Cal4wheel was formed in 1959 by some four-wheelers who were getting tired of their trails being closed. They also wanted to host good quality events for their fellow four-wheelers, and to provide education in safe four-wheeling practices and trail conservation.

Save The Hammers campaign underway
National OHV Lobby Days March 14-15
The most powerful voice comes from you. Join your fellow OHV enthusiasts from across the country, and call for a meeting with your local congressmen to educate him or her on the 29 Palms Marine Base expansions and why we need to save this unique OHV area. Congress will decide the fate of the Hammer. Make sure your voice is heard and help stop the base expansion!
We need your help to Save the Hammers
On April 27, 2012 the US Marine Corps will submit their Final Environmental Impact Study and light the fuse that starts a chain of events to close 160,000 acres of the Johnson Valley OHV area. If this happens, less than 2% of the southern California desert would be open to OHV use! We need your help to ensure the future of the Hammers.

Sierra Club lawsuit over Oceano Dunes is thrown out
Reprinted from the San Luis Obispo Tribune, January 11, 2012
A California appeals court has rejected a request by the Sierra Club to ban dune buggy riding on a county-owned parcel in Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.
Citing late Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who said "wise adjudication has its own time for ripening," a state Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a San Luis Obispo Superior Court decision that it is too late to review a coastal development permit issued in 1982 that allows off-highway vehicles on a 584-acre, county-owned parcel, called the La Grande Tract, within the park.

Direction change for Marines could be good news
The Associated Press published an article about the Post War Marines: smaller, less focused on land war.
I found the article interesting and informative. I have been following General Amos and read some of his past statements regarding his vision for the future of the Marines as that has a direct bearing on an issue that is important to me: expansion of 29 Palms Marine Base and Johnson Valley OHV Area.
