Right, so we only need to gain 5 or 6% and we'll make it.

WTF is Dusy/Ershim?  Oh right, this forum is mostly you Cali folks...  Sorry, gotta go for Blanca, since it's one I actually wheel.  It would be tough to pick between that and Golden Spike if it weren't so far behind.

WTF is Dusy/Ershim?

Last year I saw 4 rigs from Arizona and 3 rigs from Colorado on the Dusy. It always draws visitors from out of state. In my firm opinion it is the most beautiful trail we have in all of California. I'd love to wheel the Blanca trail someday as it looks pretty cool :) You guys are lucky you don't have all the environmental wackos forcing your precious trails to close ...... Winning this will be so huge for Dusy!

Got 4 Dusy votes in today already :D

I didn't loose any votes Dusy just closed the gap some. I've been voting daily. You can vote as many times a day as you have IP addresses. Say once from home, once from your cell and once from work. Do it every day.

Actually with your smart phone you can go into airplane mode or shut it off then turn it back on and your phone will come up with a new IP allowing you to vote again.

 
It didn't, it just has a smaller percentage of the total votes.

Hey guys,

I was checking out the Colorado forum and check this out, posted last night:

Quote
Just got off of a conference call with BFG this afternoon.

Due to some "issues" beyond BFG's control.

Voting will be extended to June 30.
Soon the page will show the number of votes as well as percentage.
The totals may soon change suddenly due to an adjustment they're making re votes prior to Apr-26 (probably won't help us)
Each club is getting a donation to their land use funds for the inconvenience (yay BFG!!)

Not going to share the reasons for this in a public forum. suffice to say it's their first shot at a voting process and there's a learning curve

At any rate I want to thank everyone for the votes whatever the results may be. All the trails are worthy, but Blanca IMO is special.
Thanks guys (and gals)


I n t e r e s t i n g . . .

I was told BFG already did this and that the Rubicon trail won it last year. How then is this their first time doing a vote? Hmmmmmm

Hey guys,

I was just informed that the 4WD Club of Fresno's thread I had originally linked to is not their main thread.

Here is their main thread on this BFG Outstanding Trail topic: http://www.4wdcfresno.net/forum/index.php?topic=441.0

I had _no clue_ about this thread until just now :thud:


EDIT: I just realized you must be logged into the Fresno site to access this thread.
