“garbage strewn wasteland” works for me.
At least it’s free.
I hear ya. I use a nice range ($6 buys you as much time as you like), but I'd love to be able to go out in the desert, problem is, the county banned shooting on open county land that isn't city, reservation, or federal land. The federal land abutting the open county land is also off-limits. So, the $6 isn't too awful bad to go to a place where I can enjoy my day.
