Who we are:
we are a group of people who enjoy leaving the pavement and enjoying
Arizona's back country roads.
We support all activities that relate to the outdoors. Our main focus is 4x4
related, however we encourage all forms of outdoor activity.
What we do:
We locate places in Arizona that the paved roads stop and the fun
starts. We explore Arizona's back country roads, sight see, explore the various ghost
towns, Indian ruins, and try to have an enjoyable day.
When do we do it:
Whenever there's enough interest from members to get together and
see the more scenic side of Arizona.
What you need to have:
- A 4 wheel drive. Any year, make, or model.
- A licensed driver
- A computer helps, As all our trips are planned online
- The name says Arizona. So being a resident helps, but exceptions may
be made for visitors and others who enjoy the Grand Canyon State.
- Regular maintenance on your rig will help keep you going on the
trail. It's always easier to change parts in the garage than on the trail.
What you don't need:
- Attitude - If your against running a trail with vehicles not in
your same class, keep looking for a club to join..
- Alcohol. A cold one at the end of the trail is fine, but not while
we're driving.
- A super built rig, most all trails we run will either have by-passes
or someone to pull you to the top ;)
- Superior driving skills. If it's your first drive off-road, we'll
help you.
