*** BLUERIBBON ALERT ***

There are only four days left before the elections. Off highway recreationists have
a tremendous stake in this election and a definite opportunity to affect the
outcome. But only if we get involved.

Hello all,
Our next Club Meeting scheduled for 6 Nov at 7:30pm will be held at the Hardees, 2615 10th Ave South. There is a playground there if you want to bring the little ones along. We will have the enclosed room in the front for our meeting. Plan on a dinner and meeting combo so no one will have to cook or do dishes. Everyone bring your 4x4 and maybe some people driving on 10th Ave might stop by just to see what all the 4x4s are doing in the parking lot. Email me at cc4x4@hotmail.com for more information.

This is from Mike Georgeson, MTVRA and Rim Rock trail Rider member in Billings.

I spoke with Frank Cifala, Gallatin National Forest Recreational Manager - Big Timber, today and he made some interesting comments.

1) 95% of all comments to date are against motorized recreation in the Gallatin.(need I say more?)

Hello all, want to do a trail ride/maybe a Chilli Run on 3 NOV.
Want to go the back way into Hughesville, if it isn't snowed in by then. If it is, we'll find someplace to go up near there.

Will meet at the Loft (above Big R on 10th) at 8am if you want to eat and 9am to leave. Drop me a line at cc4x4@hotmail.com if you have any questions or plan on joining.

Hello Everyone,

I am requesting assistance for comments in response to the
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Plan. The Midwest 4 Wheel Drive
Association and Wisconsin 4 Wheel Drive Association need your help getting
the word out about this plan, and need everyone to write a letter in
support of maintaining all existing access to public lands and designate
additional trails for four wheel drive use. These comments and letters need
to be sent to the Park Falls Supervisors Office by October 31st, 2002.

THE SOUTHWEST FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOUR HELP!

_TPWinter is quickly approaching and so are the prime four wheeling days.

Things have been fun over here. We've been scouting around for new areas to go. Some of these places have been interesting and fun spots. Last month we found a spot that offered a great trail ride to get to this one area, then it was a heavenly delight! you had a good hill climb, some rough roads, and places to play some 4X4 games. Then, to top it off, there was a big mud hole to play in. For added beauty, there was a creek just beyond the trees that was a back drop for our pot luck lunch. One drawback, it takes about one hour of highway driving to get there.
