Each month we will feature a club or clubs of the month. We will attempt to feature one Motorycle or ATV club and one Four Wheel Drive club or Association each month.We encourage ALL OHV enthusiasists to join a club or association in their area. Not only will you make lifelong friendships but it is important we join together to support our sport for the future.
 The
members of the Northern Toys Four Wheel Drive Club out of Sedro
Woolley, Washington know how to play in the snow. It is truly one
of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the outdoors. Everything
covered in white, fluffy snow. There is something special about
being the first one on a trail with a fresh layer of powder. The
Northern Toys are very active maintaining the 4WD trails of the
Walker Valley Off-Road Vehicle Park. It is the best way for the OHV
community to keep our areas of play open and maintained. I have
been involved in a number of "Adopt-A-Trail" programs. I know it
gave me a good feeling knowing I was doing something to help
preserve public access to public lands.  The Northern Toys truly
have some beautiful terrain to play in. And I bet they are hoping
for a good snow fall!!!
 MATVA
is a group of very well organized people with very clear statements
about what they are about. They believe the better educated the
riders are the better the sport of ATV'ing will be. Knowing how to
operate the ATV and how to respect the land being ridden on are
very important to keep areas open to the sport. Obviously, for any
type of vehicle, there are times and places to be careful or go all
out.  MATVA holds training courses on responsible
riding, land use, maintenance, safety and other topics. The more
riders that take these courses the better. Education is very
important for any type of off-roading. The day of the uneducated
vehicle operator is over. Those are the people who keep having our
riding areas closed. Unsafe driving, blazing trails in sensitive
areas and general tearing up of the land prevents us from enjoying
off-roading.  All this doesn't mean we can't have fun.
The object is to be responsible while having fun. Then everyone can
have an enjoyable time. Till next
month, Airdown and Lock Some Hubs!Mongo
