Another year of Trail Maintenance has gone by. The Volunteers completed work on Trails 800, 800A, 800B, 999, and 1516. These are in good to excellent shape except for the portion of 800 NE of the warming Hut which has sections that are partially brushed in. Brush work was done on this section of 800 but was not completed in 2023. This will be the main priority for 2024 to complete the brush clearing. Other work planned for 2024 is touch up on Trail 999 and other sections of 800.. Trail 3094 May also get some touch up work.

Thanks to the Volunteers Jeff Arhers, Dennis and Jeannie Falconer, Brent Lewis, Makenak Long, Larry May, Bryan Powers, Steve and Bev Powers, Keith Putnam, Rick Schrader, and Glenda and Joe Winters for Volunteering to perform Trail Maintenance, help review the new Forest Service Trail Maintenance Contract, and becoming Forest Service Chain Saw Certified.

Hear is our ride schedule that we came up with this year. it looks like a few new rides some old rides but a lot of fun.

The Idaho Senate held a late session in to the evening last night. The result was overwhelming success for two of our initiatives. H86, which simplifies the sticker and registration process through IDPR, passed 35-0. It has now passed both chambers without a single no vote. H129, which allows expanded use of OHVs on public roads (including numbered state highways), passed 32-2. It has now passed both chambers, receiving only 2 no votes (in the Senate; nobody opposed in the House). I fully expect Governor Little will sign both bills inasmuch as they received such tremendous Legislative support. Thank you to each of you for the support you provided to ISATVA and IRC as we moved these bills forward on your behalf.
Best wishes,
David P. Claiborne, President
