This is wonderful news, folks. The grant money (about $4000) will go to the Rubicon Trail Foundation which is funding FOTR directly on appropriate projects and efforts. Besdies that, BFG is going to give us a freebie raffle at our event this summer. You gotta make this one! Tim (see below) said they'll put on a pretty good for feed for us too. So plan to make this one. I'll let you know the date (June, July or August) as soon as we firm things up.
Here's the note I got from the program administrator. The Rubicon Trail has been selected as part of the 2007 Outstanding Trails program by BFGoodrich Tires. I want to introduce myself. My name is Tim Gilman; I’m the manager of this program. Along with United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA) and Tread Lightly, BFGoodrich Tires created the Outstanding Trails program to highlight five of the best off-road trails in the country each year and to aid in the responsible use and preservation of these off-road trails. The Rubicon Trail was selected from a very large field this year; you should be very proud. In its inaugural year in 2006, the program was a huge success, and we look forward to this year’s campaign. If you would like to check it out for yourself, go to http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/outstandingtrails. Once again, Congratulations! Tim Gilman
