WOW! Super nice 4-page spread in the January issue of Canada's 4WD Magazine. Special thanks to Albert Vandervelde for writing such a great article. Extra special thanks to his pilot for the BFG day, Dustin Braaten "TORX" for being so well informed about the Yacolt Burn Trail Project and sharing your enthusiam with Albert. Good PR is very hard to get - getting accurate PR is almost impossible. Great work Dustin! Lots of "front and center" pics in the article for the Johdahl's in their "Lucky Jeep", nice shots of Daryl Keenan tip-toeing his LJ into the big mud hole and Joey "taking a break" on a stump. But the big news . . . drumroll please . . . Mr. Winters wins the lottery with his "old iron" CJ-5 securing the magazine's cover shot for January. Way to go my friend! Others pictured too, take a peek at 4WD Magazine's online version... www.vdocshop.com/doc/apv-publishing-inc/4wdjan011ezine/2011022201/#38Crystal

I saw this on the Yacolt Burn Trails Facebook page (thanks Kayla & Joey). Also saw it on some peoples personal Facebook pages...
Is there any chance we could get a link to this on the the Piston's Wild Motorsports Facebook page???
Thanks in advance.

Outstanding.
That's very rewarding to read the article, and take in the pictures. It's a great reminder of what we're working towards.
Also, nicely done JD. I remember you gave it some extra pepper coming out of that hole. Looks like it payed off. ;D

I emailed Albert and told him that he did an awesome job on the article! In fact the whole darn magazine is a great read! I also emailed him and asked if I could purchase just the single issue or if I have to buy a whole years subscription. I want this issue in my stash of good mags!

Writing a thank you letter to Albert is a great idea! But based on the fact the Albert and his wife Pam run this magazine almost single handedly, the best possible way to say thank you to him would be to subscribe to his magazine because you want to --- not because you have to... SUBSCRIPTIONS: $21.95 per year subscriptions@can4x4.com 1-877-479-4823 www.can4x4.comAn even better idea is to tell your favorite 4x4 businesses that they should advertise in Albert's magazine. I have already ordered Darel a subscription to this magazine and I will be contacting Albert to purchase quantities of the January issue for future club PR activities. Crystal
