The idea that was started here is a reality!! After seeing all the positive responses on the thread this spring, I sent a few e-mails out and got an amazing response! On a suggestion from the BRC, the name has been changed to National OHV Appreciation Day, NOHVAD, to broaden the scope of the event to cover more activities than just cleaning up. After doing some research, the date chosen for this is NPLD, National Public Lands Day, the last Sat. in Sept. each year. The groups that sponsor NPLD are the same one we work with to keep access to the areas we wheel in, Army Corp of Engineers, BLM, DOD, EPA, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Forest Service, National Park Service, and many others. What better day to show how we feel about recreating on public land than NPLD! There's not much planned for this year other than some smaller local events, but look out next year! There's just simply not enough time for promotion and organization for anything major this year. Work has already begun on organizing next years event to make it a huge showing of caring about our land and unity between all user groups. Anyone wanting to can still do something this year, Sept.28th, but, the big push will be for Sept. 27th '03. The list of supporters for this is-

SWFWDA- Terry Rust, James Clark

UFWDA- Carla Boucher, John Stewart

AMA- Carol Smith

BRC- Bill Dart, Del Albright

4x4 Wire.com- John Stewart

Jon Crowley- crowley-offroad.com

SEMA- Brian Caudill

Rockcrawler.com- Shawn Pagan

SHR 4x4 Club

Trail Krawlers 4x4

Off-road.com

Texas Motorized Trail Coalition

Texas Offroad Network

Friends of the Rubicon

Dennis Mitchell

Hopefully there'll be a web-site up soon for this and Carla Boucher is preparing press releases for before & after media submissions. Del Albright has also asked that anyone doing anything to please use the volunteer time forms available at the BRC web-site to record volunteer hours. Hopefully as things progress we get more support for this and anyone wanting to jump in is more than welcome to. The entire OHV community, reguardless of whether it's in a 4x4, mountain bike, mc, atv, horseback, whatever, needs to work together for our sport, and our ability to use public lands to survive.

This is a good friend of mine's post from RC. Please spread the word of this to the local clubs and organize a trail run, take along trash bags and anything else to help clean up the trails, and the environment in general.

The final press release most likely will not contain a list of any commercial web sites, there are other sites supporting this that did not appear on the initial list, it has and can cause some very hard feelings.
