 +Some terms to be aware of:
 +
 +  * trailhead:  an area where people park to go off hiking or riding.  Likely to be quite busy.  Might be a pit [[lifestyle:faq_toilet|toilet]] there. 
 +  * day use:  only for day use (and may require a fee).  No overnight camping.
 +  * OHV area:  **O**ff **H**ighway **V**ehicle area for quads, dirtbikes, UTVs, etc.  You can camp there but noise and dust are in the forecast.

 Arriving in darkness can be stressful.  It may be best to pull over into a temporary spot at night then resume your hunt when the sun comes up.   Arriving in darkness can be stressful.  It may be best to pull over into a temporary spot at night then resume your hunt when the sun comes up.
