The Lost Coast 4x4's club was formed in Fortuna in the summer of 1992. About 6 members were active that summer and began building the and recruiting new members. By the summer of 1993 we had about a dozen members, as of this year 2010 we have 30 members.We organize a river bar cleanup at the Eel River annually, collecting tons of garbage. We have participated in the Rodeo Parade and help in directing traffic for the annual Truckers Parade in Eureka. We also participate in the Adopt a Highway program.

Our organization is family orientated and promotes safe but fun four wheeling and outings. We meet once and have at least on run a month and members our incuraged to initiate promtue runs. We have a group that does a run a mojor trails such as the Rubicom with the more modified machines. The vehicles in our club range from Monteros, Toyota's, Samurais to modified Jeeps, Trucks and other vehicles. Our objective is to assist where needed and work to keep public lands open to the public. We praticipate in the "Tread Lightly" program and only drive where allowed. Our organization is non-profit in character, bringing together and promoting the interest of family 4-wheeling as well as enjoying and maintaining our country's natural resources. The members club members are the ones who decide on the runs and functions.
