    It's going to be very dusty.

    It's lazy attitudes like that which allow the gov't to walk all over the rights of the citizen.

    The problem is expecting an officer on a quad in Oregon to know CA law.
    Both states have offroad stickers and both have on road plates. In Oregon a sticker is required in an OHV area and a plate is NOT a substitute. Apparently a plate is a substitute in CA. This is a recipe for confusion. Now imagine that officer having to parse a dozen different state rules and some provinces too.

    It is all about perspective. You can choose to buy a $10 sticker and enjoy the weekend or not and roll the dice on a not so fun conversation and maybe ticket. Your not changing the law at this point so really all you are doing is setting yourself up for a bad time IMHO. The cool thing is you can choose to do what you like here in this great country so you have options.

    I dislike paying taxes more than the average bear, but paying for an OR OHV sticker is money well spent IMO because the money goes back into the system and hasn't been raided yet and put into the general fund like it has in other states.
    The stickers are funding a lot of great work here and if you come to use the trail systems 10$ doesn't seem like robbery to me.

    Not sure Kevin. If the Gathering is early this year I may still be busy too.
