Tierra Del Sol is a family oriented not-for-profit 4x4 club based out of San Diego, California. Two of these men were Roy Pruitt and Bozzy Willis.

It wasn’t until after World War II, where the military jeep had proved so sturdy and utilitarian, that adventurous souls became enamored with its use in our mountainous back country and desert using old Indian and white man trails. Thus, a new type of recreation was being born in the late 1940s and 50s, embraced by a small group of hardy men eager to see what our challenging countryside had to offer, and the term “ jeeping ” became the definitive name for” Four Wheeling”.In those early years a “Search and Rescue” team of local men with citizen band radios gained an intimate knowledge of the local back country thru their rescue work. Some decided to forego “Search and Rescue” and concentrate on adventure and exploration. Bozzy had always worked closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs where his father had been employed. Bozzy’s knowledge of the Indians, their trails, culture and history made him an instant leader of the small band of early four wheelers. Eventually the membership evolved into a club named Tierra Del Sol.Tierra Del Sol 4 Wheel Drive Club was incorporated in August 1962 as a non-profit organization and some of the early names are still part of the TDS roster: Albrecht, Arnold, Branch, Collins, Fertig, Londo, Nielson, Rappold, and Stough.

Tierra Del Sol 4WD Club is proud to present a $𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to the 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, funded entirely by proceeds from our annual Desert Safari.

Protecting the places we ride takes more than good intentions, it takes resources, and BRC has been putting them to work. This past year alone, they helped push the Marine Corps to revise its Johnson Valley access plan after mobilizing 30,000+ public comments, pressured the DOJ into appealing the Western Mojave closure that threatened over a million acres of California desert, and kept fighting for trail access in Idaho's Silver Valley, Utah's Clarkston, and California's Prairie City among others, all while advancing motorized recreation protections through Congress and standing up for disabled veterans and outdoor enthusiasts on Capitol Hill.

Every dollar raised at Desert Safari goes straight back into keeping public lands open to the people who use and love them. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐢, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. This is what grassroots land use advocacy looks like.
