I've been trying to join a 4x4 club but I'm having a hell of a time getting through the email systems.  Seems like CJA uses forums more anyways.  I'd like to ask questions but I can't make the May 17 meeting as I have other commitments.  Can you point me to a member that I can ask general questions to?  Fees, do I need to go out and buy a CB, do you get discounts at any particular shops, should I do a ride-along on a trip, etc? I printed off the "required equipment" list from another site but haven't got most of it.  Still figuring out what the equipment is and where to get it.
Consider me a newbie.  That's why I'd like to join so that I can figure out what I'm doing and what equipment I need to grab.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
