Lieutenant Seymour and his team of 4 OHV Deputies gave us an extensive tour of Stanislaus County and its OHV

parks/areas. The Frank Raines OHV Park, which is located approximately 16 miles west of Patterson (west side of the

county), is closed from May through October on the request of Cal Fire. This is due to a lack of full time patrol at the park

during the high fire season. The Grantee would like to be able to staff this park year round and may request additional

staff funding in future grant cycles. The Grantee was given 6 CA Exempt stickers for their OHV patrol vehicles that did not

have them. All of the Grantees grant funded OHV vehicles have "OHV Funds at Work" stickers on them.
