The thousands of acres of public land in southern Arizona are attracting more and more All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) just like we are seeing in the wooded areas of northern Michigan.
The vehicles are fun to drive but many of the old people who can now afford to own them think they are 18 again when they get behind the wheel. (and drive as such!)
Just like some winter snowmobile drivers, many ATV owners go out to see how fast they can zoom through the desert trails and how many miles they can travel in a given amount of time. We have noticed that many drivers are trying hard to impress their riders, and seldom take the time to appreciate the scenery they are rushing through.
Jeeps are also very popular down here during the winter months. Sometimes we see as many as 30 or more parked in our main RV Park parking lot as various Jeep clubs gather to picnic and party together.
The vast Sonoran Desert attracts many visitors and people who like to explore. We often wonder if anyone actually walks in the desert or rides a mule???
It would be much quieter and less dusty if they did.
