CANCELLED: Hale Creek (West Harrison) Maintenance/Newbie Run
2025-02-08 09:30 - 16:00 | Weaver Creek Staging Area, 84FC+JHQ, Kent, BC, Canada
THE FEB. 8 2025 RUN IS CANCELLED DUE TO ADVERSE CONDITIONS
We welcome those who enjoy using their four-wheel-drive vehicle to explore and discover beautiful places. 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.
These 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.
Meetup at 9:30 in the gravel lot at the four-way stop behind the Sasquatch Inn (46001 Lougheed Hwy., Harrison Mills, BC V0M 1L0) for a 10:00 AM rollout. Air down at the Weaver Creek hatchery and head out for Hale Creek, and other potential destinations such as Skwellepil Creek, Francis Lake, Sunrise Lake, or North Chehalis. Depending on the turnout, we’ll probably break into smaller groups with a choice of destinations.

Participants 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 Sasquatch by around 4:00 PM.
One 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:

Suitable tires, with good tread
Full-size spare and jack for your vehicle
Tire gauge, compressor, and plug kit
Work gloves
Common sense
and most importantly, bring a good attitude

Communications (optional, but recommended):

LMR 4WDABC channel 2 (Lower Mainland)
Ham 146.460MHz (ham qualification and callsign required)
FRS/GMRS channel 4, privacy code 0 (or off)
CB channel 4
(see 4wdabc.ca/communications)

During these runs, our members and volunteers will clean up these sites, clear brush, repair structures, and remove garbage. You are welcome to participate.
This is a family-friendly, drug- and alcohol-free event.
Note: run may be rescheduled or cancelled depending on weather and road conditions; please check back here before heading out.

Pend'Orielle Cleanup
2025-04-12 10:30 - 17:00 | Dragonfly Cafe, 413 Railway Ave, Salmo, BC, V0G 1Z0, Canada
Meet at the Dragonfly in Salmo. We’ve scouted the area. We know what needs attention; now it’s time to clean it! Who is in?! It’ll be a fun day. But we do need a truck or two to help carry out the garbage. Is anybody willing to volunteer their vehicle for garbage removal? The Trail landfill has agreed to waive fees for us. I just need the description of your truck and plate number, so they know who to wave through.
Volunteers will need to bring :
– Sturdy gloves! This is the most important part please bring very good gloves
– Rakes and shovels preferably the wide plastic rakes but metal is good to.
– Does anybody have a tarp we can use to cover the garbage on the way to the dump?
– I can bring one of those magnetic sweeper things to pick up nails. ￼
– and I will pick up those thick sturdy garbage bags ￼

If you’re gonna come out, please message me! So that I know who is coming and nobody gets left behind.

Course topics include simple trip planning/preparedness for an afternoon adventure, understanding your vehicle while looking at it in a 360-degree view, trail safety and etiquette, the importance of airing down, trail driving, 4WD systems, and what equipment to carry.
In this day-long class, you will safely learn with our trained instructors in a controlled real-world environment. On-trail skills you’ll learn include how to pick a line, spotting, hill climbing and descent, off-camber (side-hill), and driving in different terrain conditions, to name a few.
The day will conclude with learning important post-trip procedures and airing up before heading home.
By the end of the course, you will gain confidence in yourself and a better understanding of your vehicle, allowing you to head out on your adventures and be safer.
