Hale Creek (West Harrison) Maintenance/Newbie Run
2026-02-14 09:30 - 16:00, 2026-03-14 09:30 - 16:00, 2026-04-11 09:30 - 16:00, 2026-05-09 09:30 - 16:00 | Weaver Creek Staging Area, 84FC+JHQ, Kent, BC, Canada
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 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.

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 hatchery 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. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but please ensure they’re kept under control.
Note: the run may be rescheduled or cancelled depending on weather and road conditions; we strongly recommend RSVPing below so we can contact you in case there are changes, and please check back here before heading out.

2026-04-19 09:00 - 17:00 | Mt. Prevost Rd. Staging Area, Duncan, BC, Mt. Prevost Rd., Duncan, BC, Canada
THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE NEAR DUNCAN, BC.
Meetup is Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 8:30 AM at coordinates 48°50’09.2″N 123°44’33.5″W – turn off at the substation at 6995 Mt. Prevost Rd. and travel approx. 1km up the gravel (click the link, Google Maps can navigate you right to it).
The focus of the second course of this series, “Essentials of Off-Road Recovery,” is to take you through the basics and help make you comfortable recovering your off-road vehicle from various common “stuck” situations.
Course topics include equipment selection and care, assessing a “stuck” while looking at it in a 360-degree view, and hands-on experience in various simple recovery scenarios.
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 choose the proper recovery method and gear for a given situation and how to use traction boards, recovery straps, a Hi-Lift jack, and a winch. Our classes are small, allowing you to interact with the other students and share your experiences while learning from each other, and you will be encouraged to practice each of your new skills in our hands-on training style.
By the end of the course, you will gain confidence in yourself and a better understanding of your vehicle and recovery options, allowing you to head out on your adventures and be safer.
BE SURE TO BRING:

Chair
Bug spray
Clothing for outdoor conditions (warm, rain-proof coat and pants; hiking or mud boots as appropriate to the weather)
Work gloves
Lunch / Snacks / Non-alcoholic Beverages
Pen & Paper

No additional equipment is required, although we strongly recommend you have a full-size spare. Part of the day will be learning about the types of tools available to help you with your own purchasing decisions. You’re welcome to bring and ask questions about any other equipment you already own, particularly recovery straps/ropes and winches.

Cost of this event is $150 for current 4WDABC individual members. Each person attending will require their own ticket. This will be a very busy and action-packed day, so please, no children or pets.
