Most places are 4x2 ready - the ground clearance is as important as having four wheels tugging. If you get caught we'll just tug you out with a bit of a strap and then carry on. No biggie. On the formal club runs someone with experence is in the front and another in the back guiding the clueless (like me!) through the trail.

Lots and lots of fun. I can not more highly suggest a trip out with the club to enjoy the back roads of California.
