They found 356 tires, 23 gallon jugs of used motor oil and a couch. They picked up piles of discarded shingles and the makings of a meth lab. In fact, they collected 18 tons of trash last Saturday, but Jeff Traynor remembers the little things.

"The smallest, nastiest thing was a trash bag that stunk all day," said Traynor, the external director for the Two Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club. More >>

Who We Are

The Two Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club, located near Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a family oriented, trail riding organization. The Club holds a number of trail rides, forest and trail clean ups, and charitable events. All Club events are alcohol free for safety and legality.

The Club is not brand specific ( i.e. Jeep™ only); all you need to participate is a four-wheel drive vehicle, a properly secured winch point on both ends of the vehicle, and common sense. Most events require the vehicle and driver be street licensed/ insured as roads may connect trail segments on some outings.

We are anticipating another year with plenty of events including the annual trail clean-up, July’s Board BBQ, monthly trail rides and more. The Two-Trackers Four Wheel Drive Club is made stronger and more enjoyable by the volunteering and participation of its membership. Your involvement is necessary to continue our efforts in building a diverse library of trails, educating and demonstrating responsible off-road driving and preserving a network of trails for our use and the use of future generations.

Meetings

Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of each month at 760 Front Avenue, Grand Rapids, MI 49504. Meetings start at 7:00 pm. Use this Mapquest link for directions. If you are interested in joining our club, please download a membership application for more information.
