It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

I think Dante's point, (I've known him 30 years) is to each his or her own.(correct me if I'm wrong Dante) I used to do the critisize thing, but as I mellow (sure) I say what the heck. Golf is rediculous to me, but I recognize its' worth to others. I like to have a rig built up that can do or go anywhere. Most people dont. What the heck.

I personally gave up golf. I figured if I was going to spend most of my time in the trees, the experience should be more beneficial, so I took up hiking.
As far as trailhead vehicles, I'm looking to upgrade.
My golf cart ain't cutting it.

I suffer from "SUV LOVE"

And I'm hoping it's never cured! Seriously, I drive an Explorer, drove somewhere in the 15,000 mile range last year-shoud be in the 18,000 range this year. It gave me freedom and confidence to go where I wanted (i'm female with a young child) without worrying. We drive every weekend an average of 250 - 600 miles to hike. We camp to save $$-We sleep in the back on a futon mattress. Cozy, comfy and safe! I won't sleep in a tent in a frontcountry campground solo. I love my tinted windows Sure my gas mileage sucks, but it's a tradeoff-I could drive a 2 door Ford Fiesta and get 40 mpg, but where would I put all my gear? Where'd I sleep? I've been many a road I thought I'd never see. A mid size SUV is a good choice if you need room-and mpg is not much lower than a tiny SUV. As for Sub's, one of my hiking partners drives a newer wagon-she goes everywhere I go with nary a problem-the clearance is fine-I've seen Sub wagons up at Twin Lakes. Only thing is they have little cargo space and wouldn't be good for 2 to sleep in. PS: if I ever did try to get rid of the Explorer, my kid would have a hissy fit-at 5 he claims it is his truck! And he likes riding up high-it's like I have a dog sometimes
