Serious question, why does everyone act like you need a 4x4 to get to any decent campsite?
Last week, I took my front-wheel drive Honda Civic up a pretty rough forest service road near Flagstaff to get to a dispersed spot. I mean, I had to go slow and pick my lines, but I made it just fine. People at the trailhead looked at me like I was nuts. Three years ago, I had a big truck and honestly, I got it stuck more often because I thought I could just plow through anything. With the car, you have to think about it, check the ground clearance, and maybe walk the last half mile if it gets too dicey. I feel like the 'real' camping experience gets lost when you just rely on a huge vehicle to get you exactly where you want to go. Has anyone else had good luck getting off the pavement without a dedicated off-road rig?
