Dear District 36 Members,
As fire season is upon us, I want to remind you that you absolutely MUST have a clean, working SPARK ARRESTOR on your motorcycle when you ride on public lands. This year is shaping up to be a very bad fire season, and we as the OHV community must be conscious of this danger as we ride on public lands.
The devastation of our natural resources, including those on the USFS and BLM areas where we ride and recreate, by a fire of this magnitude is shown at the link below (the Rim Fire was NOT started by an OHV user). Please take a minute to view this, and then share with as many of your friends that ride you can.
For those of you that have been to the Stanislaus NF know what I am saying here, let along the destruction to our favorite trails and riding area. If you see somebody without a spark arrestor, get on their case. That person can possibly ruin the environment where we recreate and take our families.
Thanks for reading this, and viewing this short film. It WILL open your eyes. Upon opening the
Link, read the short paragraph about groups coming together in collaborative manner.
It is forging relationships among those that were enemies at one time. Jerry Fouts, D36 President, was part of the YSS process, along with Mike Demaso from Merced Dirt Riders Motorcycle Club
Special Thanks to Don Amador, BRC & Quiet Warrior Racing, and partner of District 36 and D36 LAO for sending this along after receiving from the RAC (Recreational Advisory Committee).
