Dude! I'd so be up for a trip. Not too far away from home but something very scenic. Lol I'd probably be the youngest person there. But who cares. I love hiking. I used to go up to Azusa canyons every weekend with my 2 dogs to go on a beautiful scenic 12 mile hike with river crossings and cliffs to dive into the freezing cold river lol. Man sounds like a blast Mark. Hit me up whenever ur thinking about going. I'll try my best to make time.

I'd LOVE to have a tour through the Ozarks... Have a good bud, Thook, who lives in the heart of em! He runs an Animal Shelter on his property.... LOTS of animals. He lives by a famous lake out there up in the mountains. Can't remember the name.... But the pics I've seen are INCREDIBLE, all around him!
But alas, my backyard is the Sierras, Sequoias, Death Valley, Coastal Wilderness... And closest, Angeles Crest National Forest.

Ark-Alarky'SawZall! hahaha. (That's what my buddy from there calls it.. Lives in L.A. now and is torn... Wants to be home, but LOVES the social life here... plus, he likes that you can Surf/Ski/Waterski and Soak in a Hot spring in the desert, all in the same day? hahaha. But you know what they say.... "Come to L.A. on Vacation... leave on probation"... And there's another one that's actually RELATIVE to this point I was making, hahaaha... Something about "Welcome to L.A. , ..... AKA 'Hotel California'.... The place you check in, but you can never leave!" hahaha.

10,000? Yeah, this square block down the street has that, ...easy! hahaha. But honest, .... 45 minutes from my door and you're in the woods, man! Heck, 5 minutes if you're in Pasadena or something like that? haha. But yeah, I'm ready to live more 'out there', NO doubt! Lived on a lake in East Valley Spokane, WA for a while... VERY small town life. VERY MANY FEET OF SNOW, TOO! lol.

I got to see the Sequoias Park while out there. Beatuiful!! I heard they burnt a few years ago. That is too bad, hope they recover from the fire. Didnt get to see the Redwoods, would of liked too.
I have lived in several big cities and some smalll towns (75 people) told the wife when we win the lottery that I never play, I am getting back out on the farm. Have enjoyed everywhere I have lived. Pros and cons to them all.

Hello Buck87..It is a little south of Kansas City. Been thru there quite a few times. Dont know when the last time your dad has been there but the whole midwest has exploded in population. He might not recognize it now if it has been awhile. They are expanding the highway up that way to help with traffic. Will probably be thru there in a month or so. Need to run up that way soon.

Hello Mark..Some fires are good as long as the build up of leaves and such dont stack so deep as the fires get to hot. Otherwise it is just trees and nothing else can live on it. I hear you on the stupid ones or the arsonist. Grrr..
Hello Bill..lol..We need some parks around here. The ones we got only horses can be rode in. Not into that.

WOOT! hahaha... Hey, the funniest thing for me was.... I always could live without it,....booze was my 'problem', so to speak... But quit that first! hahaha... (Of course I did... I didnt' WANT to get rid of the Bourbon just yet! haha).... But the actually funny part was, that I ALWAYS would think/say, "It's the stress/crises, man.... It helps me get through it without such drama going on in my emotions/life".... Well, quickly realized, that often, 'CRISES' can come in QUADRUPLET or more, lol... and KEEP COMING, ..... And when I just woke up and one day said, "OK, that's it! Stupid waste of money"(For me, guys,...not calling anyone who partakes 'stupid'... just my personal experience, hahaha)..., quitting that minute... I WAS WAY more capable of staying calm in crises/stressful and emotional times in life... And THINKING CLEARLY? HOLY COW! Well, ..now, there's "Blueberry BC Waffles" and all this hybrid/chemistry lab PSYCHO stuff!...... I can't imagine how INSANELY LOST I would be compared to 10 years ago's version, hahahahaha. I'd be hiking in the Angeles Crest, and people would find me next to a rock with a paint pen, writing on a rock, all disheveled, >>> ...... hahaha, JK, JK... But I'll drop that topic, while it's still 'vague', ya know? Don't wanna TICK off the wrong person, lol.
HOLY CRAPOLI! You'd better give me free admission! Considering you're 'rules', I'ma need that money I saved to fix all the stuff I broke FLYING over stuff there! hahaha. Actually... I BET once you're done with that sick rig of yours... You'll not CARELESSLY snap stuff, right Bill? hahaha
True, true.... PHX was like that when I visited/stayed for College in 96-99. IT HAD EXPLODED compared to how it was. Yes, always decent sized... but I'm talking MIND boggling, the difference!
Yeah, I'm just talking 'control burns' and then the occasional spontaneous fire that takes out 1,000,000 acres of 'bark beetle infested' disease..... Which actually ends up saving 30,000,000 more acres! hahhaa... BUT, I say all that with the full acknowledgement of HOW HORRIFIC fires can be and the damage they can do.... NO WAY are all forest fires for the best, I know that for sure, man. And YES, THOSE guys! hahaha.... STUPID MORONS, ...... Narcissists of our Time! Can't just stop and think, "Hey, would I do this in my backyard if it was surrounded by TINDER BOX BRUSH!?!?!?!?" Yeah, 'WHO CARES', ... And then, trying to get out of it when they DO eventually destroy stuff.
The bigger one in the Angeles not too many years ago.... it was started by a guy parking his Toyota Pick Up in the tall Flashing Grass on the side of the road... His CAT lit up some of it, while he walked the other direction... Within 4 minutes, it was HUGE, and he was running back up the road from another direction, trying to save his truck...(what was left of it), but it was WAY too hot. So hot that his clothes started to combust as he got too close...

Yeah living in the high desert is nice with the hammers right there angels national forest right there deep creek 5 min away from me makes for alot of different scenery. I'll tell you what tho them dam fire can be a pain if you work down the hill either driving through it or having to go through crest line man if man. It's sad when you go for a ride through the mountain trails and see all this burnt habitat looking so bear. But then again in a couple years its all green as come be so yeah it helps but still has a negative impact on all the trees (unless they are infected with them dam bark beatles)

If you remember the Espiranza Fire in 2006 five US Forest Service Firefighter died. It was an arson fire and the guy who started was sentenced to death.
Rattlesnake fire 1953, 15 Firefighters killed. Arson
Serious stuff.
