D. N.
Member-At-Large
​D’s childhood was full of ATV’s, motorcycles, 4x4ing & camping. After her divorce, she decided to go back to what she really loved, the great outdoors & animals. (She volunteers with 3 rescues!) She joined online 4x4 groups but found they were mostly men & as a single woman men would message offering to “take her for a ride.” So, for comfort, She joined BC 4x4 women and found a community full of knowledgeable, inspiring, supportive truly amazing women who have now become great friends.
