OMG! Back in about 98 or 1999 I wrote the Alabama Forestry commissioner and said" Can yall set aside some land like Geaorgia does so all erosion ,tresspassing and all other mischief can be concentrated in one spot?" Mean while I gained the support of Off Road Connection(4x4) in Fultondale to talk to him aswell.Well when I walked into Off Rd Conn I told them my plan and the owner imediatly replied " You dune buggies propel yourselves by ripping up the dirt". I let it go, but I thought we could be partners in this endeavor.Later I got a call from the state Commissioner and he was all excited about my idea. I gave him Off Road's telephone number and really believed I was going to make something happen.Well, guess what. The Commissioner called me back the next week and told me," Mr. Phillips, You dune buggies propel yourselves by ripping up dirt."(I wonder where he heard that)."We have considered opening up some land in the Talledega National Forrest but it will be for jeeps and ATV's." I despise a pimp or a sucka$$ I'm not absolutly sure about the year but every sentence is true with my right hand in the air.
i know kieth at orc and he is a super nice guy, or at least he always has been to me ( back when i had my rock crawler anyways ) buuuuuuutttttttttttttttt, true there colors, MOST of the 4x4 guys around bama cant stand a buggy, because unless they are jumping or crawling across bolders, we for the most part go where they go with smaller tires and less tires pulling and less horsepower
so yes DD i believe every word of it
