This past Saturday at a local GBR event Curtis Barhart was proudly awarded the United Four Wheel Drive Assoc. "Four Wheeler of the Year" award. Curtis was proudly nominated by SFWDA and considered among other dedicated and qualified applicants but Curtis was ultimately chosen to receive this great accolade for 2015.
First picnic table completed and sign at the entrance. One more sign, two more tables, remove temporary bracing and general clean up and the area will be ready for use (not 100% but close). Target date to begin using will be September 1st, 2015.
Thanks to a grant from Southern Four Wheel Drive Association and hard work from Ohio River Four Wheelers, a washout on old Fincastle Road in Lee County was repaired yesterday.
Both groups support Friends Of Boone and the #DBBB. Southern Four Wheel Drive Association is your regional association of off road enthusiasts. SFWDA includes individuals, clubs, member businesses, and offers national representation on Land Use and trail development as well as family events. Ohio River Four Wheelers is a great group of knowledgeable off road enthusiasts based in Cincinnati. Their strong backs and keen ideas led to this repair of beautiful Old Fincastle Rd.
This is where the rubber meets the road in sustainable multiple use recreation folks. Get involved! #DBBB!
For more info on how your group can utilize our Grant program and to apply today check out our Grant Info page on our SFWDA website.

"We are now official! Our adopted two mile stretch of Hwy 31 is now all "signed up". Proud of my Jeepers who are willing to put a little community service effort in and not just show up for the fun stuff." - Troy Blackwood
Just a quick note....we've just completed a transition from one software solution to another for our membership database. What that means is you will have received an email triggered automatically notifying everyone that their recurring plan was cancelled. Rest assured nothing is necessary on your part and your membership will remain active up until your individual renewal date. From now on you will be notified by email before your membership renewal date to remind you to log into the SFWDA website and update your membership for 2016. Remember you can always check your renewal date and modify your billing, etc. from within your membership profile at www.sfwda.org
A huge thanks from all within the OHV community. Great work; Sam Baggarly, Oscar Indreland and all the WRJC gang. Very nice!
