We are a non-profit, family oriented club dedicated to promoting the sport of four-wheeling on our public lands. We strive to keep existing roads and trails open for all off-highway motorized recreation and to enjoy and protect our natural and cultural resources in the pursuit and enjoyment of the outdoors and of back-country trail exploration. We attempt to educate the public while projecting a positive image of off-highway motorized recreation in a safe and responsible manner and by adhering to the tenets of the Tread LIghtly philosophy. Whatever we take into the back-country we take out. Leave No Trace. On club outings members and guests are helped if they have vehicle problems and no one is ever left stranded on a run. As enjoyable as it may be, we do not recommend traveling alone in the desert--safety in numbers! We have an adopted trail, the Sleeping Princess, in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management. It is a challenging trail, not recommended for stock rigs. The club is responsible for the biannual maintenance of the trail, removing any trash or debris we may find - it is best to navigate this trail with at least three vehicles--no more than fifteen. Vehicle breakage and vehicle damage is possible.

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS ARE:

Must own a four-wheel drive vehicle. Must attend two runs and two meetings within a one year period. Must fill out an application for membership. Must pay $40.00 annually for dues (on a quarterly pro-rated basis) which may be subject to change--a portion going to the Arizona State Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs and a portion of that to the United Four Wheel Drive Associations. We are members of, and donate to, the BlueRibbon Coalition, strong advocates of multiple use on our public lands. Now that you know "what we're all about," come and join us--we do have fun--and so will you!

MEETINGS

WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT

Meetings are always on the third Tuesday of the month--with the exception of July and August, when, due to the extreme heat, the
club "goes dark." Meeting location is at the Bullhead City, Elk's Lodge, Emerald Ave. and Hancock Rd. 6:30 p.m. Meetings last approximately an hour to an hour and a half, with many of us dining "Dutch" at a local restaurant afterward. Guests are always
welcome. Please consider joining us. We'll put you to work or on a committee immediately! That's what happened to the Haaks in November 2006 and they're still with us - both are great sports, and both work hard for continued access on our public lands.
