Land Issues – East Side
– Tom:
RAC meeting – two RACS in area. Umatilla area kind of dragging their feet but will come around. Implantation for trails in by 2009. A couple more years to work. Forest Service will cover OHV only. We will be only looking at trails not all roads. Forest Service will cover 2 ˝ miles per square mile is what they will be looking at. Forest Service has set dates to meet. BLM has no set dates. BLM offers a lot more time. Papers re: overview of Forest Service update.
SAND DUNES: New allocation for fossil area. The meeting was held onsite. The line is right across the sand dune and blocks the large dune. The final plan with line angled across w/ access to large dune. We gave a suggested plan and four alternatives. We are still discussing plan.
Alan: SW Side: Met
with BLM. Given two areas to start
with. BLM pushing for OHV area. Would like to apply for ATV funds for an OHV
area a few miles out of town.
South River Area – South of
Winston in Myrtle area. Had permission
to run an area there. A great area. Verbal contact made with Forest
Service. Level I maintained roads. An OHV area close to Roseburg a great idea.
Medford BLM district: Large western area ran trails there
also. Christmas search for Search &
Rescue. Found great rails in Lane County
area.
Randy: East Side:
21 miles of designated Class
II trails in middle of snowmobile country.
They will posted and signed in July.
Ground Hog week in June. Flyers
will be handed out. Website noted on

it rains. Can we purchase one? 22 applications were sent out to
Washington. We can park the vehicles at
the store this year and they will watch over them for vandalism. Pat will contact the former owners of the
restaurant at the Airport to cook breakfast for us on Saturday morning. All underneath of vehicles will need to be
washed due to root rot. Meal tickets
will be given out on Friday, no more mailings.
The poker run was a big confusion last year. They will sell poker hands on Saturday only. We aren’t sure of security yet. The cook crew will go in first on Saturday

this year for every raffle donation.
