Looking for some decent places to take the buggy out. currently have one buggy in Peoria AZ and one in Seattle WA.

At present looking for places not too far from Peoria AZ. I do not have a tow vehicle so needs to be within reasonable driving range.

Anyone?

When I lived down there 15yrs ago I just drove north until the road stopped then just explored around the area on the dirt roads. Unfortunately all the areas I had alot of fun at is all houses now.

Maybe north on 83rd ave untill its just desert? Construction on some expensive homes started in that area right before I left though. Other side of the mountain off Carefree Hwy? I had just started exploring west of Sun City before I left so dont know that area very well.

Best part of a buggy down in that weather is just drive untill you find dirt and just explore!

You could try I think its called Baja Bugs in AZ on facebook?

I live 100 miles north of Seattle and drive everywhere in my buggy in the summer........well........April-October...
Our favorite from our house is Highway 20 to Winthrop and if we have a 4 day weekend we love going ever to the Ellensburg-Cle-Elum area which is not far from Seattle.
There are some nice drives out there particularly the old Vantage Highway from Ellensburg to The Columbia river I-90 crossing.

We also like to go to Prosser for some wine tasting.....there is some beautiful country out there to drive through.

Airfield Winery is our favorite...

Actually anywhere in Eastern Washington is nice in the summer.
