[QUOTE="Travis1, post: 1418370, member: 16253"] Sure its my opinion, and I could have kept my rig bigger but I had a choice. Spend most of my time fighting for places to play better suited for bigger rigs, or spending most of my time playing. The government agencies haven't changed, they've largely supported mildly built 4x4's for DECADES. Other than potentially flat out losing land, this isn't changing any time soon. So instead of fighting to keep the land we have, get more, and get "better", I'm just fighting to keep what we got. I don't speak for them, but it's not my opinion either. Go find LEGAL ORV space, with naturally occuring land suitable for fully entertaining rock buggies on DNR land. Not counting an obstacle here or there, I don't know of any. Now, how about the forest service on this side of the mountains... I don't know of any there either, but please tell me where I'm wrong. The space we did have (illegally) is shut down by the DNR, and what they are proposing is build it. What does that tell you? That tells me they support it, but only under their conditions and naturally, those areas don't exist right now. Someone else will not do the work for you... Yet you want to just tell the DNR/FS what you want in a trail and for the most part it should magically happen? How about step up, go hiking, rent a helicopter, whatever, find an area that suits what you are looking for without causing environmental issues and start a campaign to get that area opened up. I'll be honest, of the "newer" generation, I have seen VERY FEW be willing to put that kind of time in for what they want knowing they may never get it. I'll be honest, it could be 10 years before you win, if you win. Go back to Pokey's generation and I see a lot more of them fighting for land to wheel, and even winning here or there. Of course, they are only interested in building for mildly built rigs, it's what they have. [/QUOTE]
