Molina participant killed on way home
Mel Dunham killed on his way home from Molina Ghost Run
I am deeply saddened to report that my friend and fellow Cal4wheeler, Mel Dunham did not make it home from the Molina Ghost Run. His Jeep blew out a tire on I-5 on his way home, sending it into a roll. Mel did not survive.
He had called his wife Sunday morning to let her know he was on his way home, and that he had great time at the Molina Ghost Run. He was already planning to go back next year.
The photo I posted on the Central District's Facebook wall of Steve Egbert spotting the Jeep over the rock pile is Mel in his YJ (Facebook photo). I am sorry to dampen the mood, I just wanted you to know that he had a great last weekend, and truly enjoyed the event.
Our sincere condolences go out to Mel's family, friends and fellow four-wheelers on this tragic loss.

Go to the Action Center RIGHT NOW for information on a critical vote on taking $21 million from our OHV fund and giving it to State Parks.

UPDATE: The committee will reconvene on May 23 to consider the funding proposals to solve State Parks' budget deficit. Please continue to use our Action Center to call the senators on the State Resources, Environmental Protection, Energy and Transportation committee to let them know how important the OHV Trust Fund is to you and your family.
Senator Simitian, the committee chair, did mention that he and his fellow senators on the committee had received calls from OHV enthusiasts, so they are listening. Thank you to all who have already made their calls.

Volunteers needed for Pismo Car Show
Show is Father's Day weekend, June 15-17, 2012
The organizers of the Pismo Car Show have offered CA4WDC an excellent opportunity to display and sell tickets for the sweepstakes vehicle and sweepstakes trailer in a free booth. In addition, the promoters will be making a substantial donation to the association. Over 175,000 people attend the show, and we need your help to make it happen.
In exchange, we need to provide volunteers to man the barricades at the event from Thursday (June 14, 2012) through Sunday (June 17, 2012). Volunteers will be given a free T-shirt, and you'll be front and center to all of the action at the show.
