Re: Freedom of speach moderated?

Well it sounds like this place is quickly becoming a dead echo. It was fun while it lasted but if I have to become 100% politically correct it takes all the fun out of posting here. All day long I have to bit my lip at work and keep a positive attitude. But at the end of the day when I get home I li...

Re: The Boulder Dam By-Pass - Question

Get off I-40 in Kingman and take US 93 north. Stop at the dam (you will be delayed anyway) at the parking lot near the stop sign and start taking all the pictures you want. If you walk over the dam you will get a great view of the bridge. Take a wide angle lens with you.

Re: New Mexico launches OHV abuse hotline

Evidently, state officials in New Mexico see a need for a statewide reporting system due to a high incidence of illegal OHV abuse. I find it amusing that the same old posters here keep denying the scope and magnitude of the ongoing problems associated with these scoflaws. Well I just think that an ...

Re: New Mexico launches OHV abuse hotline

I'll bet they end up shutting it down after they get flooded with bogus calls. Don't like your Nabors and they have dirt bikes? Call 800-366-4868 and let them do the dirty work for you.

Re: What happened?

Considering what happened last year with the Nurse from Las Vegas and the couple up in Oregon, I'm starting to wonder if having GPS units in passenger cars (or even jeeps or trucks) is really a good idea.
