I gave the kids the last dune buggy I built. They stopped letting 4x2's on the island, and made you have to have currant tags on your 4x4's.

The kids had a ball running that thing through the woods. Held up for a long time, Just scrapped it about 3 years ago when I was in clean up mode.

I had mine around 30 years ago, and sold them when the kids were still small. We do have 10's of thousands of square miles to run on out here though......

Is the sand soft like the east coast?
or can you roll along good on flotation tires?

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else! Nice day here today. Got some lawn mowed and finished up the "pre-elk hunt" prep on the camper.

That's great. I know that in the past we always liked to find a quiet "out of the way" - "out of the public eye" location to train the dogs. Made it much safer for the dogs, the handler and the "dummy's" that would get all decked out in the bite suits. The base up there would be absolutely ideal. Props are built in!

Dave - here is something of interest:
"
At Diamond Lake on the Umpqua National Forest, signs informed people the boat ramps were closed. But at Applegate Lake on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, boat ramps were closed by locked gates.
At Diamond Lake, "people are thinking they don't have to pay, but they're still using the boat ramps and parking lots," said Rick Rockholt, manager of the Diamond Lake Resort. "And as far as I know, no one's been hassled.""
2013 government shutdown: Crater Lake rangers kicking out people found in the national park | OregonLive.com

Now, as far as I know, those boat ramps don't cost a thing to operate. The day use fees and the Oregon State Marine Board cover any maintenance expenses so WTF?

Anything to inconvenience us, and point fingers at those terrible Republicans who shut down the gooberment.

And, unfortunately..........All kinds of morons will believe it.

I think our ancestors would have been shooting by now.

Something has gotta give, either we become a socialist state of dependent vassals, or someone takes up the banner of the Constitution as the LAW of the land and refuses to be intimidated by the kenyan, muslim imposter in the WH.

What bothers me most Dave is not so much Obummer - although he is responsible for much heartburn, but people like our New York Oregon Legislator Wyden, PDX Senator Merkitup, and their cohorts. The guy in the white house is there, at most, for 8 years and while he can definitely raise some hate and discontent, it is those goof ball idiots in congress that empower him and seem to have a death grip on the office and are near impossible for us red necks to vote out.

We can't do a thing about it either, while Portland and eugene do all the voting for us.

Obummer has done more to send us circling the drain than any POTUS has EVER done, and these idiots gave him a second term?!!!!
