Reply to comment by James0nJuiceb0x in Odd request. Looking for public side roads for jeep driving. by AgentNose

I don’t think that’s a valid comparison. I fish, and I’ve been known to travel a bit to fish a specific lake, but I can also use that gear to fish on lakes only a few minutes down the road.

A better comparison would be this, hypothetically living in North Central PA, my hobby is marlin fishing. I have a 28 foot center console that I have to drive to the outer banks to use. The marlin lures are way to big for anything in this area to eat, and the boat can’t be used as no ramp is large enough to handle it and all the local lakes are electric motors only.

Okay. But, again, what's odd about someone having to travel to indulge in a hobby? People should only have hobbies that are available in their immediate vicinity?

Just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy lol

I’m not prevent anyone from doing anything. Hell I even gave them a suggestion on where to find a place to ride.

I simply commented that it seems odd to me that people purchase things like Jeeps and ATVs and then have to go out of their way to enjoy them.

Maybe it’s because of how I was raised and farm life that I don’t view things like ATVs and big trucks as toys, but as tools.

I wouldnt say people are going out of their way to enjoy their hobbies. For me, half the fun is the drive there. We always take different routes and see different stuff.

I don't see how some of the ATVs and SXSs are anything but toys.
