The Stanislaus National Forest has announced the release of their Final Environmental Impact Statement within the next three weeks, but they have already scheduled the public meetings.
The meeting schedule is as follows:

At the Sierra Trek 2010 meeting on November 5, the following was decided by the Sierra Trek Chair, Jeff Blewett, assisted by a vote of those people who attended the meeting and those who filled out the online survey.
Sierra Trek base camp for 2010 will be at Meadow Lake.
The date is the second week in August. (August 12, 13, 14, & 15)
The price is set at $180 for Thursday through Sunday per person. Those who pre-register for Trek 2010 prior to December 31, 2009 can sign up 2009 prices. Click here for online registration.
There are still a lot of committees to be filled and details to work out, so please attend the next Trek meeting, set for January 28, 2010. We need volunteers in order to have a successful 2010 Sierra Trek.
The 2010 Convention is coming up fast! We're busy organizing a great event for you in Sacramento, and plan to have several seminars to provide helpful information to four-wheelers.
Do you have a topic that you can share with us? We're looking for off-road businesses to speak about their products, someone to demonstrate cooking in a Dutch oven (or camp cooking in general), how to install accessories on your rig, and anything else that you think our members might be interested in.
Sierra Trek is our biggest fundraiser. We are in the midst of a very important issue regarding the event and we need YOUR help to make a decision on where the next Trek event will be held. This decision will not please everyone, but this is YOUR Association and we will do our best to go with the majority consensus, as long as our budget will allow us to. Please use the link below to be taken to the survey form.
New advertising option available: Gearbox Directory
Written by Suzy Johnson
Let's face it: the economy has taken a toll on most of us, especially small businesses, our sport, our events, and our advertising. So we came up with a new idea for the In Gear magazine called the Gearbox directory. It's a great low-cost alternative to display ads.
Our new directory will appear near the back of the magazine where listings like this usually appear. They are only $35 each time that they run, or $189 if you pay for the year (six issues). They are a great way to promote your business, sell an item, say happy birthday, honor a loved one, promote your club or event, or just to support the association. All proceeds from the ads go straight back to the general fund to help with the daily operation of the association, which includes fighting to keep our trails open.
