>Truckee, CA, Chris Cryder and Myron Cooper are back in Truckee but still recovering after a week spent aiding victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Cryder and Cooper, both long-time Truckee residents, began their journey to the Gulf Coast on Sept. 12, driving the Cryder family’s six-sleeper Winnebago, which would later be donated to a storm victim, and towing a 24-foot trailer filled with food, toiletries, and camping equipment.

The decision to donate his vacation vehicle came to Cryder just days after the storm hit and the devastation was evident. He said his family only used the Winnebago a few times a year and that it would be appreciated by someone in need. Full Story…

>Ogden, Utah, On the edge of the Uinta Mountains on scenic State Road 150, the U.S. Forest Service has built a campground that caters to the ATV community.

Eight miles up Failure Canyon east of Kamas, the Taylor’s Fork OHV Campground is nestled against a mountain along Beaver Creek, with a large staging area to park and unload trailers. It features a Forest Service toilet and drinking water, and it is suitable for group camping.

There is no charge for making the trip from Kamas over to Evanston on U.S. 150. If you plan to stop on the way and spend any time enjoying the recreation on this scenic byway, there is a day-use fee of $3. There is an additional fee of $10 per night for camping, but the $3 covers parking in the staging area for the day of your ride. Full Story…
