I'm sorry, but man am I glad I live out West:p

[Paul 3]

can we make this thread a sticky?

[TachedOutOffRoad]

I'm sorry, but man am I glad I live out West:p

Yeah, were all glad you live our West too.


Know of any cheap houses for sale :evil:?

[kellymoe]

No cheap houses. Seriously I do feel very fortunate to be able to drive an hour from home and be in the Mojave Desert with tens of thousands of miles of roads to explore. Not knocking you or East coasters but I just cant stand OHV areas, too crowded and wont pay to wheel. I would do it though if no other options existed. Thankfully there are people who are willing to open their land to wheelers.
