That's right, once again, I have taken it upon myself to tell you how to spend your money. Membership has an annual fee of $60, and grants you discounts when utilizing their OHV recreational areas (wheeling and camping). Typically, you will make your membership money back during your second or third visit to one of their parks during a year. If you're a high roller like Guilbeaux, then you can spring for a Lifetime Membership at a cost of $1000. This will pay for itself in a short 16+ years! More importantly, your support helps the only organization I know of in Texas that is actively trying to open places for you to wheel, that will never be closed by a land owner or government policies (The Slabs, anyone?). Best of all, TMTC is a 501(c)3 entity, so any contributions are fully tax deductible.

(EDRA)
EDRA is a 3,400 acre property located in west Texas. The economy in this part of State has been sustained by ranching and the oil/gas business. The land still represents the untamed and primitive values of the old west. When the property is completely developed, it will provide a wide range of motorized trails supporting all levels of challenges. EDRA is located in western Crockett County, approximately 30 miles southwest of Ozona. Ozona is 205 miles northwest of San Antonio along Interstate 10; and around 100 miles south of San Angelo and 150 miles south of Midland and Odessa, Texas.
