These trips require at lease one club advisor to go along and emergency contact information.

Sometimes, as a club member, you have to spend your money  out of your pocket first on the trip. There will be reimbursements for your money back by the International Club. The reimbursements is a long, painful process. Be sure that you will not go broke before the next field trip approaches.

These are places members of the International club have visited:

> Oregon
> Seattle
> Lost Lake
> San Francisco

Many trips were successful because of a thorough plan and the cooperation of the weather.

Here are tips on planning a successful trip:

• Inspect your vehicle to make sure it is in good condition for a long drive.
   
• Have emergency kits in the trunk of your car.
   
• If you have a cell phone, buy a pocket power inverter that you can plug into a cigarette jack of your car. It can convert 12-V DC into 110-V AC, a power enough to recharge your cell phone on the go.
   
• Have cash in your hand. It is easier to spend cash because not every store accepts Debit or Credit cards.
   
• Buy food close to where you live before you travel. If you wait to buy food at the destination store, chances are that the food over there is more expensive. If you arrive at your destination at night and want to make barbeque, you will have difficulty buying meat because most stores may already be closed.
   
• Bring a sleeping bag, flashlight, bottle of water, and appropriate clothing. The weather at night is very chilly in the Pacific Northwest .
   
• Buy a map or print one from the internet.  It is easier to have a helpful resource available in your own hand when you need it.
