Here are some more information for Drag Off Road:
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what driveline or suspension setup you have, without a good set of tires for your four wheel drive you aren't going anywhere. Even with the biggest motor in the world, you need a set of tires to give you traction. If you think about a set of drag tires working in the mud then you can understand why the more aggressive types of tires are more popular for serious four wheel driving.
Of course, buying the right set of tires for four wheel driving is the most important option. For those who want to tour as a pose to serious rock climbing and mud runs then all terrain tires are the better choice. Of course, there are those who choose to never take their cars off the tarmac, and you are better off sticking with full on road terrain tires. At the end of the day though you will never get a perfect set of tires.
Those that are best off road are not as good on road, and vice versa. Those that are great off road tend to cost considerably more than those designed for road work. The only real solution is to have two sets; one that is switched on when you are going off road, and one that you use for driving around town. This is a pain to store, extra upfront cost and you have to change them over every time you go off road. Ultimately you just need to learn to compromise in one way or another.
I have written an article on 4x4 Tyres and on a good Mud Terrain Tyre known as the Maxxis Bighorn
One Reason Not to Flee California: Great Driving Roads
California is an interesting state, both unfriendly to the car and dependant on it, constantly pushing for higher MPG, lower emissions, and to remove classic cars from the roads, many automotive enthusiasts from California have sought refuge in states like Nevada, Arizona, and Texas. But today I was reminded why California is such a great place for automotive enthusiasts on a short business trip to the San Diego area to visit clients. After visiting my last shop in El Cajone I started to make my way home on Historic Highway 80, the main freeways clogged with traffic in the late afternoon, I decided to take an alternate route home. Historic Route 80 eventually works it way around to the Highway 79 north. Highway 79 is mostly a winding two lane highway, that takes you through the Cleavland National Forest, the reservations of many Native California tribes, and about million miles from the congestion and crowds that are most peoples vision of Southern California.

Heading North 79 merges for a short time with Highway 78 at the cross roads in Santa Ysabel 78 will take you to Julian a small mountain community known for their apple pies, and tourist attracting antique stores. Santa Ysabel Asistencia the mission for which the town is named is along on the right hand side of the highway, it was established as a outpost of the San Diego Mission in 1818 and the current chapel was built in 1924. Santa Yasbel is also a nice place to stop and grab a bit to eat and one of the cafes along the highway. Along the way you will also discover a NHRA drag strip and a Motorcross track tucked in among the Oak Trees and Farms.
Leaving Santa Yasbel and the road is fairly straight, passing Highway 76 that takes you past Lake Henshaw and on to Pala Casino and Resort. A little further up the road you come to San Felipe Rd, if you have time and you like history you can visit Warner's Ranch that was once a stop on the Butterfield Stage Route, there is little there, so I recommend pushing on north on the 79. About 20 miles or so will take you to the Oak Grove Butterfield Stage Station, about 20 miles to the northwest, is the only surviving building from the stage line, and is also a National Historic Landmark. (
(Photo of Butterfield Stage Stop) In Warner Springs there is a small resort community with golf, a few restaurants and one of the only gas stations along the whole route. There is also a airport that specializes in glider rides and you can many times see a number of gliders floating lazily above the valley as you descend into Warner Springs. Oak Grove is about 18 miles along the route after leaving Warner Springs so if you have a need to visit the Stage Station now is your chance... I stopped to stretch and take some photos. From there the road follows the hills and is headed more west then north, towards the city of Temecula. The first signs of urban sprawl are the mini storage and track homes. It is a good place to stop and get fuel, food, and if you chicken out you can jump back on the 15 freeway and save over an two hours on the trip. Downtown Temecula is like going back in time to the old west, only with trendy shops, yuppies, and bikers everywhere. Now the I-15 is overlapped a major portion of the 79, but if you follow Old Town Front Rd north, that will turn into Jefferson Ave, from there turn Left on to Kalmia St, and then Right onto Washington Ave. Washington then turns into Palomar St and takes you through the city of Wildomar and on to Historic Lake Elsinore by sticking to the Right and on to Mission Trail.
It is hard to believe that Lake Elsinore was once the play place of Hollywood's elite stars. If you follow the lake around the street will change name several times, but just keep as close to the lake as you can until you come to Highway 74. At this point I had to get back on the I-15, however, if you are in the mood for an adventure, you can always turn Left and take the 74 (Ortega Highway) and end up at the Pacific Ocean in Dania Point. Ortega is a epic road and takes you through some amazing mountains and hills. The best part about Ortega is it drops you off on Highway 1 the Pacific Coast Highway. Turn Left San Diego and Mexico, Right Monterey and San Francisco. If only I had some vacation time, I would love to keep on driving around California's best roads.

Should I be behaving like this after rape?
Not that long ago, a few months I got raped after I decided to walk home from a night out clubbing.
I have always enjoyed going out clubbing, wearing short skirts and so on. I have always been very confident. I was attacked by a guy who raped me twice after he dragged me off a road I was walking along and down an alleyway.
Since it happened I have started going out clubbing again. I don't think I should stop living my life because of what happened. Is this some form of denial? I feel guilty sometimes because of what happened. How I was dressed, slightly drunk, walking alone at night...
I can't believe some of the replies I have had. Thank you to those who have been supportive.
My God,Dear...just go ahead with your heart's call and enjoy your life as you did,may be even more than that! You have the right to Sweetie and YOU SHOULD!! We all have some memories-some ecstatic ones that make us smile even when we are all down and broken,and some traumatic ones which adamantly spring back out of nowhere to haunt us again and again.And i hope you would agree with me that its in our best interest to cherish the happy ones and KICK OUT WHAT HURTS US OUT OF OUR MIND! ITS YOUR LIFE AND ONLY YOU SHOULD AND CAN DECIDE WHICH THINGS ARE GOING TO BE THE PART OF YOUR LIFE...BURY THE PAST WHERE IT SHOULD BE AND START AFRESH WITH NEW VIGOUR AND ZEAL!! I suggest you go for a makeover,just a little bit of change in your looks,and keep yourself busy.Go closer to your religion/spirituality(but just for tranquility and peace,dont overdo it) if it helps.Make some new friends,renovate your room a bit and DISCOVER THE NEW YOU!! GO HAVE A BLAST!! And guilty? NO CARELESS ATTITUDE ON YOUR BEHALF,NO PHILOSOPHY,anything is not ENOUGH to justify the heinous,degrading,inhuman and intolerable crime that cursed beast committed on you.HE AND ONLY HE IS GUILTY AND MORE THAN THAT!! He tried to hurt your soul and body and you have to show that YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH!! Living your life normally,and even more beautifully,would be the best slap on his face.GO FOR IT...and if you need further help,mail me.Take care.
Off the grid in upper Swan Creek watershed
Guidebook hikes, great things in and of themselves, are after all, a known commodity. Directions to travel this many miles to see that fascinating feature, return to trailhead by this route. They're fine. We like 'em, we use them a lot.
