Moonlight Madness back on track
After two years of heavy snow fall, it looks like Mother Nature is going to permit Moonlight Madness to take place in its original month of June on the Bald Mountain trail near Shaver Lake, CA. Plan to attend, participate, camp and enjoy your weekend in the mountains, June 22-24.
The Clovis Independent 4-Wheelers, kick off the weekend on Friday night with a feature film geared for the young ones at dusk. Popcorn and coffee available. Saturday morning the Day Run leaves base camp by 10 AM. Our fabulous mountain dinner will be served starting at 4:30 PM. Our famous Night Run will leave base camp at 7 PM and this year we will leave you guessing as to which approach our fearless leader will take you. We bring our weekend to a close on Sunday morning with our awards and bountiful raffle. You won't want to miss any of this fun-filled event.

Wheelin' With Cops celebrates ninth year
This year's event is July 14 in Butte Meadows
For the past nine years, the police department has teamed up with a local four-wheel drive club and taken under privileged children from the boys and girls club on a four wheeling adventure.
We call the event the "wheeling with cops adventure."
The way the event works is the four-wheel drive club, Nor Cal Crawlers, donates their four wheel drive vehicles to police officers. The police officers then take the children on a four-wheel drive trip. Once the children return, they are treated to a free lunch and then we have several demonstrations for the children to watch. We have a helicopter from Cal Fire land and put on a demonstration, police K9 and police horse demonstrations along with our SWAT team, search and rescue and more. The kids leave the event with a backpack full of school supplies.
The purpose of the event is to take the kids out of the city (many have never seen tall trees) and show police officers in a positive setting for the children. Many of these kids have parents who have not set a good example for them.
We have the support from many groups including the surrounding police and fire services, Rotary club, Kiwanis club and more. The event is completely supported by donations.
The event takes place in Butte Meadows, which is in the Lassen National Forest, about 40 miles east of Chico.
