Roland and I attended the ASA4WDC meeting this afternoon in Wickenburg. There is really nothing to report on. They talked about topics such as dash plaques, becoming a certified safety instructor for your club, and upcoming events of the different clubs that make up the ASA4WDC.
Land issues... about all they said was we need to get involved and write letters to the Tonto NF people letting them know we are responsible four wheelers and are against closing public lands, which by all accounts that I heard today, is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality. Rather than spend time today and dragging the meeting out, the ASA4WDC Board is planning to hold another meeting in March to discuss only land issues.
Refer to Djui5's POST for information on what to write and where to send it. It can't be stressed enough that we need to get off our rear ends and start writting letters. Not only are the Greenies trying to shut down trails here in Arizona, they are attacking on all fronts... even the 4wd mecca of the United States, Moab, UT.
Vern... they asked about you and if Roland and I had any inputs on your Adopt A Trail program that you head up. Of course we had no inputs as we were not given any information to pass on to them.
So much for the meeting.

After the meeting, Roland and I made a quick run up the Box Canyon of the Hassayampa. It's a short, fun trail through a very sandy river bottom. There was a little water to play in.
After the run we headed back to Phoenix. We met Beth, Roland's wife and daughters for dinner at Matador's Mexican Restaurant in downtown Phoenix. We called the run complete after dinner.
Here's a pic of Roland splashing around....
