Thunder Mountain Wheelers We are a diverse group of individuals, families and businesses who enjoy motorized access to the great outdoors. We do NOT abuse these lands.

We support the concept of preserving our National Forests and BLM lands through a balanced multiple use approach. The Thunder Mountain Wheelers ATV Club and all its members promote and enjoy a reputation as being responsible users of public and private lands. Our mission is to promote, foster and provide an attitude of public service, volunteerism, safe riding practices, rational and environmentally responsible techniques of riding off highway vehicles. We ride ATV's and Snowmobiles for fun as our way to enjoy the public land. Our policy is to take care of them so our children and grand children will be able to see them in any matter they choose. We actively oppose any restrictions of access on our public lands when restrictions are implemented without compelling evidence and logical reasons. USING NOT ABUSING OUR PUBLIC LANDS

*Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests Rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions*

(Delta, CO, Sept. 02, 2026) — All lands managed by the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests will rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions beginning September 3 at 12:01 a.m., restoring conditions to unrestricted fire use.

Recent precipitation and improved fuel moisture levels across the forest have reduced overall fire danger, allowing fire managers to lift restrictions. While conditions have improved, fire personnel emphasize that wildfire risk is never fully eliminated.

“This has been a busy fire season. Thank you to all our visitors and local communities for respecting the restrictions during these months of elevated fire danger,” said Chad Stewart, GMUG National Forests’ Forest Supervisor. “As we rescind Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, we encourage everyone to remain attentive when recreating. Responsible fire practices protect both people and the landscape we all value.”

With restrictions lifted, campfires are once again allowed outside developed campgrounds and recreation sites. However, neighboring federal, state and local jurisdictions may still have restrictions in place. Visitors should verify current rules for the specific area they plan to visit before engaging in any activities involving fire or other ignition sources.

Fire managers remind forest visitors to continue practicing safe fire habits, especially in areas with dry vegetation or heavy dead and downed trees. Wildfire prevention practices include:
• Never leaving a campfire unattended.
• Using designated fire rings or established fire sites whenever possible.
• Clearing flammable materials around campfire areas.
• Fully extinguishing campfires using the “drown‑stir-drown‑feel” method until cool to the touch.

Even accidental ignitions can result in civil or criminal penalties. Learn more about campfire safety at www.smokeybear.com.

Today we pause to honor three wildland firefighters who gave their lives protecting our communities and public lands. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten.
From everyone at RUFF Around The Edges, we extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, and fellow firefighters, and we pray for the recovery of those who were injured.
Thank you to every firefighter and first responder standing on the front lines. We are forever grateful. 🇺🇸❤️

Delta Heritage Days
Thunder Mountain Wheelers participated at Delta Outdoor Heritage Days event on June 6th. This event is geared towards families and outdoor living with a focus on kid's participation.
We had a balloon pop board where they could throw a dart, pop a balloon and get a candy bar. We used about 50 balloons and gave away all but a handful of the candy we had.
A big thank you to Kris Valentino, Sharon Lee and Kim Kokesh.
It was a very warm day but we still had a good time with a steady stream of kids all morning.

Good day. Thanks ladies for the food and drinks
