Drive me crazy !! Congress had a bunch of their east coast reps. trying to pass a law to close down something like 20 million acres of land (mainly off road use) on the west coast.
They are trying to close down the famous Hammers trails over at Johnson Valley. GREAT wheeling out there, but they say they could use it for "Marine Training". I call BS, if they close it down, it wont ever be used.
People don't understand what we are doing, they think we are all loud, drunks who tear up the land, pollute and destroy.
Do you guys have any "Friends of.." clubs ? I have recently joined with quite a few- Friends of the Rubicon, Friends of Fordyce, Friends of Tellico, etc etc etc. And they are extremely well organized and are doing more then their fair share to help keep trails open. Maybe yall need something like that out there. Do volenteer clean ups, do fund raisers, maintain and clean the trails, keep people well informed how to "tread lightly" etc. i dont know, just a thought/rant !

Heights, though I'm trying to overcome that one. The view is always better from heights.
This country turning into a socialist/communist country. It seem to be headed that way.
A home invader breaking into my home and killing me and my girl. This kind of thing is becoming all too common in this area as of late. There isn't all that much you can do. Protecting yourself is against the law. You have to take your lumps and then call the cops. The home invaders know this and just kill you right away.

I'm skeered of crows. They say a crow is the devil's eyes into this world. I'm afraid of evil spirits too. I was almost killed by one when I was 13. Damn big *** mirror that was hanging over the fireplace mantle just decided it was going to fling itself at me while I was laying in the floor watching tv. My Mom screamed for me to get out of the way before the mirror even moved an inch. She knew it was going to happen for some reason unknown to me?
That mirror landed and broke into a thousand pieces right in the floor where I was laying. No joke. Cross my heart and hope to die if what I tell you is a lie.

Move to MO. Last year they passed the "Castle Doctrine".
Now if someone is illegally in my house, garage, or any outbuildings I can shoot first and ask questions later without any legal repercussions.
Not that it's always the best thing to do.
Before that the law was that the homeowner had to prove that the criminal was there to do bodily harm.
