    Most of my recent trips have been to either the Snowies about 35 miles outside Laramie or to Buena Vista, CO which is about 250 miles one way.

    Since I live next to a national wilderness area, the trail starts a few hundred yards from my driveway...however, I don't trail the taco, I take the 62 M37 Military Power Wagon since it has bigger tires, higher ground clearnance, and I can repair it with the hand tools I carry....The taco is used to get to town and back, where I keep my company car...the studded snows go on in a few weeks.

    The trails where I usually romp around and play are right across the street from me. No hardcore stuff, just some nice trails.
