*RECON: Your Gateway to Better Trail Access* Since 1977, the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC (4WDABC) has been championing Public Access to Public Land. A persistent challenge for off-roaders is dealing with gates: some are legal and necessary, while others are questionable—installed or locked without authority, or no longer serving their purpose. That’s where RECON comes in. Originally called GateBuddy, RECON empowers 4WD enthusiasts to crowdsource critical data about gates and other trail restrictions. With RECON, you can: • *Report obstacles:* Flag gates, rockslides, manned gatehouses, and other access issues. • *Track updates:* Receive prompts to update gate statuses in real-time (e.g., open, locked, unlocked). • *Analyze patterns:* Help determine gate legitimacy and usage trends. • *Record tracks:* Save your trails for personal use or share them with others. *Exclusive Features for 4WDABC Members:* • Access shared tracks and trail ratings. • Get notifications when near shared trails. • More premium features coming soon! Join us in creating a reliable resource to ensure responsible and informed trail access. For support and updates, visit our Facebook group: [facebook.com/groups/4wdabcrecon](https://facebook.com/groups/4wdabcrecon). *Explore smarter. Drive farther. RECON.*
