The government gated off access to probably 90% of the roads that lead up into the mountains (public land BTW) around the entire state, which is almost all mountains. They can't seem to budget all the money for some reason, and sell off large public land trusts right out from under everyones feet. Now days you have to pay for some BS discovery pass just so you can park next to some over crowded bathroom that cost millions of dollars, and worry about organized thief rings from busting your windows out just to go on a hike. Putting the pass card in your window is basically an advertisement to the thieves, and why I will never buy one. Its my land, and I don't need the government telling me where I can and cannot go.
Now, if they would just add a large garbage container towards the bottom of every gated off road (so losers don't dump their trash), and stop taking my roads away, I would gladly pay a little extra to be able to visit my land again, and poop in the woods in peace.
