We are a family oriented club, organized in 1965, to promote and enjoy the recreation of four wheeling. Four wheeling involves driving a four wheel drive vehicle on roads and trails which are impassable to normal street vehicles. It's often referred to as "off-roading," but in most cases we use marked "roads" in order to protect the areas through which we travel. occasionally we play "off-road" on designated sand dunes or ice where it is a bit tough to "stay on the trail" since there is none. Unlike the images portrayed by mass media and environmental groups, we are concerned with conserving the natural beauty of the State of Colorado and anywhere we four wheel. We also participate in both the Adopt-a-Trail and the Adopt-A-Highway programs. We work closely with the US Forest Service in maintaining local 4x4 roads. We assist our community, Fort Collins, Colorado, by providing transportation during severe winter weather for employees and some patients of "critical need" groups like Poudre Valley Hospital, Good Samaritan Retirement Village and Meals-On-Wheels and by assisting groups like the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army in transporting supplies and the like to and from remote areas during crises.

To clarify the Bald Mountain gate. There are existing gates at the red and blue locations. In the past they would close those gates closing the entire route. We installed a gate at the green location so the gate at the red location will remain open leaving that section, from red to green, open all winter.

Last fall we found out that the 4.2 miles west of the Manhattan Road on Bald Mountain is supposed to remain open all winter. The FS said it could only be open if there was a gate at the 4.2 mile mark. We checked last winter, no gate. So today we installed a gate. This should be a great snow bashing route for everyone to enjoy.

Huge thanks to all the members that volunteered today. Also thanks to Rugged Ridge for the grant that paid for the concrete.

Stump Hill, spur off Sevenmile Creek, has been closed since the Cameron Peak fire. Today we cleared tress from the route in anticipation of it being open this winter, finally. I don’t think anyone will get very far though. At some point it will need to be rebuilt or rerouted.

A grant from Rugged Ridge RealTruck allowed us to purchase two chainsaw kits to use on this project.
