Have to agree there. The "good ole days" left a lot of torn up property. Unfortunately, I have to fess up to being part of that problem in the 80s.
There are some public lands you can wheel on. Forget about the "no rules". You can't get that on private land anymore unless you own it yourself. Within the rules, though, there's some good wheeling to be had if you're willing to plan ahead. Big Bend has Black Gap Road that's worthy in just about any sense you can name. On the north end of the trail expect to be 25 degrees off camber on a 150 foot cliff. It's a trail that requires patience and finesse, though, if you expect to be able to drive your junk at the other end. I've seen plenty of broken axles, shackles and other suspension parts from guys who thought mashing the skinny pedal was all the skill they needed.
Another place that is pretty cool is Padre Island NS. You have 55 miles of beach to drive on and 50 requires 4wd to avoid becoming a permanent resident. You also have to avoid all the things that wash up from the Gulf and that can be entertaining. |

The good ol days of trail riding has turned into extreme rock crawling and that is leading to closed trails. |
