Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, July 13, 2011 7C Explore the wagon tracks of pioneers As early as the 1840s, farm- ers and gold seekers loaded their possessions, along with a few women, children, dogs and cats, in covered wagons and began what would be- come an arduous journey to- ward the Pacific Ocean. The trickle of emigrants begin- ning in 1841 would turn into hordes of dreamers after the discovery of gold in California in 1848. The overland emi- grant trek would take five to six months crossing moun- tains, deserts, rivers and some of the most hostile coun- try in the world. Now, four-wheel drive own- ers, including owners of sport utility vehicles (SUVs), can relive the gold rush era by traveling a 200-mile stretch of the 1849 wagon route used by thousands of emigrants from Imlay, Nev., to Surprise Val- ley, Calif., marveling at such sights as the beautiful Black Rock Desert, the majestic High Rock Canyon, Double Hot Springs and Soldiers Meadow. All of these sights as well as stories from early emigrant diaries will spring to life for participants on the 17th annu- al Lassen-Applegate Trail Ride, Friday, July 15, through Monday, July 18. This excit- ing journey begins near Imlay and follows the same wagon tracks used by Peter Lassen in 1849. "For me, this trail is special and as a historian, I get to re- live the past by thinking of John C. Fremont, Kit Carson and Thomas 'Brokenhand' Fitzpatrick and many other brave men and women as they made this dangerous trip from small towns throughout the Midwest," said Warner Anderson, trail boss from the High Rock Trekkers four- wheel drive club. Owners of four-wheel drive vehicles have the opportunity to retrace the route of emigrants during the gold rush. Photo submitted Anderson said the trip is open to all four-wheel drive enthusiasts and their fami- lies. It is not a difficult route, but there are a few places where four-wheel drive will be required Or where trail committee instructions must be followed. "The emigrants wrote in their diaries such good de- scriptions of their trip that we can identify the majority of key points of interest in the history of this route," Ander- son said. Camping the first night will be at Double Hot Springs, for- mer camping area for all of the pioneer wagon trains, and the second night participants will spend the evening at Stevens Camp, which pro- vides toilets, spring water and possible hot showers. Partici- pants will need to bring their own tents and sleeping bags. Cost for the trip is $275 per adult, $150 for children 7 - 14, and children under 7 are welcome free of charge. The cost includes all meals from breakfast on Saturday through breakfast on Monday. In addition to tents and sleep- ing bags, participants are en- couraged to bring a CB radio, camera, folding chairs, snacks, refreshments and drinking water. This trip is fully insured and operates under a permit from the Bureau of Land Man- agement (BLM). Proceeds from the event help support the California Association of Four-Wheel Drive Clubs' Con- servation and Education Foundation. The trip is limited to the first 25 vehicles on a first-reg- istered, first-served basis.

Q: I am planning to start a business within the next few years that will involve do- mesticated reindeer. I will likely need to import them into California from another state and am wondering what licenses, fees and re- quirements I will need to meet in order to do this. I do not plan to have more than five animals at any time and they will live on my property with me. I will not be using them for anything related to food or human/animal con- sumption. In other words, they will not be hunted or slaughtered. I also want to know what areas are subject to zoning and other limitations. How can I know which geographi- cal areas within Southern California will allow me to keep reindeer? I want to fig- ure out which cities/towns I should look into, in terms of the real estate market, to meet these requirements. --Erica A. A: Reindeer are a restrict- ed species and may not be imported as pets, so you must have a verified use or need. If your plan is to use the animals for exhibition or display purposes, you cannot do so without obtaining a re- stricted species permit (pur- suant to CCR Title 14, section 671). According to Kathi Kline from the California Depart- ment of Fish and Game's Special Permits Unit, the im- portation of any deer to an authorized restricted species facility requires the appli- cant to submit a Cervidae Importation Application for approval by DFG veterinari- an Dr. Pam Swift at the Wildlife Investigations Lab. Zoning issues are not part of the restricted species permit- ting process. It is the appli- cant's/permittee's responsi- bility to comply with all city or county zoning require- ments. Under the Cervidae Impor- tation Application that must be filed, importers seeking authorization to import ap- proved hoofed animal species must verify the ani- mals have been tested and cleared of bovine tuberculo- sis and brucellosis before im- portation. Additional testing prior to importation may be required when there is rea- son to believe other diseases, parasites or other health risks are present. Incidentally, California law also prohibits the impor- tation of reindeer for meat production (aka "deer farm- ing"). Only fallow deer may be possessed for this purpose (California Code of Regula- tions Title 14, section 676). Catching bait fish in a fish trap? Q: Is it against the law to use a small (12-by-24-inch) fish trap on the shoreline of Huntington Beach for the purpose of catching bait fish (smelt and anchovies)? I've seen a lot of fisherman using them but was told by a kayak shop that they are illegal to use and could result in a hefty fine. --Roy B. A: Using traps to take bait fish south of Point Concep- tion (Santa Barbara County) is not allowed. Generally, hook and line or a dip net not greater than 6 feet in di- ameter are the only methods allowed to take fin fish in the ocean waters south of Point Conception (See CCR Title 14, sections 28.65 through 29.00). Catching crawdads just for fun? Q: Do I have to have a li- cense to take a piece of string and some liver and fish for crawdads for fun? I don't want to keep them. I don't want to eat them. I don't want to use them for bait. I just want to catch them. --Jim M. A: Yes, a fishing license is required even if you don't keep them. It's the same premise as '/catch and re- lease" fishing for trout. Doctor's note for a Disabled Archer Permit? Q: I have recently been ad- vised by my doctor to discon- tinue shooting archery equipment due to my fourth reconstructive shoulder op- eration. As an avid archery hunter, I am really having a hard time with this! When I stopped into my local archery shop, they informed me of a device that locks the draw cycle back on a com- pound bow. What would I need to do to be able to use such a device during archery season? Is there a doctor's note or something that I would need, and if so, what would I do with that note? --Tim S. A: You may qualify for a Disabled Archer Permit if you have written verifica- tion from a physician regard- ing your medical condition (check section 3540) in the 2010-11 Hunting Regulations, available online at dfg.ca.gov/regulations). For more information and the Disabled Archer Permit application, go to: dfg.ca.gov/licensing/pdffiles /fg537.pdf. There is no fee for this permit.
