This is a very hot topic in Idaho, having had some bad "Out-of-State" actors, purchase old tracts of Plum Creek timber lands and wall it off, right in the middle of a Hunting section. In Idaho - the Color is ORANGE, not Purple. Previously, the law required that landowners place No Trespassing...

We have camped on the Valley floor during winter. Curry Village is still operating and the hotels are open year round. Roads are plowed. To get to the East Side - you'll have to down and around. A stop in Bishop is worth the effort.

We got out of town, soaked at Miracle Hot Spring for an hour & 1/2. Dined on gourmet Pizza, drank red wine and enjoyed the evening. The owners of Miracle also own Banbury Hot Springs which is right on the Snake River. Both Campgrounds are not off-highway, but without Cell-service. I took the...

It might be over used by us. But, when I have to explain the term, I get lots of questions: 1) How is that different from Off-roading? 2) Isn't that 4-Wheeling, or rock crawling? 3) I couldn't find that word is a Dictionary, did you make it up?
