Keeping Respect in Kentucky Coal Mine Land
I have given the better part of the past two years of my life to the non profit group, KY Off-Roaders. This group's mission is to prevent trail riding from becoming a forgotten recreation. In KY, much of the land is rural, dormant coal mines. This group strives to support the economies of trail parks throughout the state by forestry regeneration, clean up days, benefit rides and familiy gatherings. I left home at 15; these members of this group have claimed me as a sibling, and I them.
Last month I donated several hours to collecting items for a live auction to donate to the groups last benefit ride. Over 200 riders participated and with the items we collected for donation, they gave Camp Quality, a camp for kids with cancer, over $2,000.00 for sponsorships allowing kids to attend the camp for free next year.
The simple Facebook group page runs 24/7 assisting members in finding great trails to take their families horseback riding, kayaking, trailing, boating or just a good camping trip in our great state.The Kentucky Off-roaders help other people love Kentucky. They deserve this praise, please.
