> [@JayS](#): > > It really isn’t about freedom. In NY, and the east in general, the land is mostly private because these are populated areas. NY’s snowmobile trail system only exists because of generous landowners who let people ride on their properly. The tradeoff here is they only want people riding in the designated trail. Out west it’s tons of public access lands so boondocking is completely acceptable. > > Of course even if 90% of NY was public access lands I’m sure this nannystate would still find a way to fuck it up. that’s the thing, the nanny state. i’m not saying WA is perfect, but hell, we have public mountain bike trails that have all sorts of huge jumps, ladders etc that u could easily fuck yourself up on. in NYS, it would be illegal because of “liability” reasons. We have tons of public land, both state and federal, where we can go do as we please (as long as we are being good environmental stewards e.g. not leaving trash everywhere) We do have inner city people try to ruin it for the rest of the state (I’m lookin at you Seattle) but most of our citizens are willing to stand up to Goliath to protect our recreation areas. ---

I’ll give you that. You can flush NYC. BUT the rest of the state, is quite nice. Much worse out there, for living in. ---

I saw a guy riding tonight on my way home which made me think there was a foot of snow like in Springville. Once I got out of my vehicle I realized the guy was riding on a dusting. LOL ---

I’m hoping that something opens locally, at least south this week. If not, I’m heading to Tug Hill Wednesday / Thursday. After this week the weather outlook is terrible everywhere. It’ll be well into January before there is riding again from the looks of it. ---

The rain killed off alot that we had in Genesee County. I went for a rip yesterday. We went from 12 inches to about 5-6. The fields still have tons of wet spots. Not looking good. ---

> [@snowracer101](#): > > Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Already been out 8 times this year, and our winter hasn’t “officially” started. We’ve been getting dumped on, and usually we don’t get amazing riding until January. Needless to say, the only reason I haven’t rode more is needed a few days to rest before I get back out!

LOL Side note, some of the stuff east of Rochester opened up last night like Williamson and Lakeshore but I don’t see them staying open long with the warm up on it’s way.
