Not as hard to keep clean in Texas as it was in Georgia, that red clay stains whatever it touches. Main problem around here is all the limestone, tires pick up lots of little pieces and bounce them of the underside. Wheelin is scarce around here, very little public land, have to pay to play. Same thing with doing a little target practice. Trying to find someone that owns some property and likes to shoot as much as I do, and become good friends with them. Have a friend in Georgia that owns 100 acres that lies in a valley and could not be more perfect for target practice, dead flat for 120 yards, then a gentle rise for another 300+ yards with a tall ridge for a natural backstop.

Come on up here! Almost 2/3 of the state is public land, or at least publicly accessible, and outside of the "special" human reserves, most everyone owns a firearm even if they don't shoot on a regular basis. Hell, my boss's boss made us hamburgers tonight for a kickoff celebration and the first thing she asked me was "been shooting lately? ".
