Founded in 1911, Campbell County is rich in minerals and in community commitment. Considered the energy capital of the west, coal and gas industries dominate the landscape here, creating jobs for citizens and tax revenues to build state-of-the-art schools, public safety facilities and more. Gillette's Cam-Plex, situated on 1,100 acres, is Wyoming's largest events complex. A National Hockey League sized ice rink and other recreational facilities keep young people active. Meanwhile, Gillette is just a day's drive from the famed Devils Tower and Mount Rushmore national monuments.

President theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils tower the first national monument in 1906, and today it is the showpiece of a 1,347-acre national park. Devils tower was also prominently featured in steven spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Once you're unpacked, swing by the Campbell County Rockpile Museum.

On Sunday, start the day right with breakfast at Boss Lodge Restaurant & Business Center or Perkins Family Restaurant, and then check out the CAM-PLEX, a multipurpose complex that's hosted everything from national rodeo competitions to week-long fireworks exhibitions.

One rollicking example is the high-banked, 3/8-mile, dirt track oval of the Gillette Thunder Speedway, a popular racing venue whose attendance has grown steadily over the years. Motorsports action at the speedway takes place every Saturday night from mid-April to mid-September. The Gillette Thunder was established in 1977, but moved to its current location on the eastern portion of the CAM-PLEX property in 2004. CAM-PLEX donated the land to the track, and the speedway holds its weekly races as a nonprofit organization. The divisions that compete each Saturday night are late models, limiteds, B-modifieds, A-modifieds and thunder stocks. Other events include two sprint car races that are scheduled twice a year, a monster truck competition and the nationally known World of Outlaws series that makes an appearance at Gillette Thunder every July. "On any given Saturday night, we have 85-115 cars out here competing, with 1,5001,800 people in the pit road areas and another 600-1,000 people in the grandstands," says Ed Kirchoff, promoter of the Gillette Thunder Speedway. "No kidding, this is one of the best manicured dirt tracks in Wyoming � it is real friendly to the tires and the car chassis. Plus it's � Our buses are clean and comfortable with air conditioning and restrooms � Wheelchair accessible buses available upon request � Charter and contract services 1700 E.

Also part of the dirt-related excitement in Gillette is motocross racing, which involves motorcycles racing outdoors on tough terrain within an enclosed area. Such is the case at Powder Basin Motocross Track, which was established in 1992 and is also located on CAM-PLEX property along a 20-acre site. The one-mile dirt track features tight, windy A driver takes a turn at full speed during the late models main event at the Gillette thunder speedway. "people in Wyoming like the outdoors, and racing is just another activity to experience in the high plains." curves along with hills for big motorcycle jumps and smaller jumps. Two regional motocross competitions are scheduled each year at Powder Basin, with one staged in early May and the other in late August. "We are affiliated with the High Plains Motocross Association, which features riders from Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska who earn points each weekend during a season that runs from April through August," says Randy Stahla, president of Powder Basin Motocross Track. "At our two races in Gillette, we schedule several competitive divisions, with riders starting out as young as 4 years old and going all the way up to the expert class." Stahla says 250-400 bikers compete in Gillette at each of the two annual races, with 10-40 motorcycles registered in each division. He adds that motocross racing often seems to be a family sport, with generation after generation getting involved. One example is Stahla himself, who has been in motocross for 30 years and now watches his 16-year-old and 6-year-old sons compete. "Motocross is a big deal in Gillette � in fact, all racing is a big deal here, whether it's cars or motorcycles," he says. "People in Wyoming like the outdoors, and racing is just another activity to experience in the high plains.".

Unparalleled facilities, a dedicated coaching staff and talented swimmers have helped lead the Gillette Swim Team to 15 consecutive state championships. "We have a really nice facility here, and we don't ever really stop practicing," says Phil Rehard, GST head coach for the past eight years and the 2009 Wyoming Swimming Coach of the Year. The club program has approximately 200 registered participants, with a staff Swimming I SToRy By bETSy WIllIAMS of seven to eight assistant coaches, Rehard says, and swimmers are able to train and practice year-round, thanks to the well-equipped Campbell County School District Aquatic Center. The center features the state's only 50-meter pool, Rehard says, and a firstclass weight room, with an outdoor portable pool that is erected during the summer months. "The building opened in 1982, and we had people on the school board who pushed it through so that now we have this awesome aquatic center," he says.

"We run a swim program through our school where every student in grades one through 12 comes for a 10-day period of swimming lessons," Rehard says. "Our program sees every kid in our school and our community from the time they enter first grade until graduation, so we have the opportunity to recruit every kid in our system to be on our swim teams." This exposure to an active lifestyle also leads to healthier students, and the system has made a commitment toward that as well, with a healthy schools coordinator who oversees nutrition and physical activity. "It's a real bonus for us to have him," Rehard says of the coordinator. "We have one of the best programs like this in the country. The hard work of our coaching staff is integral, and we're fortunate to have the money to pay enough coaches to keep the ratio between swimmers and coaches low. We also appreciate the great support of the parents." Community recreation takes front and center this year with the opening of the new Campbell County Recreation Center. The Campbell County Parks and Recreation Department and the Campbell County School District joined hands in creating a facility that combines a full-service recreation center with a multi-use competitive sports and training facility. The $55 million center features lap and leisure pools, two water slides, five tennis courts, three basketball courts, a 200-meter track and a 42-foot climbing tower resembling aspects of the Devils Tower National Monument, plus a spectator venue for organized sports, exercise rooms and babysitting areas. The rock theme is used throughout the aquatic area.

When the subject of dormitories came up a while back, some wondered if the college would have any interest from students. Similar questions were posed regarding the interest in new fields of study and even adding sports teams. And the answer, every time, has been a resounding `yes.' "In August 2009, we had the grand opening of our first student-housing village, which is four buildings with 100 beds in total," says Dr. Paul Young, executive dean. "We had it filled, and even a waiting list, before construction was finished." In addition to students, the buildings also house some faculty members so that it's a true living/learning community, and a model for future growth as part of a campus master plan that calls for an eventual 500 beds. "Our first hurdle was to fill it, and it was really the first project in a set of baby steps for us as we work to become a residential college," Young says. "Now we have students and faculty living there, holding study sessions and other academic activities. It's been more successful than we could have imagined." Across campus, the new $40 million Technological Education Center has opened, giving faculty 96,000 square feet of teaching space for the college's various industrial Gillette college's new resident student village features suite-style rooms that accommodate three to seven people.

"We've got a 2,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art kitchen like you'd see on `Iron Chef,'" says Young. "It even has extras like videoconferencing cameras that can zero in on the prep area so we can talk to other colleges while we have chefs demonstrating techniques for our students." The center will be home not only to Gillette College students, but also to an academy for high school students in the area. In that capacity, it joins the successful energy and hospitality-related academies already giving local and regional students a leg up on their careers while they finish high school. "We're very excited about being able to widen the horizon for these young people," Young says. "These academies prepare them for jobs here in Gillette, or in the entertainment and restaurant industry in Jackson Hole, even on cruise ships ... the sky's really the limit." For now, though, Young says he's content to catch his breath and (briefly) let the dust settle. "We've gone from 20 acres and one main building two years ago to four buildings on 90 acres now," he says. "We've got new sports teams like men's and women's basketball, and a whole lot of excited students. But don't get too used to anything around here, because we'll be changing it all around again before long."

Gillette and Campbell County have always been very supportive of fire and police efforts, and that's translated into departments that are well trained and have the necessary equipment to deal with everyday concerns as well as major emergencies, should they arise. "We are finishing a replacement fire station in Wright, and then beginning another one in the CAM-PLEX area," says Don Huber, chief of the Campbell County Fire Department. "Those are replacing ones that are in other places where we don't have as many people now. We're able to look at how the town, and the county, have grown, and then 34 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m W put in new stations so we're near the most-populated areas." The department operates 10 fire stations and a training center, and covers almost 5,000 square miles of territory, Huber says. Its combination of staff and volunteer firefighters also are heavily engaged in community safety programs, which include everything from business emergency preparedness to fire safety for schoolchildren, says Ron Smith, training chief. "We do industrial training for industries, because many of them are 40 or 50 miles out of town and it's a long time before help can get to them," Smith says. "We also work with mine rescue teams, and go into all the elementary schools with a basic fire-safety program. We know that works, because we have had fires where the children knew what to do through that training." Over at the police station, the focus these days is on a $1.5 million communications system that includes new towers and portable radios that will greatly enhance officers' ability to network, says Richard Adriaens, former chief of the Gillette Police Department. "The state system does a good job of providing mobile and car radio coverage, but we had significant lapses in coverage in some of our larger buildings," Adriaens says. "These towers will give us outstanding coverage, and these new radios allow us to utilize both 800-megahertz and VHF frequencies, which means that we'll have good communications both in buildings and across the wide-open and mountainous spaces here � it's the best of both worlds." Both Adriaens and Huber credit the community for supporting, financially and otherwise, all of their safety and preparedness programs. "All the governments here, and the community, really back what we do," Adriaens says. "This new radio system alone puts us in good shape for the next 10, 20 years. We're going to be ready to meet all the demand created as the city grows, and that says good things about how supportive and appreciative our town is for what we do." the campbell county fire Department provides fire, rescue and hazardous materials services for 4,716 square miles of northeastern Wyoming, GiLLette 35 RodEo GIllETTE'S CAM-plEx ROpES NATIONAl ROdEO COMpETITIONS, CONvENTIONS ANd pERFORMANCES SToRy By bETSy WIllIAMS | PHoToGRAPHy By bRIAN McCORd Not our First A senior Barrell Racing at the Jesus Little Levi Rodeo at the camplex Wrangler Arena showcases teens age 14-17. s the West's premier multi-event facility, Gillette's CAM-PLEX is no stranger to national and international conventions, regional competitions and local events. "We host close to 400 events that draw about 350,000 people," Dan Barks, general manager, says of the 1,100-acre complex. "The economic impact on the community of this facility is more than $18 million annually." Both Airstream and American Coach RV Rallies will hold annual meetings at the facility this year, drawing close to 2,000 RVs and more than 3,000 people, while the North American Dog Agility trials in the spring and fall will culminate with the championship round slated in September. The facility's 35 employees take these and the many other concerts, banquets, trade shows, performances and equestrian events in stride. But when it's time to host the event billed as "the world's largest rodeo" � the National High School Finals Rodeo � the community steps in to provide a Gillette welcome as big as the West. With more than 6,000 high school contestants and families from 41 states, Canada and Australia descending upon Gillette in periodic years for the coveted 10-day event, it takes months of coordination to ensure that everything runs smoothly. "The National High School Finals Rodeo occupies the community and CAM-PLEX life for quite some time," Barks says. "Our staff devotes more than a year to get ready for this, and we work with about 900 volunteers. The community supports this very well." "This is not our first rodeo," says Rex Brown, marketing manager. "We've held this rodeo 36 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m GiLLette 37 38 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m What's Online Go to imagesgillette.com to learn about Gillette College's rodeo team. more than any other community has ever held it, and this is our eighth round." Fortunately, the commitment for this competitive event is for two years at each location, so the CAM-PLEX will host the championship beginning the third week in July 2010 and 2011. "In addition to the people who come here, we also have to house more than 1,700 horses on 60 acres of horse stalls and 1,200 RVs on up to 180 acres of our RV park grounds," Barks says. "About 833 hotel rooms are booked by the people who don't have RVs. Most people stay about eight days. This one event brings in more than $5 million in economic impact to Gillette." One indoor and three outdoor arenas serve as venues for the 1,500 competitors as they participate in rodeo competitions, a beauty pageant, volleyball tournament, a scholarship fundraising auction and nightly evening dances. Ten concessionaires provide food, and a major trade show in the Wyoming Center features all types of western attire, saddles, ropes, jewelry and gifts. The 122,000-square-foot Wyoming Center recently celebrated its first anniversary, and has been in constant use. Barks says that although no capital expansion projects are on the board at the current time, he and his staff will be busier than ever. "We have seven separate indoor buildings with 400,000 square feet of space, and many times we'll have five or six events going on daily," he says. "Our focus is to keep the facilities we have booked and busy." children practice steer roping at the Jesus Little Levi Rodeo at the Wrangler Arena. GiLLette 39 Business powered COAl MINING OpERATIONS CONTINUE TO FUEl GIllETTE'S ENERGy ECONOMy p 40 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m Powder River Basin co. coal plant in Gillette BRIAN M c CoRd GiLLette 41 Business SToRy By JOE MORRIS oal production is big business for Gillette and Campbell County, and with new technologies for both extraction and use, the industry will continue to be a major player in the economic development of the region for years to come. One-fifth of all coal production in the United States originates in the Powder River Basin, which produces a lowsulfur, low-ash coal that is highly prized for its ability to comply with the Clean Air Act. Peabody Energy operates here and has long and deep ties to the Gillette economy. Peabody has three mines in the area: North Antelope Rochelle, the largest and most productive mine in North America, shipped 97.5 million tons of compliance coal in 2008, and has produced more than 1 billion tons since the mine opened; the Caballo Mine, which shipped 31.2 million tons of coal in 2008; and the Rawhide Mine, which offered up 18.4 million tons that same year. All of Peabody's mines are known for industry-leading safety and reclamation practices, which include land-restoration projects throughout the basin. In 2008, Rio Tinto Energy America (now Cloud Peak Energy) was the second-largest coal producer in the country; combined, its four mines in the basin control approximately 2.5 billion tons of recoverable coal. Similar to that from Peabody's mines, its recoverable coal Powder River coal co./Peabody energy corp. C is sought after for its low environmental impact when burned. These major players and others in the industry continue to dominate the state's economic development landscape, and also play a huge role in their local areas as well, says Marion Loomis, executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association. "Even though there has been a drop in demand for Powder River Basin coal due to the economy, the industry has managed to keep all of its employees, and even increase those numbers," Loomis says. "That's good news for places like Campbell County." Coal producers continue working on more efficient methods of extraction, as well as funneling money into research on clean-burn facilities while also restoring land in and around mining sites. These efforts broaden their role in the local economy, and will continue to do so as the industry evolves and changes its basic practices going forward. "You're always looking for more efficient ways to operate, and things like carbon capture and sequestration continue to be a trend that we watch," Loomis says. "We also stay on top of land-use issues and restoration projects. We're going to continue to produce a lot of coal out of Wyoming, because even with new regulations and changes coal is going to continue to be a part of this nation's electricity mix and a major economic engine for the state and especially Campbell County." 42 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m GiLLette 43 Business Biz Briefs Businesses � Both LARGe AnD smALL � thAt heLP Define GiLLette's economic cLimAte scorecard bUSINESS AT A GlANCE $60,041 Gross income from farming, ranching ($1,000) $12,327 Retail sales per capita $53,465 Accommodations and foodservices sales ($1,000) 3,683 Total number of firms source: u.s.

It joins another new effort, ChamberMail, which will target new residents through a brochure containing advertising and promotions for newcomers. The chamber is offering a trip to China in the fall as part of a campaign. And then there's the ChamberPAK, a collection of fliers and other materials that is distributed monthly to promote businesses, sales and other special events. "We have a lot of programs here, but we also are always adding to our community outreach," Simon says. "We want the community as well as the businesses to be aware of what we have here, and to have all the information that's available about what's in their own community. When people investigate and explore Gillette, they tend to stay here, and spend here." In addition to these efforts, the 600-member chamber also maintains a healthy roster of networking and education events for its members, working hard to make these activities as unique and informative as possible. The organization also promotes advocacy at the local, state and federal levels, keeping tabs on government programs and initiatives that will affect the local business community, and getting the word out when necessary. In the end, it's all about effective communication, Simon says.

The market, which operates on Saturdays from early August through the first frost, is a great way for residents to connect with farmers in Campbell County and the surrounding area. Everything from locally grown vegetables and poultry W products to grass-fed beef is available, and the growing national trend of buying local produce and products has led to a search for new digs, says Lori Bates, horticulture program coordinator for the Campbell County Cooperative Extension Office. "Our master gardeners are in the process of growing the market, so we are looking at several new sites in and around Gillette that would offer more space and also keep a park-like setting," Bates says. "We have a lot of plans and a lot of ideas to make sure that we have a bigger, better market for 2010 and beyond." The market's current downtown location had room for only a dozen or so vendors; as the market's popularity has grown, so has the number of farmers and ranchers looking to take part. This growth, along with the rise of the extension's master-gardener program, means a few changes, but also good things for the market going forward. "Our master gardeners go through a 54 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m program of the University of Wyoming that's done at the extension office," Bates says. "They have a 40-hour course, and then they do 40 hours of volunteer work. Their main purpose is to help educate the public on horticultural products, to provide a proper education on the foods that are grown in the area." Couple that with ongoing promotional efforts from the Wyoming Farmers Marketing Association, of which the Gillette operation has been a member for the last decade, and it's easy to see how the market is expanding in size and scope. "In the past we have had farmers with vegetables, fresh eggs, beef, even some craft items," Bates says. "We want it to be all local sellers, but we get some in from the surrounding counties as well. One of the changes the master gardeners are working on is defining our market and the growing area that it will cover, so people will know exactly where everything is coming from." Even when it was just starting out, the market was a popular feature in downtown Gillette. With a new location and stronger grower participation, Bates predicts a very bright future for local foodies. "During the season we have all kinds of things there," she says. "People really like it, and with more room and some other improvements it will continue to be very popular." � Joe Morris GiLLette 55 56 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m Health & Wellness Growing, But No Pains cAmPBeLL county memoRiAL hosPitAL eXPAnDs fAciLities, seRvices illette residents know that health care is a priority in the region -- they can see it coming out of the ground at Campbell County Memorial Hospital. The hospital, which serves Gillette and northeastern Wyoming, is in Phase One of a three-phase expansion and renovation project that ultimately will include 137,000 square feet of new construction, an expanded emergency room, new technology and a new 209space parking garage with a covered walkway leading to the hospital. "People are pleased, but they're used to seeing a lot of construction because we're growing so rapidly around here," says Robert Morasko, chief executive officer. "We'll be doing a lot of things after this is over, such as renovating and remodeling patient rooms on an ongoing basis, but this is setting the stage for us for at least the next 10 to 20 years. The community is very excited, and so are we." The project was planned with an eye to the future. The new three-level addition will be constructed with an unfinished third floor and be capable of supporting three additional levels. Phase One includes the parking garage and covered walkway � both expected to be completed in October. The new construction is Phase Two. Plans call for a ground level to house administrative offices ranging from human resources to community relations. Those offices are currently located throughout the facility. The first floor will be an inpatient and outpatient surgery center with three equipped operating rooms. The second level will be unfinished, with future plans for a 36-bed medical/surgical unit. A helipad will be constructed on the existing ambulance bay. Phase Three is the renovation of the existing facility and will include walk-in clinic, retail pharmacy and additional upgrades. The total project cost is estimated G campbell county memorial hospital at $65 million. "We were rated A-minus by S&P for the bond financing, which we were very happy about," Morasko says. "But the expansion is just one part of all that we're looking to do here. We're also going to take part of our existing space and turn that into a physician clinic because we've been recruiting so successfully that we've run out of space. And we've also remodeled our lab space and renovated and expanded our emergency room, so we're doing a lot of rehabbing even as we're into all this new construction." Taking the ER from eight to 16 beds will ease traffic there, but the hospital has also spun out several community clinics in an effort to treat patients away from the main facility as well. The hospital also contributed $2.5 million to Hospice Hospitality House, a project of the Campbell County Healthcare Foundation.

Space Cadets chALLenGeR LeARninG centeR soon to fLy in GiLLette rom the tragic loss of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 rose a dream of a better future led by welleducated scientists, and Gillette is poised to be home to the latest physical showcase for that vision. Begun by families of the lost crewmembers, there now are more than 50 Challenger Learning Centers around the world. The centers focus on science education and critical thinking, weaving classroom efforts with simulated missions on earth and in space that require hands-on techniques for problem solving. Discussion about bringing a Challenger center to Gillette began a few years ago, but recent capital donations have enabled planning to build the facility to begin in earnest, says Brian Ewenson, an aerospace education consultant who ran a center in Tucson and is serving as interim director for the facility. "Gillette's board has gotten a lot of companies involved, as well as most of the civic-service organizations in town," Ewenson says. "A center is a great fit here because it's designed to expose kids to math, science and technology, and many of them will go on to have careers as engineers, chemists and geochemists with the city and with the mining companies around here." By January 2010, the center's supporters had $1 million in pledges, a number that allows for both the physical work to begin and that also indicates to corporate benefactors that F the center will become a reality, motivating them to pitch in as well. At the same time, the Campbell County Public Land Board has donated five acres at the CAM-PLEX for the 300,000-square-foot center, and Schutz Foss Architects has drawn up the plans. For many of those involved, this has been a long time in coming. "There have been a lot of ups and downs over the past eight years as people here have worked for this," Ewenson says. "A lot of people said it wouldn't happen, but they have great belief and vision here. Nello and Rollo Williams, who teach here and created Einstein's Adventurarium and the Campbell County Public School Planetarium, had the vision, and got others on board. They said the energy capital of the world needs this kind of building, so that homegrown talent could fill local positions." The center will focus primarily on elementary-school students, so those scientists of the future won't be coming back from college for 15 years or so. But once the center opens in late 2011 or early 2012, there will be a few people waiting patiently for some spectacular results, and even looking skyward. "Wyoming is one of two states that has yet to produce an astronaut for NASA, so that could well be a bonus in the end," Ewenson says. � Joe Morris GiLLette ANToNy BoSHIER 59 60 i m AG e s G i L L e t t e . c o m Sports & Recreation Ride `Em, Pronghorns GiLLette coLLeGe's RoDeo teAm RAnKs hiGh in nAtion ost college student-athletes play sports such as baseball, basketball, volleyball or soccer. At Gillette College, 40 students make up the rodeo team. Gillette established the sport during the 2007-2008 school year, and the Gillette Pronghorns' men's and women's rodeo teams were both ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 20092010. The Pronghorns are coached by Will LaDuke and compete against schools such as the University of Wyoming, Sheridan College, Eastern Wyoming College, Casper College and Colorado State University. "There are a lot of pronghorn antelope around Gillette, and since they are one of the fastest animals on earth, we thought it would be a good sports mascot for our college," says Gillette College President Paul Young. Young says the 20 men and 20 women drive to all rodeo events, hauling their horses by trailer. "Each competition is a three-day weekend for those kids, starting on Friday afternoon, and they aren't done until Sunday afternoon," he says. "It's like a pro rodeo, with shows at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday that feature bull riding, steer wrestling, goat tying and barrel racing." Wyoming, and especially the Campbell County region, is home to some of the biggest and best rough-stock providers in the United States, and several supply the meanest bulls and fastest goats for rodeo competitions. As a favor to Gillette M College, Young says Burch Rodeo Co. in Rozet allows the Pronghorns team to use their rough stock for practice. As for practice sites, students mostly use the CAM-PLEX and other smaller local arenas. For now, Gillette College has never been the home team at a rodeo competition � they are always the away team. "College rodeos are pretty well set � some other college would have to give up a rodeo for us to host one, and that hasn't happened yet," Young says. "We're looking forward to the day when we build our own arena on campus to start hosting competitions." Meanwhile, a year after introducing rodeo at Gillette College, a cross-country and track and field program was added to the Pronghorns athletics department for 2008-2009. "Our runners are already doing well because they train in the high altitude of Gillette, then excel against opponents who train at sea level," Young says. And for the 2009-2010 school year, men's and women's basketball debuted on the Gillette campus. "We are finished adding sports for awhile," Young says. "Our biggest problem is that we are limited by facilities, and don't even have a fieldhouse yet.

Today, more than two dozen sculptures are exhibited along Gillette's busiest district. The sculptures are on display from June to the following June, and are placed on permanent exhibit if sold. The purchases are made by companies or individuals as a public donation, with the sculptures then becoming property of the city so they can be permanently on exhibit. The mission of the Mayor's Art Council is "to create a more visually pleasing environment and expand the opportunities for residents and visitors to experience quality works of art in public places." Several local businesses donate their services to support this mission.

Best dirt bike video on you tube!!!

This has become amusing.
As someone who avidly rides a MTB and a dirt bike, I often feel like we all need to sit down and sing Kumbaya.
For crissakes, we all just want to get dirty, amiright??
Trail closures here in the PNW are a tragedy for OHVs, and the one area that is near me (Tahuya) is open to hikers, horses, rock crawlin' rigs, pedal bikes and motorbikes. Different users enjoy different sections of the area. There has never been any real conflict that I know of. That being said, the mountain bike community is better organized, has bigger numbers, and generally "plays nicer" with government entities that control land use. So, local MTB groups have gotten some great new riding areas to enjoy, while dirt bikers have been losing trails for years. It sucks, but the truth is, it is our own fault. Dirt bikers are rebellious, solitary creatures who want to ride and be left alone, and we didn't figure out until recently that we need to actually get involved in the planning stages of local land use issues. Cyclists figured that out, and they now have city park land devoted to their sport.
To FARV, who has flamed up this thread with generalizations about off-road motorcyclists, you're not making any friends on this site. Too bad, because this is the best site there is, and you're going to need the help of these FFs if you actually buy that motorcycle.

Ostrich Farm and HATO Caves Combo Adventure
- Details
Get acquainted with the biggest birds on Earth at an ostrich farm before exploring Hato Caves with this combo tour from Willemstad. This educational and interactive half-day tour with a local guide gives you the unique opportunity to feed an ostrich with your bare hands! Then it's on to the Hato Caves, where you'll discover unique formations formed thousands of years ago. Learn about the wildlife and history of Curacao on this family-friendly adventure!
After pickup from your hotel in Willemstad, drive to an ostrich farm, where you'll learn about ostrich development – from egg to adult bird! Once at the farm on Curacao, board a safari Jeep with an expert guide who will narrate fascinating tidbits about the ostrich as you discover more about this wonderful reptile-like creature.
Learn the difference between the black- and gray-colored birds, the reddish flame on their beaks, how fast they can run and how far they can see. After hand-feeding an ostrich, the world's largest bird, you may even get the chance to ride one!
After your safari tour, head to the Hato Caves, located on the north side of Curacao, for a 45-minute guided expedition along a paved and illuminated path. Discover the natural wonders inside the caves, where your guide will explain the intriguing geological process of their beautiful limestone formations, created more than 200,000 years ago when the caves emerged from the sea. As you explore the magnificent site, keep an eye out for the iguanas and the colony of seldom-seen long-nose bats that inhabit the caverns. Your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.

HIDALGO, TEXAS-- Highly regarded ESPN.com boxing columnist, Dan Rafael, just released his current rankings for Boxing's best POUND-FOR-POUND fighters. Close to the top of the list is Mexico City's, RAFAEL MARQUEZ, coming in at #4.
Marquez, the WBC World Super Bantamweight Champion, will be defending his coveted title against former two-time World Champion, Israel Vazquez, on Saturday, August 4th at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas. The highly anticipated rematch between the two, entitled "La Venganza," will headline a seven bout card that begins at 6:30 pm.
In his ESPN.com column today, Dan Rafael justified his #4 ranking of Marquez. "He's won titles in two divisions, is undefeated for almost seven years, makes excellent fights and knocks guys out," Rafael pointed out. "He's about to face his most dangerous opponent, former champ Israel Vasquez, in a rematch of their outstanding March fight. What more can you ask?"
According to co-promoter, Gary Shaw, Marquez being ranked as 4th best fighter in any weight division (pound-for-pound), is further proof that the Rio Grande Valley will be seeing one of Boxing's best on August 4th.
"For anyone who doesn't understand the magnitude of who Rafael Marquez is, this says it all," Shaw said of Marquez' #4 pound-for-pound ranking.
"The list of Boxing's best fighters starts with Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Winky Wright and then Rafael Marquez. That's pretty impressive company. And when you consider Boxing stars like Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Marco Antonio Barrera, Ricky Hatton, Jermain Taylor and Oscar De La Hoya are all rated below him, you fully comprehend the status of Rafael Marquez."
"No question - on August 4th, the fight fans around the country and in South Texas will get a chance to see one of the true super stars in sport battling another great fighter- Israel Vazquez."
Rafael: pound-for-pound rankings
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (38-0, 24 KOs)
2. Manny Pacquiao (44-3-2, 34 KOs)
3. Winky Wright (51-3-1, 25 KOs)
4. Rafael Marquez (37-3, 33 KOs)
