'-..___,,, CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF JEEP CLUBS PUBLICITY BULLETIN Main topic of discussion at the recent Bakersfield meeting of ·the California Association of Jeep Clubs was the Area Closure policy of the National Forest Service~ Large areas of Califorhia National Forests have been closed to Jeep travel, resulting in prbtests against such restrictions~ When closute. of 20,000 acres of El Dorado National Forest was con-templated one member of the El Dorado Je~ph~rdets wrote a long letter to Se~ator Clair Engle appealin~ for information and aid. Senator Engle became interested and a large volume of correspondence passed between Senator Engle9s office➔ the National Forest Service and the El Dorado Jeepherders, bringing forth the following· facts~ _ 1. There has been no direct order from Washington regarding closed areas other than PRESERVE .AND PROTECT. -2. The methods and measures required to PRESERVE AND PROTECT are left to the discretion of the Head R·anger in charge of the area) subject to approval of the Regional Forester in San Fran·ciscd, The forest service felt that by arranging to speak at meetings of Jeep Clubs~ Rod and Gun Clubs a~d other interested gro~ps, their plan to PRESERVE AND PROTECT-by closing these large areas could be put into force. Through cooperation of the El Dotado Jeepherders and the Sacramento Jeepsters, the two largest Jeep clubs using the El Dorado National Forest, arranged a meeting with forest service officials in Placerville to discuss "-._../the situation. The meeting was held and a cooperative trip into the area was arranged, and included Forest Service officials, officers and members of the two Jeen Clubs concerned, and officers of the Calif. Assoc . of Jeep Clubs. For the first time-in California, the facts behi:1.d the Forest Service closures were discussed, on the scene , in a c -operati e an constructive manner. The two major objections by the Forst Ser•·ice are: Jeeps cutting through the marshy meadows, destroying grass a n · l ose1.ing top soi_ needed for stock and animal feed and Jeeps cutting up natural or seeded .. illsides with resultant erosion by spring rains and runoff from winter sn~~s. Photographs were taken of sor.i.e of the meadow areas on whicn camage had occurred for reference. This type of co-operation could be of great benefit to all California Jeep owners. The Calif. Assoc. of Jeep Clubs does not feel this destruction is deliberate, but rather the result of Jeep drivers not being aware of the special consideration deserved by meadows and grassy slopes. The officers and delegates of the Calif. Assoc. of Jeep Clubs unani-mously approved a motion to embark on a program of Jeep Clubs education :n co-operation with the National Forest Service. This program is to use any and all means available, posters, news , magazine articles and special Assoc. Bulletins and emblems. The Assoc. f eels that this information is important not only to Jeep owners and Clubs; but to all drivers of vehicles entering into our National Forests. No one, enjoying the outdoor life, would like to be considered as willfully and wantonly contributing to the destruction of this portion of our national heritage. '-.._.,.,,

The Committee Meeting Tables were designated by President r rris and sessions of the various Committees began at approximately 9:00 P.M. At approximately 9:30 P.M. a special meeting of the delegates present was called by President Steve Morris to consider a problem re uiring immediate attention that had arisen because of the small number of embers and guests at the dinner. Because of the larger number present at previous meeting, the Tague Ranch Lodge Management and the Associatio1 Officers had estimated a higher attendance and had prepar ed for a minimum of 75 dinners. After a discussion between the Restaurant Manager and the Association President and Vice President, i t was aereed that the Association would pay for So dinners total, thus leaving 23 dinners to be paid from the Association funds. It was also agreed that these 23 steaks would be served to the members the following morning for breakfast at no cost, on a fir st come basis. The special meeting was called to approve this arrangemento After a short dis-cussion the delegates agreed that t he association had a moral obliga:1.io. and that the arrangement pr oposed was fair to both the association ai.. t.:.e r estaurant. A motion was made by Jerry Eonger to approve this agr .ent and to pay for tl o 23 dinners out of the treasury funds, secondeci · y Bernice Buttell and unanimously appr oved by the del egates. Further disc1wsion among the delegates as to future action to .. eve t a repetition of this jncident r esulted in the following opera ti .. s rules:

-2-Saturday Evening 6-25-60 lo At any future meeting the association officers or members appointed will arrange dinners or other accomodati0ns for delegates, members and guests of the Association by Reser-vations only. 2. Reservations must be arranged with the association o!fi~e~~ or member appointed for the meeting and should be made through the individual Club Secretaries, if possible. Turing the discussion a motion was made by Garland Peed of the Hilltoppers that the custom of varying the meeting place be resumed. He stated that during the previous year (1959) that this custom had resulted in a wide acquaintanceship among the various clubs where tho~e members attending met the whole membership of the host Club or Clubs rather than a few members who regularly attended the meetings. And also resulted in a personal acquaintanceship of the local members with the Officers and ailns of the association. Because of the nature of this special mectine this motion was tabled until the next general meeting at Sacrrunento Hhcn it could be discussed. I J

Jeep t r acks in the meadows are filled up and appear to be in better condition than the surround-ing territory due to new grass growth. Also, where Jeeps had been driwen across gulleys the resulting t r acks had acted to collect pebbles and silt and form small. dams which had apparently prevented further erosion in the gull eys0 'I'he Area Closures Committee is completing a map which they believe will include all the closed areas in the State. It was also requested anyone hearing of areas being closed or contemplated cl osure should for1mrd such information to President Steve Morris. Vice President Forrest Sheppa related two incidents which occurred at the head of nine-mile canyon road. The Department of Agriculture is building a l ogging road in the Sequoia National Forest from the end of this road, and had placed a chain across i-t w'here it jo:ined the nine-mile canyon road. In the first incident a Jeeper was given a citation for being on the new road which he had enter ed by coming across countryo Mr., Sheppa felt that the citation for driving on a road under construction probably would be hard to prove since there were no construction ma:rkerso In the second case a man was caught unbolting the barrier chain and this probably could be enforcedo Mr,, Sheppa and his party were told by the Department 0f Agriculture Field man, not a Ranger or Sheriff, that should t hey enter anywhere in the area they would be cited by himo Although t hey believed this mdividual was exceeding his authority, t hey went around and .following a homesteader's road they lmew,. went in behind the closed area. It was admitted by the Department, of Agriculture Field mrurr that the area would be open soon anyway as logging roads or public roads in any case. In the discussion t hat followed Preside1 t ~·iorris stated that he did not know first hand of any case of a fine for entering the Natio112al Forest in a jeep and asked :Vo:-o Sheppa to report on the outcome o:f the t wo cases cited. He also r equested that the Association be notified in any case such an incident as this occurso Communications Committee: Gt1rland Peed, Chairman, r eported that only three Glubs had filled out the Communications form which is the last page of the second edition of the State Newspo.pere He requestGd that the forms be filled out regardless·o£ the number of sets in each Club, incl uding Clubs that de not have r adio sets11

Area Closures· Committee: The fol.lowing report was mailed +.,o tre Secret oy Bill Bryan, Chairman of the SouthE:rn Section of the Arca Closures., ¥.ir. Bryan 1s plan of donating State Asf''.)(;:Lation members 7olunteer aid to the County of Riverside or any otrer countJ in the sout,hern area to develop prospective park areas for 4~-\;heel ciri ve recreational areas was referred to Mr";Ed Walker, Juperintencient of Parks. Ne. Walker stated that if He enjoy the areas in their present state, why do anything else to develop them. }men an area is developed it then requires cmstant care to rrevent destruction, and removal of debris left by the general public. Inasmuch as the hikers and equestrians have camp grounds devoted exclusively to their personal use, I have raised the question as to shy aren't camps set aside and designated in certain areas ta be used mainly for 4•Wheel Drive Op3rat.ors, and this is not to mean that anyplace else would be off limits to our use. Mr. Walker suggested that we take steps to have certain canyons., trails and roads designated as 11Jeep Trails11 as shown on U. S. Governme-.nt topographic maps by writing to: Geological Survey, Distribution Section, Federal Center, Denver 25. Col..orado. A catalog on maps which are avail-able may be obtained. Pi.eking out desirable routes and presenting our requests to the Director of Parks and Recreation or Director of Roads for your county; the County can then designate as unimproved county roads, routes which would give Jeep units unclosable access to existing govern-ment lands which may be used for our Recreational fu_rposes. Due to an oversight Bill Bryan did not have an opportunity to present the above report to the :Delegates personally.

This is particularly noted in the Area Closures Group.. In the Toiyabee.Area No. ]_* private land owners have openEd up trails allowing persons to cross their land to get to the trails and according to the Forest Rangers they -i-rl..ll cooperate on posted lands so 1ong as this privelege is not abused. The brochures continue to be mailed out and the Willys 1-iotors CorpOJration have been plaeing this brochure in the new vehicles sold in California and also in Oregon and Fevada. This distributio , •as approved by the Area Closures Committee since these states have tre same problens we do and 4-vJheel drive vehicles s.li oi.D.d operate in the •ational For-es ts and Parks Trails -w.i. th utmost discretion.
