We are going to start focusing on off-roading day trips. We are
hoping to do at least one trip per month. This will be held the third
Thursday of every month. We meet in the north parking lot of the
Lodge at 8 am. In May we went off-roading in Coyote Canyon in the
Borrego Springs area. This rugged area is the summer home to the
Desert Big-Horned Sheep so the trail closes May 30. We didn't see
any sheep; however, we did get to see the Air Force conducting low
level training flights. There were four vehicles that participated in
the trip. We enjoyed a picnic lunch as well. Anyone who has a four-
wheel drive vehicle is welcome. Most of the trips are on state service
trails designated as four-wheel drive. We do not do extreme off-
roading. If you do not own a four-wheel drive vehicle, you are more
than welcome to ride along. Call Bob Cooper to make arrangements,
or with club questions, at (951) 769-6352. ~ Bob Cooper

The Turner's Sports Fair at Raahoughes Range was a great opportunity
to enjoy the shooting sports. Those who went had a great time trying
out the new models and favorites that we don't want to/can't own in
California. July and August monthly meetings are going to be postponed
due to vacations, so be ready with your "summer shootin'" stories to share
at the September meeting. Have fun and be safe. For information, e-mail
