October 2010 Trail Head
Trail EndHow is it that as Jeeps, 4x4s, ATVs, and other off-road activities become more popular, we're given less land to enjoy them? Before I had hit my early teens the local deserts were vast unrestricted open areas. There were even lots of places where I could ride a motorcycle off-road around my childhood home. It probably wasn't legal, but it was private property and nobody really cared-often times, not even the owner. There were no fences, no Keep Out signs, and no security guards. When I got my first 4x4 there were several places within a couple of miles of my house that had difficult trails and cool rock obstacles. The fairly common summer wildfires would burn through and clear the brush from the numerous rocky canyons. The following winter rains would alter our trails regularly. In the early '90s my friends and I had rocky streambeds that rivaled the famous trails we read about in 4x4 magazines-only our trails were two miles from home instead of 200.
