OAUSA Net at Bass Pro Shops
On October 16, 2008, the weekly Outdoor Adventure net will be controlled from within the Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga. This will be the first time this net has actually gone on location to do a live net from within a store. There will be roving "reporters" to give accounts of what they find in the various departments of the store. This will be a very interesting net to say the least. As usual, the net starts at 7:30 p.m., and you can participate by using the Keller Peak repeater.
In addition, before and during the net there will be a Meet and Greet. This is a time to come and meet new friends that share your passion for the outdoors. The Meet and Greet will start at 5:30 in the parking lot.

Summer is here, and for many off-road enthusiasts, that means spending even more time on the numerous trails and paths available to us. This is a good time to review the code of ethics that all conscientious drivers live by. Sometimes we become a bit complacent, and forget the fundamentals that have guided drivers for years.

A Difficult Extraction
Last Updated (Tuesday, 13 May 2008 10:39) Written by Tom Severin Tuesday, 13 May 2008 10:34
It was a wet Sunday in March. From time to time snow squalls would blow through coating the vehicles but melting as soon as it toughed the ground. Occasionally the sun would peek out. Normally hard-baked clay trails with traction like slick rock had become slick and greasy. I had been picking the more sandy trails for my class of new enthusiasts. It was about 3:45 PM and I had just shifted to 2WD in preparation to lead the beginning class out of the Park when the last vehicle in our group was intercepted by a vehicle looking for help. A Toyota land cruiser had flipped over. Fortunately no one was injured.
