That the population of the U.S. continues to grow is documented by census data. That the sale of OHVs continues to grow at triple digit rates is documented by industry sales data. That attendance at events continues to increase every year is documented by increased registrations. These trends point towards an increasing population growth fueling an increase in demand for recreation - notably, motorized recreation.
Key to supporting the increases in population and recreation demand is access to land. That is a good news-bad news situation. Your view of good or bad depends on your understanding of the demographics behind the increasing population. |

Economic Meltdown
-----------------
The entire nation remains gripped by the news of a major economic meltdown among some of our largest financial institutions. Homes, jobs, and retirement accounts all seem to be in potential jeopardy. Panic reigned among the Washington policymakers who made dire predictions of the consequences of taking no action to address the credit crisis. Who would have thought that something like this could occur in the cradle of the free market system?

It’s easy nowadays to rely entirely on a GPS receiver to direct you during a trip. Just program in your destination, and let the friendly voice and digital map guide you along the way. But like any electronic gadget, a GPS unit has its limitations, and you can end up in trouble if you’re not careful. Plus, they can lose power or break, leaving you stranded if you don’t have a back up.

Time for a little "election year" pontification...... Election 2008 (Election Day is Nov. 4, 2008) is shaping up to be a watershed year in U.S. politics. As election day apporaches, many issues are surfacing that trigger emotions. It is time to turn the focus on to the structure where events are being shaped that will have a significant impact on the future. Starting from top down...
Federal:
The President does set an agenda. Also, the President does appoint some critical positions that can have a significant impact on access to public lands. |

 Within yards after leaving the pavement, wheelers engage in the final preparations for the trail. The responsible wheeler knows that low tire pressure is a significant traction boost on unpaved trail surfaces. And, there are a number of ways to let the air out to reach the desired pressure.
Over the years I have tried all of the latest accessories to speed the task of air-down. Trying to find a valve core stem in the sand is not the way to start the day. I can think of better things to do than kneeling in the mud with a screw driver tip holding the valve stem in.
Then, along came automatic deflators that screw on to the valve stem. While they work, it does take timing to achieve the correct pressure. But, that was the early models. Staun has developed a deflator that works; screw it on and it stops at a pre-set level.
