Every time I see pics of you guys wheeling out West it makes me want to pull up stakes and move there. You get to drive through some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. It didn't bother me as much when I was able to hike and mountain bike my way back into the few remaining hinterlands around here but now that I am physically unable to do that it sure would be nice to take a "hike" via the VX. Can't do that in a National Park or National Forest here though! Gotta keep it on the road! The Powers That Be limit ORVs to three or four small patches of ground in this state. I call them swill-holes because whenever I've been to one and seen the 4-wheelers playing it always reminds me of pigs confined to a small pen rolling around in the mud.

You guys enjoy the access to wide open spaces while you can. The winds of change are blowing. It seems the Powers That Be are slowly but surely eliminating cross country routes and coralling you freedom-loving little piggies into pens too...
