useful contribution to their sport and protect the environment. Kelly Lawrence District Ranger for
the Naches Ranger District must receive a good portion of the credit for allowing her people to pursue the project, apply for the necessary grants and funding and
have them participate with the volunteers to see the project through to completion. Jeff Leisy, Naches Ranger District Trails Coordinator is another person that
needs recognition. He was the Ranger Districts contact person, he worked all three days with the volunteers and really was the driving force behind the project.
For those of you that were there his homemade ice cream was a hit at the Saturday night campfire. Ron Rutherford and Mike Vanamburg spent untold hours
helping with the planning process and making sure things went well.

Motorized users, volunteers, turned out in force for the large and demanding trail overhaul. The weekend after Memorial Day was chosen because of the early
snow melt and the potential for fire danger later in the year. The planning process opened the Little Naches Snow Park for volunteers to camp and bring their
families if they wished. A lot of folks moved in Thursday to get settled in and get ready for the tasks ahead. The centralized camping provided a place to get
together away from the job site and enjoy the outdoors and others with similar interests. There were a number of stories and a lot of history passed on by the
veterans of previous projects. There was the typical horse trading and inspection of each other’s vehicles and so on. Beyond doing a worthwhile project there was
a good time had by all.
At least 10 different motorized trail-riding groups from throughout the state participated. Members from the Jeeping Nomads, Shindig Wheelers, Gleed Boyz,

High Country Cruisers, Desert Rats, Roamin Chariots, Eastern WA Adventures, Lake Tapps Turtles, The Hombres, The Yakima Ski Benders were there for the
weekend effort. Twenty five of them were already working by Friday delivering the materials to the three worksites. This material consisted of large long timbers,
decking and rub rail material, and precast concrete footings to support the timbers. There were 45 volunteers there on Saturday doing the heavy demolition and
construction. It is estimated 250 – 300 ten inch spikes were driven through the decking planks into the timbers to hold them in place. 30 volunteers participated
on Sunday finishing the construction and doing the cleanup work. These were long days, not your typical government job, everyone worked hard. Jeff Leisy, Trails
Coordinator for the Naches Ranger District said. In all, the volunteers put in 760 hours over the three days. This is a huge amount of labor that made this labor
intensive project possible. These volunteer hours will be used to fulfill the required matching funds for one or more of the funding grants used on this project. Ron
Rutherford, one of the project coordinators and Incident Commander said people were asking when and where the next project would happen. wow — sore backs,
tired hands, and these people are ready to get out there and go again. Rest assured with the success of this project there will be others.
Thank you to everyone that helped with this project. It is making a difference.
Remember tread lightly our use of the trails is a privilege not a right.

To: Forest Recreation Trails Committee Members and Guests
From: Hood River County Forestry Department
Date: July 14, 2015
Subject: May 13, 2015 Trail Committee Meeting Minutes
- The Hood River County Forest Recreation Trail Committee held a meeting on Wednesday May 13, 2015 at the Oregon State University Extension
Service Center Conference Room, 2990 Experiment Station Drive in Hood River. Forestry Department staff, Committee members, and Oregon Parks
and Recreation Department staff in attendance were; Henry Buckalew, Ian Caldwell, Judy Charbonneau, Ruth Chausse, Chris Elsmore, Bob Farro,
Kevin Hinkle, Pat Hunter, Temira Lital, Pat Monaghan, Heather Pola, and Doug Thiesies.
- Ruth Chausse made a motion to approve the regular Trail Committee meeting minutes of October 8, 2014 and February 25, 2015. Pat Monaghan
seconded the motion with none opposed.
Forestry Tree Farm Update:
a. Planting Season – On May 5th Forestry completed its annual tree planting project. 282,000 tree seedlings were planted. The County’s Tree
Farm experienced a drought last fall which resulted in poor root growth.
b.
Timber Sale Activities
• Erica Timber Sale on the north side of Kingsley Road should be complete in a week. Portions of 191L trail will have to be reconstructed.
•
Fescue Timber Sale on Binns Hill Road was just completed.
•
Daffodil Timber Sale lies to the south of Kingsley Reservoir and has just started. It will take a few months to complete and will affect 180,
193L, and 195L trails.
c.
Forestry just completed its spring herbicide application project. This project reduces competition by non-preferred species and allows better tree
seedling survival.
d.
Doug fir bark beetles are still being found in scattered patches of timber. Forestry will administer salvage timber sales as a result.
Sheriff’s Department recreation trail patrol update:
a.
Just got approval for a two year grant that will allow the hiring of two additional part time Deputy’s for OHV trail patrols.
b.
Seven day trail patrol coverage will begin Memorial Day weekend. Sheriff’s Department will maintain a presence at Kingsley Reservoir for 72
hours straight.
c.
Still seeing runners, bicyclers, motorized users, and fisherman on the dam. The dam is a NO TRESSPASSING area.
d.
Please call the Sheriff’s Department non-emergency phone number is you see motorcycles on non-motorized trails. Also feel free to call Jesse
Flem at (541) 806-4655.
Family Man vault toilet donation update:
a.
Funding for toilet maintenance will be approximately $3,000.00 behind by the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2015). No donations have been
received since October 2014.
b.
The possibly of holding a fund raiser for the toilet was discussed. It costs $45.00 to have the toilet cleaned once week and $360.00 to pump out
the 1000 gallon vault. Map funds are being used as an emergency measure to support the toilet as needed and are slowly being exhausted.
c.
Ideas –
•
Post information on Facebook.
•
Committee members could reach out to businesses.
•
Advertise that donations are tax deductible.
•
Charge events a maintenance fee.
•
Attach a donation box to the toilet or to the kiosk. Chris Ellsmore volunteered Scott Pader to construct the donation boxes. Henry will get the specs/
sizes to Chris.
•
Put donation boxes in the bicycle shops.
•
Get volunteers to perform the weekly cleanings. Keep cleaning supplies in a lock box at the toilet. This is a common practice at other areas in the
State.
•
Create a fund and then pay the County’s OHV staff through that fund to clean the toilet rather than hiring an outside vendor. Doug and Henry will
see how much it would cost.
•
Close the toilet for several months each year during the winter.
- Non-motorized Trail Map:
Adventure Maps has contacted the Forestry Department to propose that they print and sell the County’s non-motorized trail map.
•
Forestry is checking with the County’s legal services department.
•
Currently a portion of map sales goes to trail maintenance and a portion towards the printing of future maps.
•
Adventure Maps has not proposed how the funds would be split.
•
Currently wholesale is $3.95 and retail is $6.95.
•
No details have been worked out at this time and the County has not said yes to the proposal.
Electric Bicycles:
Electric bicycles are being sold locally and ridden on HRC non-motorized trails. Forestry is considering a policy of restricting electric (motorized)
bicycles to motorized trails.
•
IMBA’s position is electric bicycles should be restricted to motorized trails only but they are conducting more research.
•
Idea that if it can cause a rut by spinning the tire then it should be restricted to motorized trails only.
•
What cc/watt is OK if any?
16
AUGUST 2015
www.pnw4wda.org
•
•
There was a discussion that asked if it was an ethical dilemma.
Sheriff Deputy stated that operators of electric bicycles need a license since it is powered.
Dirt Surfer:
Bob Farro was concerned about a couple of short, stumpy, doubles features on lower Dirt Surfer. He would like to see them made bigger so they would work better
for motorcycles. He will contact Douglas Johnson (the trail adopter) and give feedback about the features.
Lower Viento Ridge Gate on the 1000 Road:
This discussion was continued from the previous meeting. Should Forestry consider moving the seasonally closed gate for safety of 4x4 users?
•
The situation is most dangerous during winter when someone has a breakdown and could be trapped behind the locked gate.
•
It would cost $4000.00 - $5000.00 to install a new gate and approximately $1500.00 to move it.
•
Proposal to leave the gate open during winter but that would increase the potential for additional road and forest damage during winter.
•
Proposal to create a bypass route around the gate with a difficult filter to keep average vehicles out.
•
Kevin Hinkle and Forestry will schedule a walk thru to look at options.
Grants Update:
a.
Recreation Trails Program (RTP) Grant RT 12-004
• Two kiosk frames were installed at Family Man Staging Area in early March. Construction of kiosk roofs and installation of Lexan sheets should take place soon.
• Forestry is working with OPRD to determine if a second grant extension can be provided so the additional Family Man Staging Area development work can be
completed.
b. All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Grant ATV 13-14
• Forestry hired Nick Burks in late March as the County’s new Seasonal Tree Farm OHV Specialist. The position is 40 hours per week for 5 months each year,
generally mid-March through mid-August. Northwest Area trail improvements are underway.
• The County has advertised for a second Seasonal Tree Farm OHV Specialist. Applications were due by 4:00pm May 13, 2015. This position will cover the last half
of the OHV season each year.
• Kingsley Reservoir Campsite Well water samples were taken to City of The Dalles Water Quality Lab the third week of March. Samples were good. Water samples
are required to be sent to the lab quarterly. The handle for the hand pump has been reinstalled onto the well for summer season.
• Two seasonal portable toilets are now being rented and are in place at Kingsley Reservoir Camping/Staging Area.
c.
2015-2017 ATV Grant Status
• The County’s Operations and Maintenance ATV grant application for fiscal years 2015-2017 has received tentative approval from OPRD.
-
Pending Projects Updates:
a. Projects Proposed by Others
• Kleeway Phase 1 (Ben Ketler - bicycle) – new construction. A few field walk thrus have taken place since the previous meeting. Phase 1 of the project will be opened
soon. A couple of borrow pits still need to be filled in. Ben has more than 700 volunteer hours for work performed on the project. Doug Thiesies stated that Ben has
done a good job working with the Forestry Department. A sign-off is needed from State Parks before phase 1 can be opened to the public.
• Mobius Strip (Douglas Van Zandt - bicycle) – reconstruction. Changes to lower Mobius as a result of Kleeway construction are now complete. Mobius Strip has
been opened.
•
Spaghetti Factory thru Shaggy Mane Timber Sale (Douglas Van Zandt - bicycle) - reconstruction.
•
Eldorado (Douglas Van Zandt - bicycle) – new construction.
• Phelps Creek Equestrian Trail (Barbara Hicks - equestrian) – new construction. Construction of a bridge over Phelps Creek is in progress. A dead tree (snag) is
hanging over the bridge and needs to be cut down. Most of the hand rails have been installed. The decking is in place. This will be the largest recreation trail bridge
in the County. Forestry felled and donated a Doug fir tree to the project. The tree was used for the bridge stringers. Barbara will hold a work party soon to complete
the project.
• Extended Play 3rd Line (Gary Paasch - bicycle) – new construction.
• FMX/Egg Hunt Connector (Douglas Johnson - bicycle) – new construction and reconstruction. After salvage logging.
• Complete 197 and 1070 Road Features (Kevin Hinkle - 4x4) – new construction.
• Neal Creek Trail (Jim Denton - hiker/equestrian) – new construction.
b.
Forestry Department Projects Prioritized in Order
• Last Half of the 130 Connector (ATV) – new construction. A section of trail to the creek crossing has been flagged. Work within the Dahlia Timber Sale boundary
should begin soon.
• Pinemont Loop Connector (motorcycle) – new construction, existing reconstruction.
• West Kingsley Reservoir Connector Dam Bypass (ATV) – new construction.
• South Kingsley Reservoir Loop (ATV) – new construction.
• 170 Extension to Kingsley Woods (motorcycle) – new construction.
Events:
• Event sponsors have been in contact with Forestry to secure dates for 2015.
• Concern was voiced about motorized events being run during times of year when trails are most vulnerable to damage. It was mentioned that Lobos MC who holds
a couple of motorized poker runs on the trails each year, regularly participates in work parties to help maintain the trail system.
•
There was discussion of moving the Oregon Enduro date to late summer or fall when trails were already in poor shape. The purpose would be to avoid damaging
trails early in the year when trail building season had already ended. It would allow trails to be repaired soon after the event was over since the fall repair season
would be starting.
•
Judy Charbonneau made a motion and Pat Monaghan seconded the motion that Forestry look into increasing fees for events since the current application fee is
only $75. The motion failed. Below are the discussion points that followed.
o Incorporate some way to assess damage and hold organizers accountable.
o Designate a portion of the fee to go to non-moto recreation trails.
o Add-in an administrative fee.
o Require organizers to post a bond.
o Doug Thiesies would like to see a proposal by Fall 2015.
o Board of Commissioners would have to approve any fee schedule changes.
o Discussion to “look into increasing” or to “increase fees”.
•
Chris Ellsmore made a motion that Forestry create a proposal for the Board of Commissioners to increase fees for events on recreation trails. Forrest seconded
the motion. None were opposed.
•
•
Work Parties:
A Kleeway work party with the Travel Oregon crew was held on March 20, 2015.
A work party to reroute a section of Trail 140 (motorcycle designated) below FMX was held on Saturday April 4, 2015.
- Next Meeting:
The next Trail Committee meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday July 22, 2015 at 5:00pm and will be held in the Oregon State University Extension Service
Center Conference Room. The Conference Center is located at 2990 Experiment Station Drive (the road next to Your Rental and Party Center) in Hood River.
Attention: The July 22, 2015 date for the next meeting had to be changed. The meeting has been re-scheduled to take place on Tuesday August 4, 2015 at 5:
00pm and will be held in the Oregon State University Extension Service Center Conference Room.

Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Issues Fire Use Restrictions
Effective on July 3
The Pacific Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association Presents:
The Annual Fall Delegates Meeting
and Fun Run
Saturday September 12th 9:00am
Washougal, Washington
Do you like to go 4 wheeling?
Do you care about our sport?
Do you want to get involved?
Do you want to see what is going on in other OHV areas in the northwest?
Beginning Friday, July 3, the Gifford
Pinchot National Forest is restricting
open campfires throughout the forest
except in metal fire pits or rings in
developed recreation sites. A list
of approved campgrounds where
campfires will be allowed can be
found on the Gifford Pinchot National
Forest web site at:
www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_
DOCUMENTS/stelprd3844001.pdf
"Campfire restrictions are put into
place when the risk for potential
wildfires increases due to higher
temperatures, lower humidity levels
and dry vegetation," said Deb Roy,
Fire Management Staff Officer for
the Gifford Pinchot and Mount Hood
National Forests.
Under this campfire restriction, wood
and charcoal fires are only allowed
in developed campgrounds, picnic
areas and group campgrounds
that have established metal fire
pits or rings. Building and tending
open campfires, including charcoal
briquettes,
cooking
fires
and
warming fires are prohibited until
further notice. Permissible sources
for cooking also include portable
stoves or lanterns using gas, jellied
petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel.
Smoking is allowed within enclosed
vehicles, buildings and developed
recreation sites. Violators can be
fined up to $5,000 and/ or imprisoned
up to six months in jail.
"Even where campfires are
permitted, the fire and any source of
flame should be totally extinguished
and cool to the touch before leaving
the campsite and never leave a
fire unattended," said Roy. "Use
the metal campfire rings in the
campgrounds, clear vegetation away
from any flame sources, and keep
a shovel and bucket of water close
by."
The Forest Service, other federal and
state agencies and local residents all
work together to effectively prepare
for and reduce wildfire risks. Forest
visitors can help by being watchful
when in the woods, reporting
suspicious smokes, and putting out
any abandoned campfires.
Industrial Fire Precaution Level
(IFPL) 2 also remains in effect on
the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Restrictions on firewood cutting,
timber operations, and other industrial
operations performed on national
forest system land will be required
to follow IFPL 2 requirements.
Included in these requirements are a
prohibition on chainsaw use between
1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and the
4-Wheelin’ News
If you answered yes to any of these, then this is the place to be.
The meeting starts at 9:00am and will end around 3:30pm. It is open to any and all individuals and member
clubs that are interested in our sport.
Lunch will be provided on site for $5.00 per person (please RSVP)
After the meeting join us for a Fun Run to the newest class 2 trails in Washington!!! Pistons Wild will be leading everyone on a run to the Yacolt Burn trails. They are only 20 minutes from where the meeting will be held.
A discover pass is required.
After the Fun Run, please join us for a BBQ dinner provided by Region 3, free of charge. (Please RSVP so we
can make sure there will be enough for everyone)
Come to the meeting and get involved, go 4 wheeling with others that are passionate about our sport, and have
dinner while watching the sunset over Vancouver and Portland!!

Meeting location is at the East County

As of today (6-26-15) Oregon
Department of Forestry has raised the
Industrial Fire Precaution Level to 3.
This invalidated the Waiver that was
keeping Northwest Area OHV trails
open to motorized use. Motorized
trail use on all Hood River County
trails is now prohibited until we see
significant rains.
The Hood River County Forest
Recreation Trail Committee meeting
that was scheduled for Wednesday
July 22nd, 2015 has been rescheduled
due to a meeting room conflict. It has
been changed to Tuesday August 4th,
2015 and will be held in the Oregon
State University Extension Service
Center Conference Room. The OSU
Extension Service Office Building is
located at 2990 Experiment Station
Drive (the road next to Your Rental
and Party Center) in Hood River.
The meeting will be from 5:00pm to
approximately 7:00pm.
Be aware that a heat wave is predicted
for this weekend and into next
week. Dry lightning is also predicted for
the weekend. Use caution if recreating
on Hood River County’s Tree Farm
during these periods of extremely hot
and dry conditions.

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.
