This year's Convention to honor our members who are on active duty or Armed Forces veterans. Event will be held February 19-21 in Sacramento.

CA4WDC is heading into its second 50 years of service in the OHV arena. We are only three weeks away from our 51st Annual Convention and unfortunately we have less than 100 people registered. The Convention Committee has been working very hard to put together a stimulating, informative and fun-filled convention program. I need just a couple minutes of your time to give you an idea of what we have planned for you and tell you how easy it is to register.

The Convention kicks off Friday morning with a with a Tread Lightly Training seminar at 8 am (pre-registration required – see this link for more info). The Trade Show (4x4 vendors and MORE) will open at noon and be open until 5 pm on Friday. On Friday afternoon there will be BOD meeting from 1-5 pm. The Hospitality Room will open at 6:30 pm on Friday. In the Hospitality Room, besides the usual “hospitality” we will have three projectors showing CA4WDC event pictures (if you have any to share please contact me ASAP). The Hospitality Room will go until 12pm or until interest wanes.

FOTR & RTF still committed after Board of Supervisor's decision

Placerville, CA January 26, 2010: In a historic event, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted to formalize the alignment of the world-famous Rubicon Trail. This decision includes a handful of important bypasses around some of the more difficult sections of trail, providing trail users the option of taking a less difficult route around the toughest segments of trail. In a meeting which lasted well into the night, the Board of Supervisors heard arguments from county residents, off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, environmental activists, the U.S. Forest Service, and the State Parks OHV Division about how to best define the trail which winds through the scenic Sierra Nevada west of Lake Tahoe.
