The work continues to establish a permanent competition rock crawl course in Washington. There are several local volunteers and business owners who are helping the project manager and property owner's Dan Morrison and the Morrison Group push the motor sports area to become a reality. Dan Morrison is a sprint boat racer who is passionate about his sport and wants to have a track available for local boat racers and make his park a stop for national events. His excitement in building this park has now come to include a world championship rock crawl venue. Two extreme motor sports venues in one location will prove to be a destination for race fans nation wide as well as local Washington State Residents. The area will be a family friendly economic boost for local residents and business located on the the Olympic Peninsula.
Mr. Morrison has been a long time resident in Port Angles, Washington and contributed to the community in many ways. He has been operating his private business in the area for 20 plus years and has the support local business owners and residents for this project. The proposed site has been designated near the William R. Fairchild International Port Angeles. The positive economic impact that a venue like this will prove to be a stimulus for the community. The influx of added business to the area during an event weekend could potentially rival the likes of the Sequim Lavender Festival. The many supporters large and small include the 7 Cedars Casino in Sequim, Alderson Auto body, TJC Contracting, Dog House Powder Coating, and ECT Off-Road to name just a few.
Morrison has had the opportunity to address many Port Angeles City officials and The Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce, to define his plans and rally support for this project. He said he is enthusiastic about what sprint boat racing and other competitions on the land could do for Port Angeles. "There is really very little gain in this for us putting on the sport," he said. "The best benefit is for the community and for the town putting it on. The planning and proposed track layouts are currently still under scrutiny by the Army Corps of Engineers, who have been slow to respond to the requests of the Morrison Group. "Dan has always been the type of guy who keeps things moving and doesn't back down. He understands what a great positive economic impact this project will have upon the community."

Help save one of the most hardcore trails in Moab! Check out the link below to sens in your letters now...lets get opened back up before Easter Jeep Safari 2009. http://www.rockymountainextreme.com/showthread.php?t=60284
Help us re-open Coyote Canyon Background: Coyote Canyon is one of Moab’s premier rock crawling trails. With the implementation of the BLM’s new Moab RMP, it is now closed to vehicle traffic. Why it was closed: The new RMP limits motorized travel to “designated” routes. Any route to be considered for travel had to be included on the BLM maps prior to December 30, 2003.
While we were successful in getting several previously un-mapped trails on the list (such as Rusty Nail, Where Eagles Dare, and the Pickle) prior to the deadline, Coyote was not submitted. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, Coyote did not exist prior to this date. It was, however, created in an area that was designated “open” at the time of creation, which technically made it legal. Since the trail was not included, it was never considered, and was therefore closed. How we can get it re-opened: The new RMP allows for the designation of new routes. However, the BLM has not yet created a procedure for this. Moab Friends-For-Wheelin’ wants to gather information, letters of support, etc. now, so we can submit our request for designation as soon as the BLM allows. What we need: I would like everyone that has an interest in seeing this trail re-opened to write a letter of support, and mail or email it to me. I will collect the letters, and then submit them to the BLM along with other documents (photos, GPS data, our “Adopt-A-Trail" proposal, etc.).
At some time in the future, I may also ask for letters to be sent directly to the BLM, but at this point we need to wait for their “procedure” to be put into place. What to say in your letter: Please address your letter to “BLM, Moab Field Office, 82 E. Dogwood Ave, Moab UT 84532.” Some ideas include: Tell them why you think Coyote Canyon should be re-opened. Why is it important to you and your family? Why is it important to Moab’s economy? Why do we need a legal, “hardcore” rock crawling trail? How can a trail such as Coyote Canyon help take pressure off of other existing trails such as Pritchett Canyon or Moab Rim? What would you personally do to help insure that Coyote Canyon and the surrounding area remains clean and free of abuse? Thank you! Please email letters to me at drtsqrl@frontiernet.net. Or, you can mail a hard copy to me (PM me for my address).
I believe that we have a pretty decent shot at this, but we need your help!
