Those in attendance included Jim Keeler, Craig Beck, Dave Kotlarski, and Myrtle Railey (who were running the station at the time), as well as Jim Clark, Dave Johnston, Kathy Baker, Carol Barrett, Don Maben, Bill Deaver, Steve Pawling, Clark Woy, Holly Hart, Roni Fortun, Stan Haye, Elayn Briggs, John Butz, and Loretta Pedersen. Topics that day included the operation and leadership of the station, the possibility of opening a bookstore, a Grand Opening ceremony, and which of two organizations to associate with: the Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association or the Southwest Natural and Cultural Heritage Association.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/markanderson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/markanderson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a>The Grand Opening for the new building was held in mid-April with a number of dignitaries and guests present. The Station was dedicated to Mark \u201cMoose\u201d Anderson, an avid off-roader and an early member of the Off-Highway Commission. A plaque to honor him was placed near the flag pole in front of the station and several of his family members were present to speak of his life. It was a fitting tribute, since Mark Anderson served as the first Commissioner on the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Commission and worked successfully in conjunction with many other individuals in the Jawbone area to promote responsible recreational use. His degree in Natural Resource Planning, as well as his motocross racing history, made him uniquely suited for the job and an ideal advocate both for the environment and OHV sports. In addition to his work with the OHV Commission he also ran a part-time business as a motorcycle adventure guide in Baja. Sadly, he suffered a fatal motorcycle accident in Mexico in 1987, but his tireless work with OHV, and his dedication to landscape conservation, is honored each year at the annual Moose Anderson Days volunteer event at Jawbone Station.<\/p><p>By May 10th of that year, a decision had been made as to who to associate with, and a representative of the Southwest Natural and Cultural Heritage Association met with the committee to discuss placing a bookstore in the station. It was decided that they would fund a bookstore opening and, if the monthly gross sales exceeded $500, it would stay open with their blessing. If not, they would withdraw their support. The bookstore opened in late summer and during that first month netted over $800 in sales; a figure which grew with each passing month. In August of 1996, the name of the group was changed from Jawbone Steering Committee to the Friends of Jawbone, and officers were elected. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/ed-walheim-founder\/\">Ed Waldheim<\/a> was elected as president and held the office until his passing in 2019, consecutively being elected for 23 years straight. The name would again be changed on March 9, 1998 when The Friends of Jawbone revived their 501(c)(3) Not for Profit status from the IRS and incorporated as Friends of Jawbone, Inc. Also in 1996, volunteer Myrtle Railey was formally hired as a BLM park ranger to staff the station five days a week.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/mooselogo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/mooselogo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Early in 1997, plans were solidified to host the first annual &#8220;Moose Anderson Days,&#8221; with the event to be held the weekend of April 21-22. During this time, letterhead and the Friends of Jawbone logo (a moose with a motorcycle) were created. The first Moose Anderson Days was a success by all accounts, with 127 volunteers showing up and removing 20 tons of trash from the desert. Each volunteer received a free t-shirt and a free lunch, a tradition which continues today.<\/p><p>In October it was decided that a map of the riding areas surrounding Jawbone Station should be created. In spring of 1998, Alex Smith created the first draft of the map that would become the Friends of Jawbone map, and a grant proposal was submitted. Funding was always an issue, so through the Kern County Board of Supervisors, Friends of Jawbone was able to receive a grant for a map resulting in a grant received in the spring of 1999 for $18,000! In subsequent years FOJ received money from OHV Green Sticker programs and even, once, a grant from Deutch Bank to fund the map production. Even though the maps are a brisk seller, we have always given away far more of them then we have sold and therefore, they are not self-sufficient and require grant funding to print.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1793-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>On July 22, 1997 Mr. Bob, a 100 year old desert tortoise, joined the FOJ family and was housed in a habitat outside of Jawbone Station, where he is still going strong in 2023 at 125 years of age.

In that same month the E. Clampus Vitus organization (a group dedicated to the study and preservation of Western heritage) installed a monument to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawbone.org\/temp\/josie-bishop\/\">Josie Bishop<\/a> near the front gate of the station. Josie is the famed \u201cRadium Queen of the West,\u201d known for her Radium discovery northwest of the station in the 1930s. The Cantil Post office, located in the nearby Jawbone Store, was closed. Soon after, the Honda Proving Ground provided funds for mail boxes to be placed at Jawbone Station, where the mail is still received today. A rare low-point in the year occurred when Jawbone Station was broken into twice, though both times the robbers were arrested soon after the break-in. The resolution proved to be a great way to bring in the new millennium, and a productive first decade of progress therein.
