"In fact, the "oldtimers" like the PNW4WDA, are the new age wheelers that have evolved with the times, learning to work with the regulations and laws of today. Meanwhile the renegades are still trying to live in the 70s and 80s and ruining things for everyone".

More comment:


The 2009 Washington State Legislative session started this week and Senator Ken Jacobsen and Senator Adam Kline have introduced the first anti-offroad vehicle bill of the year.

SB5128 is similar to last year’s SB6301.

Along with a lot of other junk, this draconian piece of legislation would send you to jail if you “damage vegetationâ€
