I don't know where he lives, but there's an off road vehicle area off
highway 5 south of Gorman, you can go to the Guadalupe dunes, or to
Ocatillo Wells. There are more. Sorry you don't have one on your
doorstep: if this activity is really important to you, perhaps you
should consider moving closer to one of these parks, or buy some 
land and establish a private one.

But I'm disturbed by your attitude. You don't deny that ORV's are
destructive to the desert. You're saying that, because this 
product (an ORV) exists and you have bought one, you have inherent right to go 
destroy land that belongs to all of us, all for the sake of a momentary
adrenaline rush/General Rommel fantasy. I can't help feeling this is
selfish.
