Adventure/ State thread

[Havic]

I feel like we should have a sub forum added that you can add your adventure to the state. Share your trail, pics and info to the trail in the state you explore making it easier for others to learn about an area or ride they may want to explore. Could include polaris ride command maps or other GPS maps to help people in the state as the travel threw. Maybe I'm alone on this but it would be nice to see new areas as I plan vacation to new states to ride in. What you guys think?

I live in Lakeview, Oregon and it is legal to ride off road machines on the roads in town and in the mountains. Hundreds of miles of riding right from my house. It is 100 hundred miles to the nearest town .

Welcome from Christmas Valley! All of Lake County is open for atvs. Makes riding from the house to explore a lot of fun.

I suggest this years ago on another site, Wow! Did I get flamed for that. They hated the idea that others might find out where they travel. They wanted to keep their routes secret. I left that site shortly after that.

There’s usually a good reason people don’t want to share their routes and places.

First, having a “spot” is usually somewhere few people go. For people who have those kinds of places it’s about getting out and away from where everyone else goes.

Second, the unscrupulous few tend to ruin things for everyone else. I’ve seen too many places become popular, and then get trashed or closed because people lack the decency to not throw trash out and not destroy the surroundings. So many historical points that I grew up visiting that have been torn down, burned, or vandalized.

The places we go aren’t particularly a secret. We’ve taken multiple people, who we know have the decency to respect nature and history, to the places we like to go. And many people have found them the same way we did, by exploring.
We just don’t share the precise locations publicly. A general area is good enough for those who want to go out and explore.
