This is from the work to keep the Rubicon trail open for everyone. @Del Albright can provide even more info on this. Friends of the Rubicon was formed to save the Rubicon when the county wanted to install a gate. Potentially having the ability to close the trail on a whim if they wanted...

With permission I would send these to the Sharetrails magazine to be published and even shared on the Sharetrails socials. Todd

https://sharetrails.org/alert/colorado-gmug-extends-forest-plan-revision-comment-period/ The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests’ initial scoping period for forest plan revision has been extended by 30 days; comments will now be most helpful if submitted by June 2...

Thanks for asking people to be involved. I grew up in Michigan, and use to go to the Upper Peninsula every year for camping trips. Still have family back there. Comments are important to keep OUR access. Todd

Great info in this thread and article. For me, it depends on what I am planning on doing. I have run everything from 15 PSI on just dirt road trails, to as low as 4 PSI in the snow. I have 35" BFG KM2's running on Raceline Monster beadlocks. Even before getting the beadlocks, I would go pretty...

Those look like the Stauns or Smittybilts that are available. My Stauns are all about the same number of turns to get the same pressure setting. Could be something wrong with the internal springs. Pull the tops off, and check the springs to see if they look the same. They could have put the...

For an area that is repeatedly trashed, look at getting a grant to help pay for the dumpster and cleanup activities. I went on a tour of an area with the BLM once, and they had such an issue with the local poor community dumping trash on the BLM land, that it was cheaper to just pay for a large...

https://sharetrails.org/alert/michigan-dnr-encourages-public-input-on-orv-rules-for-upper-peninsula-state-forest-roads/ Starting Tuesday, May 1, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources invites the public to share their opinions on a forest road inventory of the Upper Peninsula and the...

As you well know, some people will not join a specific club or organization because of what someone said or did. In a couple of instances, I know things like that was all put aside and groups and individuals worked together to save a couple of trails. The most iconic trail to be saved, is the...

Prior to leaving California, I talked to a group that has been installing repeaters on either side of the Central Valley. This area runs from South down near Bakersfield to above Sacramento. On one side, they install on the Sierra Mountains, and I am not sure what the range is on the West side...

After 26 years in the Navy, I have thick skin, and did not take his post in a negative way. For those of us that have been on forums for a while, we like or hope that people will use the search function. I have moderated on enough of them, that I really should have known better. You are...

The office will get the stuff boxed up and sent either today or Monday. If you have ideas on how it can be made to be better once you see it, please let me know. I am always open to constructive criticism on our materials. When I get home, I will post up some of the materials that the...

Message me your address, and I will get the stuff on the way from the office. Appreciate the help on recruiting new members and talking about what we do for access. Todd

Check with the forest service, or Fresno Four Wheel Drive Club or Clovis Independents clubs. The trail usually closes around 1 April until the end of May for the snow melt. Even if the gate is open at the trail head, the trail is still closed. I have also heard that part of Rock Creek Road is...

Thanks for wanting to send in comments. Individual comments are just as or more important that the comments from an organization. Even though BRC represents a few thousand members in California, our comment only counts as one. I will see if I can find what we have sent in, or will send in, and...

This is what I got from our expert on this issue. He has been working this issue since its inception years ago. My initial review favors Alt 4. Right now I have been more into reading the analysis for consistency and any potential problems. Overall, it appears the real issues are going to...

https://sharetrails.org/alert/ohio-wayne-national-forest-officially-begins-forest-plan-revision/ The Wayne National Forest's notice of initiation of the assessment phase of Forest Plan Revision was published in the Federal Register on April 19, 2018. This notice signals the official start of...

David Sounds like a nice rig that you and your wife have. I have been going off-road since I was a little kid with my dad. I remember the days of hardly seeing anyone out there. Now, most of the trails are so crowded, it is hard to find peace and quiet. I think you nailed it on the head...

Slomatt I will get with our folks who are working this issue. At one time, the compromise on this was we were going to loose around half of our trail mileage on the Mojave. Then something happened that changed all that, and they are starting this process over again. This has been going on...

I am not sure I would call it adversarial. They want everything closed, we want everything open. Have to usually find a compromise in there somewhere. We usually do, and they do up front, and then sue to get their way! Seen it way to many times. I have seen the collaborative method...
