The Snow Grooming program and State Sno-Parks will also be greatly affected or closed. In addition, the Governor is proposing to take $21 million...

We Have a New Governor – What will this mean for OHV recreation?

by Bob Ham With Jerry Brown returning as governor we have the opportunity to examine his past performance and how that might relate to OHV recreation in California.
