Tahuya Clean Up a Success (Washington)

DNR called and you answered. Our Tahuya State Forest cleanup last weekend near Belfair was a success. Some 50 volunteers helped collect more than 50 cubic yards of garbage that had been dumped in the area (think of a sidewalk about 3-feet wide and one mile long). More than 50 tires, plus sofas, mattresses, bikes, propane tanks, even pianos. Coordinating the event was Jesse Sims, Recreation Manager for the DNR South Puget Sound Region. Following the cleanup, Sims said, “Any and everything you could imagine. I will not get into all the details!”

Finally an ARB Air Locker Available for Your Late Model Ford F150

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ford 9 3/4″ 34 Spline ARB Air Locker RD150

Seattle, WA – Until now, users of the popular 34-spline Ford 9 3/4″ axle were limited to conventional differential choices. A compromise in performance, traction and handling was simply unavoidable. Fortunately, ARB has responded to the problem and now offers a solution that provides drivers with the best of both worlds. The newest Air Locker to emerge from ARB’s innovative engineering department may also be one of the company’s most highly anticipated model.

ARB’s patented 2-piece case design is manufactured from heavy cross sectioned nodular iron casting for virtually unbreakable strength. As with all of ARB’s Performance Air Lockers, the RD150 features ARB’s patented Time Gear Technology, which offers the highest locking strength while maintaining split-second unlocking ability. Internally, a steel reinforced, bonded seal has been designed to handle the most extreme climactic temperatures on earth complementing the competition bred strength of the locker.

Well aware of the demands necessitated by this competitive market, the Air Locker engineering department utilized the very latest CAD, CAM, parametric solid modeling systems, and finite element analysis packages when developing the RD150 Air Locker. This technology enabled Air Locker engineers to test a computer generated model in an unlimited number of virtual environments before the final product was developed. The results of ARB’s comprehensive development program are impressive to say the least.

With more than 6 million Ford 9 3/4″ axles on the streets in a variety of models, most notably the Ford F150, this locker is anticipated to be in demand. Pre orders are currently being accepted.

Stormy Weather Wreaks Havoc on DNR Trails In The Olympic Peninsula (Washington)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DNR Crews Cleaning Up Foothills And Sadie Creek Trail Systems

Olympia, WA – Last week’s high winds pounded the Olympic Peninsula, causing extensive damage to a widespread swath of forest land and recreation areas managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The agency is alerting visitors that sections of Foothills Off-road (ORV) and Sadie Creek/4×4 trail systems will be closed while crews assess the damage and work to clear downed limbs and trees from the trails.

For safety reasons, staff in DNR’s Olympic Region advise the public to turn around if they encounter tree limbs and downed trees across the trails. DNR asks that the public avoid cutting or bucking up downed limbs and trees, which can be highly dangerous. Certain sections of trail have also been washed out, creating even more unsafe conditions.

Crews are working to re-open the trails as soon as possible, but it may be a week or two before the trail sections are passable.

To find out the status of trails in the area, contact Wayne Fitzwater in the Olympic Region office at 360-374-2800.

Recreation on DNR-Managed Lands

DNR manages more than 5 million acres of state-owned forest, aquatic, agricultural, conservation and urban lands. Most recreation on these lands takes place in the 2.1 million acres of forests that DNR manages as state trust lands. By law, DNR manages state trust lands to produce income for schools, universities, prisons, state mental hospitals, community colleges, local services in many counties, and the state’s general fund. State trust lands are also managed to provide fish and wildlife habitat and educational and recreational opportunities.

DNR-managed lands provide a variety of landscapes throughout Washington State. Recreational opportunities include hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, camping, motorized vehicle riding, mountain biking, and boating.

DNR’s main recreation focus is to provide trails, trailhead facilities, and a primitive experience in a natural setting.
