YesYou have some very nice trail options!
Southern California has thousands of miles of trails
Even in the heart of Los Angeles, this trail is probably 35 miles crows flight from LA
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

You can drive from Southern California all the way to Montana on off road trails without touching an inch of asphalt.You can get really jealous. Here you have to rely on a very few closed-off areas.
Nope.That would make it worth moving to California!
All outside considerations aside, it is an INCREDIBLY beautiful state. Good for you for taking advantage of the best it has to offer.
That's what I tell them too...Well it is Spring Break so it was a little cool with a chance of rain this morning on the beach.

And then there was this guy, wish I got a pic of the driver, he matched that old good times van perfectly, grey hair half way down his back and Birkenstocks!
When I first saw him he was standing next to his van with both rear wheels turning
I parked down a ways and watched a couple Jeeps try and fail to get him out, BTW I did NOT place the strap on his bumper, if a man I generally hand them the strap and inform him I have no responsibility where it is placed, he no longer has an air dam under his bumper but at least he is no longer stuck

IMHO "tooling" around town with an "armed" HMMWV is a bad idea, just my 2 cents worth.Decided to mount up the dummy 50 cal (even though its not finished) and went to the beer distributor. Got quite the attention lol. Also took my son to the park for a bike ride.

I don't do it often, usually only during parades. But when I do, no one is allowed in the turret/touching the gun, which is not loaded, and I'm complying with all state/local/federal laws.IMHO "tooling" around town with an "armed" HMMWV is a bad idea, just my 2 cents worth.
You’ll change your tune soon enough when some woke antiGun antiNRA Antifa member SWAT’s you thinking you’re carrying live weapons on your roof. I don’t think you want LE to draw down on you thinking that unit is real.I don't do it often, usually only during parades.

Point taken, but for context: I've done it twice ever outside of parades. It's a small town and many of the cops know me (I do work for local police and fire companies).You’ll change your tune soon enough when some woke antiGun antiNRA Antifa member SWAT’s you thinking you’re carrying live weapons on your roof.

I think a lot of the above depends all on where you live. I live in a small town and tho it would get a lot of looks it wouldn't be a problem even if they called the cops. Of the times I've been pulled over (and carrying a loaded gun) I always inform the officer of it even tho i'm not required to and only one has had me pull the gun out and set it on top of the vehicle. I think most cops just assume there probably some type of weapon close by.Point taken, but for context: I've done it twice ever outside of parades.

That is interesting, a couple weeks ago I was at an event where a Texas DPS officer gave a talk, he said they do not want you to inform them if you are carrying, he said they just assume everyone is carrying, he said if you inform then the officer has to follow up with an investigation to make sure you are eligible to carry (non felon).I think a lot of the above depends all on where you live.
