i lived just south of chicago for a couple years, all flat there, and limited places to offroad.... I had a car but one friend had a 4x4 s10 we sometimes would go out to a place or two and mess around.... I like it back here at home its rolling hills with rivers and streams - and I enjoy (when I get a chance) to go down fishing, and I don't really care for the lakes - too crowded.... So I usually find a private spot near some river or creek and those places are usually semi-back roads down to the rivers - which sometimes is a little adventure....
