Before the advent of roadways and drive-thru liquor stores, any successful vehicle was required to tread over all terrains. Lament the devolution of motored transportation with a return to your roots. For $70, you get a three-hour-long ATV ride (a $140 value) with Chatsworth ATV Rentals, located in Columbus, NJ, about 70 miles southwest of the city. In order to ride, a security deposit of $250 is required to ensure that riders can pay for parts and labor of a damaged vehicle.

All-terrain vehicles combine the best elements of motorcycles and golf carts into a stable, four-wheeled adventure machine. Due to the ATV's ability to glide effortlessly over harsh terrain, it has been a long-held favorite of farmers, hunters, and post-apocalyptic desert-dwellers. Over the years, ATVs have caught on as recreational sport vehicles. Chatsworth owns 16 acres of land to put rental ATVs through their paces, including two separate tracks and trails for fast-paced riding. Although a motor is doing much of the ambulation, riding an ATV challenges the body and mind by requiring the full attention and physical weight of the driver to safely control the vehicle's twists, turns, and triple axles. Your ATV rental includes helmet, goggles, gloves, and boots, and you are required to wear long sleeves and long pants (if you forget, you can rent long sleeves or pants for $5 per item).

An ATV adventure is an off-the-beaten-horse way to celebrate birthdays, bachelor parties, and bat mitzvahs, and even makes for a fun way to bond with an emotionally distant yoga teacher. There's nothing like the feel of engine-bursts rumbling through tightly gripped handlebars to burn away stress and workday doldrums. Spend three hours outside the city galumphing over an excitementscape of excitement, putting heart-cockles and adrenaline nodes into fits of desperately needed delight.
