sure glad i dont wheel with the likes of you arizonans often.
up here we start our trails at 12-noon (why else spend hundreds of dollars on offroad lights)
I have no off road lights...winter days are short, trail is loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg, and its much easier to set up camp when there is light. Plus I get cranky when I get hungry and I plan on grilling some nice steaks!
