RangerDan 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Howdy everyone! Just joined your group and looking forward to meeting some fellow dual-sporters! I am actually stationed in Ventura County where I work as a Park Ranger, however I live in Vista (San Diego County)...so I am up for rides anywhere in the greater SOCAL region. I also have a background in public land use, trail design, and obtaining grant funding...so I look forward to meeting with your members that handle these issues to see if I can help bring some OHV resources to table. Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to join your group! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 508 Posted June 2, 2009 Dan, Welcome to SDAR ! We try to stay on top of land use issues, and I go to the Cleveland National Forest quarterly meetings when I can. Good to have you aboard, and if you have any suggestions or input as to what we can do as a club, and/or ways for us to get involved in crucial decisions, please let me know.

Well, I actually spend 2-3 weeks at work up north then a week down south...so I only have to fight the 405 once in a while. I finally figured out the "405" stands for "4 or 5 miles per hour" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beezzz 6 Posted June 3, 2009 Welcome Dan! The club loves a road trip. I think it does take 30 riders to do a intensive evaluation of fire fuel areas. Beezzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep me posted as I do want to help out. Any particular internal groups or meetings that discuss our "access issues" that I could attend? Let me know what I can do for "my part".

I'd love to figure out a way to do Ojai to Frazier! Or any back trail way from the Ventura area to Frazier. There has got to be a way I actually spend a lot of time in the Los Padres National Forest. There's a lot of routes for OHV's and even more for Dual Sport bikes. I have gone from Palmdale to Lockwood Valley Road on 90% dirt. I'm sure it's possible to find a "Desert to the Sea" route from Palmdale all the way to Santa Barbara given the number of forest roads in the area. Let's get the maps out!
