NRA, BlueRibbon Coalition, and Access to Lands

National Rifle Association Fully Involved in Public Land Access Issues

The NRA has gotten heavily involved in helping to keep lands open to motorized and non-motorized access for hunters, very much like the BlueRibbon Coalition and other motorized recreation groups.

While this is certainly helpful, in my estimation, more NRA members need to join up with BlueRibbon Coalition because the myth that hunters are not OHVers has come to an end. If you use a quad, dirt bike, tote goat, jeep or 4x4 to get around in the back country, retrieve game and get to your favorite hunting spot, you ARE in fact an OHVer in the eyes of many.

We need to combine forces and build a bigger Army. See my write up here: http://www.delalbright.com/Access/nra_access.html

July 4th Parade in Rural Town America

It was a great day and awesome parade (for Mokelumne Hill, CA). We're a small, rural, northern CA town with a lot of spirit. My four-wheel drive club has the spirit and patriotism as well.

Never forget and never let freedom walk away...

Fun times were had by all (with some great 4x4 rigs with flags).

Independence Day, an American Celebration

Happy Independence Day, July 4th, to you and yours. I hope you will take a moment, like we will, and thank those who gave us (and continue to give us) our freedoms. Our great country was founded on freeing ourselves from socialistic tyranny and religious persecution. I for one, enjoy those freedoms, have fought for them, and still believe in the strength that makes America strong.

Enjoy a parade, wave an American flag, take a kid to see fireworks -- any and all those things we have the freedom to do in the good ole USA. Bless us and our great country.

Happy Independence Day!
