Let us tell you a little about our association, the association consists of Jeep Wranglers only (any year, model, modified or stock) that are from the SW Washington and NW Oregon area. We hold Meetings and Events each month, and there are no membership dues.
We are not for everyone. We do not have “RULES” however; we do have some expectations and guidelines we would like our members to follow.
We promote a family oriented group atmosphere, we believe that drugs and alcohol at an event don’t mix; we are dedicated to promoting safe, fun, challenging recreational events, to teach and promote safe vehicle recovery and driving techniques, and to encourage you to follow the principles of Tread Lightly. We have a great group of Jeep Wrangler members of all ages, driver skills, and vehicle capabilities, stock and modified. Most of our vehicles are daily drivers and we are not out to break them or damage roads and trails. If you’re looking for a hard core off roading club, then this is not for you.
There are times we put on a scenic cruise for example and may not even go off road. That does not mean we do not challenge our vehicles capabilities and driver skills, we can and do.
Tread Lightly! Principles

Tread Lightly! Principles
- Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and areas. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. When possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas.
- Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore.
- Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely.
- Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.
- Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.
