It was a Multi Marque event then. Only the Benz's now drive this event, and in any weather. Why? Because we can. Our cars were designed for this type drive, no matter the weather. Destination: Cheaha State Park On Saturday, 23 January at 8:30 am we will meet at Mercedes-Benz of Birmingham to set off on our 12th consecutive challenge to the grip of winter which we have never had to cancel or postpone. Our route will take us down Alabama 25 (The Copperhead), across Logan Martin Dam and up the serpentine Cheaha Road (unnumbered) through Talladega National Forest. I count 187 turns in this 14 mile stretch vs. 216 in 12 miles for the famous “Tail of the Dragon” in TN/NC. I get the same 180-190 turns for that run, so there must be some difference in opinion about what constitutes a turn. The nice thing about Cheaha in winter is that your We should have multiple places to have our sight lines of the road are not obstructed as much picnic lunch.

Florida/ Southwest Alabama. Kristen Paul’s father, Bill Moseley has planned this for years starting on Nine Mile Plaza,US 90 in Pensacola to David’s Catfish in Attala, Al. Since this involves about 100 cars and 150+ people, it might be a challenge to accommodate everyone with proper social distancing at one time inside the restaurant. We can probably arrange carry-out service to the cars. If the traditional event is cancelled, MBCA will still stage an event on this date. We will keep you posted with Nicht Vergessen.

  • 2016-2017 Annual Report
    2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Department continues to find more efficient ways to communicate and con- duct business with our constituents. License purchases, special hunt registrations and park lodge and camping reservations are available through our websites, www.outdooralabama.com and www.alapark.com. In addition, we are communi- cating to more than half a million people through email newsletters and notices. Funds derived from the cap on sales tax discounts were restored to State Parks in FY 2017. These funds have provided much-needed relief in addressing the back- log of park maintenance projects. Park guests totaled just under 5 million this fiscal year. The federal management of red snapper and other reef fish continues to be a highly volatile issue within the fishing community. Our Marine Resources Division is working with federal agencies and Congress to provide more state oversight of this fishery and a longer season for anglers. Snapper Check, which continued for the fourth year, is an important part of this effort. The State Lands Division has administered the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) on behalf of the State of Alabama since its beginning in 2005. During the life of this program, which closed this year, State Lands administered 49 grants for over $58 million funding various coastal project activities supporting Mobile and Baldwin counties. Participation in the state’s Game Check system for the recording and reporting of both deer and turkey harvests became mandatory during the 2016/2017 hunting seasons.

  • Trail User Preferences and Motivations to Attend
    TRAIL USER PREFERENCES AND MOTIVATIONS TO ATTEND ALABAMA STATE PARKS by LAUREN CRAIN C. HOBSON BRYAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR AMANDA ESPY-BROWN MICHAEL STEINBERG A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geography in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright Lauren Crain 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Alabama‟s state parks are important centers for outdoor recreation, and their trail systems are often key attractions for visitors. Therefore, enhancing the outdoor recreation experience through improved trail management can potentially increase park usage. The purpose of this study was to determine trail users‟ preferences and needs so that recreational managers can better use and allocate resources in the context of economic development to the state. A central research hypothesis was that level of expertise and involvement, i.e., recreational specialization, of trail users predicts trail preferences and behavior. Accordingly, a secondary hypothesis was that the employment of a designated trail ranking system in state parks, based on a standardized level of difficulty, would appeal to specialized users. Trail users‟ preferences and motivations to attend Alabama state parks were examined using an online survey via Qualtrics software. Over 1,000 surveys were taken by distribution of the survey link through hiking and biking organizations‟ listservs and Facebook pages, the homepage of Alabama State Parks, and through personal email correspondence. After analysis of survey responses, an objective of this study was to make recommendations to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources on how to cater to experienced trail users, since such recreationists tend toward greater expenditures of time and resources than the general park user.
