SWFWDA's suit has just taken another, expensive, turn through the courts. We have a good chunk of cash left but at our current burn rate it won't quite make it through the new proceedings so I'd like to ask again for y'alls generous help. Our suit is 100% donation funded, no industry, no grants, no charitable trust funding. It's been through dedicated small businesses like Predator 4x4 in Colorado Springs, clubs like those in Carolina and Minnesota and within SWFWDA, and by individuals who want to help maintain access they may never enjoy themselves.

So, I'm down on old creaky knees asking for help again and saying thanks to those who have helped in the past.

Donations can be sent to:
SWFWDA LUF
c/o Jerry Ward, Treasurer
3553 Appaloosa Dr.
Sunland Park, NM 88063

This suit has significant precedence setting value with respect to RS2477 considerations and land use within WSAs as well as BLM procedures and corruption. That's why it's taken longer, cost more and interested "Earthjustice" and the wilderness society, both of whom are preventing BLM from settling with us as they would prefer. For info on two of the impacted (closed) trails in the area see 4wd and suv magazine about 98ish for articles by Mark WErkmeister on The Wolf's Run and The Guardian

and Thanks for the help
