Need to stretch your legs a bit? Land on a random dirt road in the middle of nowhere, NV.
Obviously landing on unknown dirt roads can be risky. Over fly first and look for cattle guards, signs, mile markers and washboard surface (avoid landing on a grade where washboard is common). You probably would want some dirt strip experience first. On takeoff DON’T throttle up until your rolling along to avoid sucking gravel up into your prop. Ouch!

Gutsy! No FAA 50 ft trees to worry about! How do you decide where to touch down? No snakes?
