What we’re about
About The Group
Founded August 23, 2004. We welcome four wheel drive enthusiasts who are interested in 4X4 outings, meeting people with various interests, and exploring Arizona. Our outings are challenging, historic, and just plain fun. A 4x4 automobile and GMRS radio/license are required for group membership. Alcohol is not tolerated on trail runs with this group.
We are specific to 4x4 automobiles and do not accept members with quads, side-by-sides, etc. We try to keep similar types of vehicles running together at similar speeds on the trails. There are other local Meetup groups catering to other types of 4x4 vehicles.
We run trails from easy to moderate. If you are looking to tackle the toughest trails Arizona has to offer, a different group might better suit you.
All of our meetings are on the website or on the trail. If you are looking to socialize at a sports bar or restaurant, this is not the group for you.
Some of our trail runs have limited numbers. Once a trail run is full, a waiting list will be generated. Other trail runs are not limited in size and can range up to 20 or 25 vehicles. Our organizers generally do not let trail runs get any larger than that.
Membership
Those who request to join will be accepted assuming they have a vehicle suitable to this group and understand the need for a GMRS radio/license. Five qustions will be asked when joining. Those questions must be answered fully.
Hold Harmless Agreement
Due to the possible dangers we could encounter on the trail, this group requires a liability release called a Hold Harmless Agreement (HHA). For each event, the HHA will be linked and you'll have to agree to it to participate in the event. A negative reply to the HHA question will result in your removal from the event.
Inactive Member Removal
To save us both some time, please DO NOT request membership to this group if you don't plan to be active in our events. Inactive members will periodically be removed from the group. To remain an active member, you must:
- Attend a trail run at least once per year.
- Visit our web site at least once every six months.
Note: Any member who has not participated in a trail run within the last year or has not visited the group's web site within the last six months will be removed from the member list. This should not be taken as a personal insult, but should be understood as an effort to keep the group free of inactive members. If you receive an e-mail that you have been removed and you want to continue with the group, just head back to the home page and hit "Request to Join" again. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
