I didn't read all this BUT; too many people, too much sprawl, and I don't care what you are drdiving, you cannot go cross country, and someone else may take you out while you are sitting there waiting your turn. People in some places just don't have the experience to deal with ice rinks, high wind, steep grades, and unusual cold. The days when we could just hunker down by the stove unless we had to milk the cows are long gone.
