Land Use & State Association – Patti Evans Land Use Sandra Mitchell of IRC met with Undersecretary of Agriculture over Natural Resources, Dr. Homer Wilkes. A number of issues were discussed at that meeting. In Summary he is very supportive of Motorized Recreation. Sandra has extended an invitation to Dr. Wilkes to come to Idaho to see first-hand the issues we face in a state that is 61.65% public lands. Included in that invitation is an outing on the trails with IOR4x4 to experience how we use the trails responsibly. Another strong point was that the Forest Service has been decommissioning roads and that in many cases those roads are destroyed creating more damage than leaving the road as it exists. This decreases the accessibility of two track access roads. Dr. Homer was not aware of this process and will be looking into it. Sandra also met with House Rep Ken Buck, Senator Mike Crapo, Senate Natural Resources Jim Rish, Congressman Mike Simpson, and Representative Russ Fulcher. Idaho State 4×4 Association Snake River Off-roaders host State Ride & Rally Lavapalooza, June 17, 18 & 19 Camping available at Yellowstone Lakeside RV Park – more info at snakeriveroffroaders.org There is a business membership for the State Association that will be further developed to provide businesses an opportunity to show their support for the association. This will increase the size of our voice.
