"PISTOL" Pete Sohren, famous Baja racing Super Star, joined BlueRibbon Coalition and is helping us grow the organization, save our trails and keep our sports alive.

"PISTOL" is BlueRibbon with his kids and family when he's not spanking the bumps in Baja. He knows how important it is that we ALL join our land use organizations, starting with the BlueRibbon Coalition.

The BRC Board of Directors, staff and contractors know very well that our access battles will be won by a large united team of folks working toward common goals, with focused objectives. "BlueRibbon is the national grassroots organization that can continue to build the team that will win the fights," said Greg Mumm, Executive Director of the BlueRibbon Coalition.

Safari Straps Supports BlueRibbon Coalition




It's always such a pleasure to let folks know when a business is following through with their commitment to land use and access. Safari Straps is one of those stellar businesses, in my book. They have been donating 10% of their sales to BlueRibbon Coalition these past couple months and WOW, it's awesome. It's really helping BRC save our trails.




BRC has seen righteous donations from Safari Straps from the Jeep Beach event in Florida with the Mid Florida Jeep Club, the Big Bear Forest Fest (with the Inland Empire 4Wheelers), and coming up with the JK Summerfest in Irvine, CA, with the http://www.gotjk.com/ folks they have donated another set of Safari Straps worth $355 to help raise money (not to mention awareness) for BRC. AWESOME.

Thank you Safari Straps for all you do, and for your great product. Stacie and I run Safari Strap products on our Jeep TJ and we can attest to their usefulness, durability and quality.

Learn more about these great folks and their awesome product line at http://www.safaristraps.com.

Reno, NV, Cameras and Photography

While at Reno Rocks 4x4 this past weekend, I had minor camera issues, needed some photo supplies (and had cameras that needed serious cleaning, right now). I found a couple places worth putting in your notebook of places to get good service.
For supplies and cameras, try Gordon's Photo Service (in Reno and Carson City):

If you need camera cleaning and service, Steve Sweringen owns and operates the Camera Clinic and he took care of three of my units, on the spot, with excellent service (and some helpful advice as well):

When I find businesses that do what they say they do, take care of customers and offer a fair price, I like to make mention of them in order to help you make better choices on where you spend your money.
