Land Use & State Association – Patti Evans

IRC:  The next IRC General Membership Meeting is scheduled this Saturday, July 16th @ 501 Baybrook Court from 10 am to 3 pm. RSVP smitchel@alscott.com to attend.

Land Use:

  1. Whiskey Mountain thru private land is now closed over safety concerns and destruction of property.  We do not know if this is permanent or temporary and we will be making inquiries.
  • Hot August Nights and Blazing Lights on August 20th may be re-routed to another trail if we can’t find a way around the closed section of road.
  1. Missing man, Matt Schultz of Pocatello, was located.  Matt died doing what he loved, capturing the beauty of Idaho with his drone.  Matt’s last video he posted is on YouTube of the Cave Draw at Bruneau River, Idaho.

We would like to thank the Owyhee, Meridian, and Malheur police departments, and the countless volunteers who drove and flew for hours in their extraordinary efforts in searching for Matt.

This is a reminder to us as recreationalists that the Owyhees are as deadly as they are breathtaking.  Respect for the weather, the terrain, the wildlife and the vastness of the area is always important. 

This is why we support the emergency services of Owyhee County.

Be Safe, Be Vigilant, Be Smart!

Idaho State 4×4 Association:

  1. Snake River Offroaders hosted State Ride & Rally / Lavapalooza 2022 and raised $3,256.

  3. Next meeting:  August 3rd @ 7 pm via zoom.
