Officers are elected in December for a one year term, but can be re-elected if they so desire. The
president appoints a board of directors with the vice-president as chairman of the board. We have one official club run
a month - July and August we go dark - with members volunteering to "trailboss" additional runs at any time. At the December meeting
we hold a random drawing to determine monthly trip leaders for the upcoming year. However, members may pick their month of choice
prior to the drawing letting their decision be known at a club meeting. As soon as possible after a run the trailboss submits
a trip report and photos to the editor for the monthly club newsletter, The Bullsheet.
Have 4x4s! Will travel! The above photo taken at the Sidewinder's Annual Desert Run
at Lake Havasu City - March 2009. Rock
Buggies and well setup rigs tackle this gnarly trail.
As shown below, we volunteer for many cleanups on our Public Lands.In this case,
we helped a rancher. It's sad to report, but we always collect TONS of Trash!!!
"Preserving Our Natural Resources FOR
The Public Instead OF FROM The Public"
Phil White, former B4W member, took this photo on a recent jaunt to Christmas Tree Pass. To get to this extraordinary petroglyph
site, when leaving Laughlin, NV, take Highway 163 west approximately 5 miles. On the right will be a sign for Christmas Tree Pass
(you're not given much notice, so be prepared for a quick right turn). This will put you on a well-maintained dirt road. Go about
two miles and there will be another sign on the left indicating a turnoff and parking area for the glyphs. There is a short hike with
a wash on the right. You will arrive at canyon walls on both sides of the wash, and on these walls you'll find many, many beautiful
petroglyphs. It's well worth a drive in your passenger car.
With special thanks to Andy and Sue Raynor
of Bit's-N-Bytes Computer Center
in Kingman for their help, patience and support
with
my struggles, goofs and naive questions
while building this not-so-easy (for me) website.
You were both terrific. Joan
Above. View from the back side of the arch. This is the largest natural arch in Mohave County with a span of 138 feet and
is located in the Mt. Nutt Wilderness area. Four wheel drive is recommended to reach the parking site. It's a bit of a strenuous hike
and is difficult to locate since it can not be seen from the road. We are aware of three names that all refer to the arch:The Secret Pass Arch; The Hualapai Arch and Big Horn Sheep Arch. Kingman BLM has directions. Best to hike it in cooler weather. Remember
to watch for critters and take plenty to drink.
