The State of Washington transferred the ORV NOVA funds (money raised by ORV tag and the fuel
tax). The Cle Elum Ranger District maintains and patrols our 500 miles of trails with grant money
obtained through this funding. The District is working hard to come up with a skeleton crew during
this time, but riders and wheelers should expect to see changes on the ground, including possible
trail closures due to damage or safety issues that cannot be addressed. For more information,
please contact WOHVA.

Currently, we are just logging out the trails and trying to keep pace with the snow melt. We are
already feeling the budget cuts, as I only have one other ranger working with me each weekend.
Our full crew will be working the week before and the Memorial Day Weekend. Other than
that...Just out trying to get things done with 1/4 of the workforce. We have the same crew members
this season: Mikki, John McHaffie, Steve (Bear) Cromien, Jeremy McGinnis, and Merrick Graves.
But, their hours are cut way back, so for the most part they are rotating weekends.
This past weekend (May 8-9), John and I logged out the Taneum, including the Icewater
Campground short loop and Kid's trail, the North and South Fork Taneum trails to the snowline (no
loops yet), the Taneum Ridge trail to the snowline (Fishhook Flats), and our volunteers logged out
approx. 7 mileson the Cle Elum Ridge Trail.
This weekend, we will see if we can get the FIshhook loop open, but I would expect we will be
snowed in down low. I will keep you posted.
