The BLM and other regulatory bodies should no more lump the two together than we should lovers of the outdoors and rabid "tree huggers." While some of the accouterments may be the same the approach and outcome is totally different.
So, the photographs I post aren't so much about the "whiz bang" stuff; but rather, more about the destinations and views and outcomes. Such, is the case with this post: Summer riding is nearly always TOWARD something cool – and that's pretty much: water!
