I love to go 4-wheeling. There is just something about climbing over large rocks with a vehicle that gets me psyched. Your senses are all a tingle, your bum is all in a pucker and your heart is up in your throat as you crest large hills and worry about what was just torn off your vehicle from the last 'thunk'. But with all the conservationists and activitsts these days there are becoming fewer and fewer locations to find these thrills and loose these important car parts. As more and more areas are closed down folks are forced into smaller areas which result in more damage and abuse in those areas as well as unapporved areas.

My idea is to create locations where folks can go and enjoy the sport. There are a few options in this approach. The first is very conventional; purchase some land in the high country, craft the trails, and advertise. This is a very expensive approach and is very location dependent. Having a dedicated and managed area is a good way to draw folks away from the out-of-bounds areas and provide more safety.

The second approach to this is to build dedicated 4x4 areas out of actual trash. Ok, I know this sounds weird but hang on. Take some commercial property that is on the outskirts of town, fence it, and haul in some of the larger trash from your local dump: Cement pipes, Wire spools, fridgerators. Then build a series of courses. Also plant lots trees around the perimeter and along the course. Be sure to cover much of the course with cement and dirt. This allows for a better look and keeps the course in shape much longer. This business can be much closer to towns and will attract a lot of spectators($'s). Vendors are able to access the area much easier too, allowing your business to grow. This would also be a good location to provide 4x4 training courses at all levels. Keeping it open on weekends allows the weekly employed to run a hobby on the side and keep the conservationists at bay. (I did read an article in a 4x4 magazine about a very similar event that was put on recently, so this one is not that new, but more of an awareness.)
