Trip Rules  
  To Our Visitors and Members:

These are suggested rules which we have found to be helpful on a club outing. They are simple rules not intended to restrict your fun, but rather to act as reminders for a safe and enjoyable trip. 

Don't be a "Litter Bug." The rule is, "IF YOU HAUL IT IN - YOU HAUL IT OUT". 

Don't be careless about matches and smokes. Be sure FIRES ARE PUT OUT COMPLETELY. 

Firearms are not allowed to be exposed in camp, vehicles, or trails. 

Speed limit in and around camp area is recommended at 5 miles per hour. 

When traveling with other vehicles, always wait at the turn for the vehicle behind you. Keep the vehicle in back of you in sight when possible. If you don't see it, STOP. Go back after a reasonable length of time. Radio contact should be made if possible. 

If you leave the caravan or trip, please notify the person in charge (Trail Boss.) 

Obey the Trail Boss as to the rules for each trip. Often you are on government or private lands and it is the responsibility of the trip leader to see that the privileges extended to the group are not violated. Park, Forest and Other Land Regulations are Laws and shall always be obeyed. 

The destruction of plants, soil , meadows, etc. is to be avoided. 

Outdoor bathroom stops may be handled as "men to the left, women to the right," when such stops are necessary. 

OVERNIGHT CAMPING is basically the same except for the fact you are together out of your vehicles for a longer period of time. COURTESY is the keynote and certain areas should be taken into consideration: NOISE - keep radios, generators, motorbikes, musical instruments, voices and vehicles as controlled as possible. Keep running of generators to a minimum (not before 8:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m.). CAMPFIRES - check to be sure campfires are permitted and consult the group as to location. ANIMALS - all pets should be kept under control at all times. CHILDREN - keep track of your own. Lost children are a disaster.

If you have any questions, please ask your Trail Boss or another club member. It is better to be safe than sorry.
