If you have no experience driving your 4×4 ‘ off-road’ in difficult or rough terrain and want to gain knowledge and experience in a friendly\, knowledgeable\, and safe environment\, this is the event for you. \nThese monthly runs cover beginner trails and light intermediate trails. Generally\, there will be two groups leading runs: one for new drivers and another for intermediate drivers. All the usual trails are stock 4×4 accessible\, although because 4x4s vary so much in clearance\, length\, and angles\, some may involve dents and scrapes for some vehicles. Run leaders will assess your rigs before starting out to ensure the trails you run are suitable for what you want to do and are comfortable with. \nMeetup at 9:30 in the parking lot of the Weaver Creek Spawning Channel (17780 Morris Valley Rd\, Agassiz\, BC V0M 1A1) for introductions\, air-down\, and safety talk before heading out for Hale Creek\, and other potential destinations such as Skwellepil Creek\, Francis Lake\, Sunrise Lake\, or North Chehalis. Depending on the turnout\, we may break into smaller groups with a choice of destinations. \n\nParticipants may leave the group any time they like\, but please be sure to inform one of the run leaders before you do. Expect the group to return to the hatchery by around 4:00 PM. \nOne of the goals of these runs is to help you determine what equipment\, tools\, and accessories you need; nobody should feel they aren’t “properly equipped” to attend. We recommend\, but do not require\, that you have the following: \n\nSuitable tires\, with good tread\nFull-size spare and jack for your vehicle\nTire gauge\, compressor\, and plug kit\nWork gloves\nCommon sense\nand\, most importantly\, bring a good attitude.\n\nCommunications (optional\, but recommended): \n\nLMR 4WDABC channel 2 (Lower Mainland)\nHam 146.460MHz (ham qualification and callsign required)\nFRS/GMRS channel 4\, privacy code 0 (or off)\nCB channel 4\n(see 4wdabc.ca/communications)\n\nDuring these runs\, our members and volunteers will clean up these sites\, clear brush\, repair structures\, and remove garbage.

Please follow the directions from RSTBC. We’re told that the ranch put up a gate to stop logging traffic from rushing through\, and now the logging company is cutting a new road bypassing the ranch\, so directions may be updated later. \nThose wishing to convoy up can meet Cameron at the Hope Starbucks at 8:00 AM. \nWe’ll need pickups and trailers for hauling out the trash. Garbage bags and some tools will be provided\, but people should also bring their own shovels\, pickers\, power landscaping tools (weedeaters\, etc.) and so on. \nLimited camping is available on-site for those wishing to go up the day before or stay afterward. \nThose hauling the debris out can take it to their local landfill/transfer station and will be reimbursed. Receipts and photos must be submitted to our Volunteer Reporting Form and emailed to Brian Pratt. \nNahatlatch site\, June 2025.
