Hi All, this is why I have to manually check who is trying to join the forums, the automatic approvals just don't work. At least 11 people (fake and/or scammers and spammers) have tried to join the forums in the last week from all over including Russia, China, other countries in Europe and Asia, etc.

Of course I'll be there. Dave, let's talk....I'll probably bring Brats and fixin's instead of hot dogs.

Welcome bRad ! I'll be getting my KTM950 back on the road soon, we'll have to go do a ride.

That's great of you to offer SDAR a discount ! Thanks Padu.

Write some comments and submit them to try to prevent this... Wildcat Energy Farms is proposing to place a solar facility right next to the northeast side of Ocotillo Wells. The project would start by the park along Highway S22 and go east. A larger portion would be east of Highway 86. The proposal intends to place 1,964,000 panels over 5,900 acres. For the project to begin, Imperial County Supervisors would need to approve of a zoning change. There is a comment period open for the project and you can let the Imperial County Planning Department know how you feel about it. Important arguments against the project are about visual resources and zoning. Many people don't want the visual character of the area to change. The area in question is also not zoned for this kind of development. We do not have strong feelings about the project being east of Highway 86, but don't want any solar on the west side of Highway 86. You can read about the project here. You can send comments to davidblack@co.imperial.ca.us and planning@co.imperial.ca.us. The comment period ends December 23! You can ask the county and project proponents to respect the current zoning and visual character of the desert west of Highway 86. Thank you, Ed Stovin, President San Diego Off Road Coalition

Annie always had a ---- eatin' grin on his face ! Yeah, he pops up on my FB memories too...I miss ridin' the big bikes with him..man, he hauled ass.

Good luck with your surgery Dave.

'Twas a good day for doing trail maintenance and trash clean-up out at Corral Canyon today. It was a good turnout, at least 30 to 40 people, the vehicles were all 4x4's, except for 2 motorcycle guys...just Ed Stovin (president of San Diego Off-Road Coalition) and I, a poor turnout from the motorcycling community. Ed and I worked trimming brush on Greenhorn trail, he started at one end and I from the other end. Doc had fun too, and at one point he jumped up while laying on the trail and started barking a lot...he heard or smelled an animal close by. He'll always alert me if some animal gets close, I love that. Afterwards, free hot dogs, chips, sodas, cookies and a raffle. I won a little goody bag from Bilstein and also a free entry to the 62nd Annual Terra Del Sol Desert Safari and Expo. I've never gone to a 4x4 event, maybe I'll go this time. Tierra Del Sol 4 Wheel Drive Club donated $5000 to the Tread Lightly organization, awesome ! People also brought toys to donate for Toys for Tots.

Anyone else plan on showing up ? I will be there with our mascot Doc Holliday.

Thanks for sharing.

Of course it wouldn't be a summer ride. Sometime in Spring.

Thanks Dave.

San Diego Adventure Riders adopted 2 motorcycle trails at the Corral Canyon OHV Area many years ago. Please come join us on December 14th to help trim brush from overgrown trails, pick up litter, etc. It would be great if we could get at least 10 people to show up to help.Volunteering really helps out the forest service...the more volunteer hours they have on record, the more funds they are allotted for future upgrades. See more details in the event photo...there will be lunch and raffle included.This event is put on by San Diego Off Road Coalition in conjunction with other groups, and will also benefit Toys for Tots.
