If Dorothy had a 4-wheeler, she would have never said that. 4-wheeling is a fantastic activity that gets you out of the house, away from the television set and best of all if your whole family rides, everyone can get out and enjoy the great outdoors on their 4-wheelers.
Skip the Discovery Channel documentary on great National Forests; go explore them yourself on your 4-wheeler.

Smell the air so light and fresh it feels like it will carry you away. A day of riding your 4-wheeler and experiencing the beauty of nature will beat the heck out of sitting on your couch with a bag of chips watching television.
