This year's Trip 2016 is finally here! There have been a lot of head count changes with life getting in the way of our fun, but the latest figures put us at about twelve guys and eight rigs. Some members are coming out late or leaving early, so if you can't make the whole trip, just find someone else to carpool with. The tentative plan is to meet at the far back dirt parking lot of Cabellas near Reno on Thursday, May 26, around 7pm. There will be a pre-trip camp night there. Around 8-9am on Friday morning, the group will head northwest through Gerlach towards Stevens Camp in Black Rock Desert. Official camp night #1 will be as close to Stevens Camp as we can be. We'll head further into the desert the next morning, taking us across the High Rock Canyon trail. We hope to find a location to base camp near the mid-west portion of the Black Rock Desert playa where we will hopfully stay the rest of the trip. This is probably our final year traveling to Nevada, so come out for some fun in our neighboring "free" state! See the list below for a food shopping each member should bring:
Breakfasts:
Biscuits and gravy
French toast
Breakfast burritos
Pork steak and eggs
Dinners:
Pork steak, potatoes, broccoli

"Where in the Duck are We? 4x4 Club" was founded in 2005 on the snowy trails near Butte Meadows, CA. The founding members were "lost," had little in the way of a plan or destination, and found an out-of-place duck decoy in the snow drifts. The club was born with the idea that all you need is basic four wheel drive, a few days out of the year and some buddies to have fun and escape the daily grind. Members are a loose group of trail wheeling and back country enthusiasts. We meet once a year for The Trip; five days in your rig with three of those days off-road.
