Sorry, I dont live there and dont know where to go. But we used to see only DORs when we started out. You simply need to travel out further. Find more remote roads and travel those, or maybe hit the roads sooner. The first hour after dark is usually our peak time out here (Cali). I would say travel further. It seems that the further we go from the city, the more we see, and where there is less traffic, we find more alive.

Good luck!
