Chain Dogg asked that I bring this old post over from RV.NET. You can see that I've abandoned it there, but maybe we can revive it here. Feel free to post your spots. I'll try to maintain it here

Hey folks...
I won't even try to take credit for this, but I've had this info in my "favorites" for a long time.. I figured I'd share.. I make no claims to how accurate any of these are, but the dozen or so I've used were spot on..
Please feel free to add to it with your favorite spots. If you have coordinates to the spot, I'll add those to this list. This will make finding the spots with tools like Google Earth much easier. I will do my best to modify it and add riding spots as they are posted to this thread.
If everyone agrees, I will organize this by region. I could list them by state, but that didn’t seem right to me (read: too much work)…As of now, I will create to following regions: Southwest, Northwest, North Central, South Central, Southeast and Northeast. Our neighbors to the North and South will each get one region (I will add more as spots are posted.) Canada and Mexico
This map is a good reference for the regions..
