Changes to Forest Service Permit!

gadansie — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:32:14 +0000

*Due to the change in our forest service permit from a commercial to non-commercial permit, we will no longer include charges in our registration fee for guided rides. Organized rides will be offered each day free to the public! On Tuesday afternoon during the jamboree, those wishing to go on organized rides may select their rides and sign up for those rides at that time. For those wishing to take the ATV Safety Instruction Class offered by the Arizona Game & Fish or wishing to take an overnight guided ride, please call our toll-free number at 866-520-3569 to make pre-registration arrangements. As in the past, anyone wishing to participate in an organized guided ride MUST sign an insurance waiver before being able to participate. For a listing of all trail rides available at the 2012 Jamboree, please continue to watch for updates on the website!

*Due to efforts of the Apache County ATV Roughriders Club and the forest service, the Saffel Canyon OHV Trail has now been widened to 60”! Because of this change, there will be no limitations for side by sides less than 60” on any of the organized ATV trail rides this year. If your vehicle exceeds the 60” width, please talk with our ride leaders Tuesday afternoon for suggestions for trails allowing wider vehicles.

*Due to the condition of trails created by the 2011 Wallow Fire like windfall, flooding, and erosion, trails are being reviewed and adjusted continually. The safety of our riders is absolutely our first concern. Ride Leaders will be assessing trail conditions until the very last minute before this year’s jamboree and new rides will be added as they are made available. Please continue to watch the website to get all current trail offerings for the 2012 jamboree.

Over 18 trails available for this year’s jamboree! And we’re still working on more…. We are excited about how the jamboree trails are coming together. Our great trail leaders have worked hard in coordination with the forest service identifying and modifying trails and exploring new trail options. We have four new beautiful trails available this year, modified jamboree trails into Alpine and Hannagan Meadows, trails that will take the curious through some of the Wallow Fire burn areas, and trails that weren’t even effected by the fire. It has been a definite challenge for our club, but we are confident that everyone will get the enjoyable, beautiful, green riding experience that they have always counted on at our jamboree. The mountain is unbelievably green. The weather is cool and perfect. And we still have plenty of room for everyone. So if you and your group are still contemplating coming to this year’s event, please don’t hesitate any longer!!! We have great trails and room for everyone. Don’t forget, you will be able to sign up for any ride you choose to take during the jamboree. We will have a description of each trail and plenty of ride leaders to help you decide on the perfect rides. We even have more rides than usual leaving right out of the rodeo grounds for both ATVs & UTVs.

Our authentic Mountain Man Camp will be set up again this year dishing up amazing treats on the trail. Outlaws and lawmen are still fighting over territory and holdups on the trail are always fun. Discount Tire is gathering awesome door prizes again and gearing up for the Rubber Duck Races! RideNow is ready again with prizes for our Card Shark Night on Thursday night! CanAm will be here again this year and demo rides will be available. We have also hired a live band to play on Friday night. So plenty of great music and dancing if you’re not too tired from riding! Saturday night after the fireworks show we will have cake and ice cream (thanks to Bashas) in celebration of Arizona’s 100th birthday! Another great ATV party is about to take place in beautiful Eagar, Arizona!!

Don’t miss out on all the fun! Register today!

Partially burned but still BEAUTIFUL, the Apache National Forest experienced the catastrophic Wallow Fire in June 2011. Over 1/2 million acres were burned during the fire creating a mosaic that is shown in this video. Trails have been assessed and we have over 19 rides – 13 for ATVs & UTVS, 6 ATV only rides – 13 rides that are not trailered leaving right out of the rodeo grounds – 2+ completely new rides. Each day we will also offer opportunities to do trail/forest restoration work for those wishing to help. We are still working on tweeking our ride selections and everyone can be assured that we will have great riding opportunities for everyone. Ride selections will be made available on Tuesday during registration. Please stay tuned for further updates!!

Wallow Fire Survivors Visit Neighbor’s Back Yard!

debbierogers — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:05:13 +0000

One of our neighbors, Ed Ping, emailed these wildlife shots to us from his back yard! He lives 3 houses down against the forest. He has also stayed home to protect his place. It is encouraging that some of our wildlife friends have found sanctuary in smoky Eagar! We have never seen deer in our area, lots of pesky elk, but never deer.

A Picture of Hope! Horton Creek Trailhead Survives Fire!

debbierogers — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 19:17:21 +0000

So many of you have called or emailed your concerns concerning the devastating news they are hearing from the news channels. Hank was able to drive to Hannagan Meadows and back on Sunday to see first hand the devastation of the fire. The good news is that much of the forest is still intact and will survive! Please see the pictures of Horton Creek taken last Sunday, June 5th after the Wallow Fire ripped through that area. Once the monsoons hit, the forest will green up and our mountain will start to heal.

Clifford Qotsaquahu, our good friend from the Hopi Tribe, just forwarded an email from the San Carlos Apache Tribe being sent to all of our Native American friends in the southwest. Hank and I broke down and sobbed from the kind, humble, faithful words of our good Native American friends. Please join us all at 7 pm tonight in prayer and meditation for the safety of all our firefighters and for the much needed rains we need. What a great reminder that we are all truly brothers and sisters and that in times of severe trial, we will pull together and make it through.

Email from Dorothea Stevens, San Carlos Apache Nation forwarded to Cliff Qotsaquahu, Hope Tribe:

Hello everybody – as you can probably see on the news the Wallow fire in Northern Arizona is still uncontrollable and spreading. The fire has destroyed everything in its path. If you have a local tribal medicine man please have them join us in a tribal prayer to help the firefighters and all involved. Pray so the winds stop and the rains start (without lightning please) We want to pray for the safety of all, put the wall up to protect our land and animals from fire. All the choppers, manpower, planes, and bulldozers are not enough, they need our help. We are one Nation as Natives and our traditional prayers to the Creator as Natives can be pretty powerful; not only is our tribal lands at stake (White Mountain & San Carlos Apaches, possibly Zuni, and some Navajo areas), but our non-native friends also need our help. Please lets all connect our minds, hearts and our prayers across the miles and pray. If we can join together at 7 pm Arizona time, Thursday evening 6/9/11, wherever you are and whatever you have plan please stop for a few minutes and raise your hands to the Creator to ask for help.

If all of you can forward this message across the Nations to all the rezs we can reach many thru phone and internet. Please start forwarding asap to reach as many as we can.

Thank you, Dorothea Stevens, San Carlos Apache Nation

the plan is to get the local medicine men to do a prayer with all of you across the nation at one time 7pm Thursday. Please if your spiritual preference is not traditional – pray with us in however way you talk to the Creator. Thank you. Dorothea

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers and concern! We will make it through this and WE WILL BE FINE!
