Hello Everyone!

[quietman]

Hi! I just learned about this site, and after poking around a bit I
joined. I grew up in Orange County, getting out to the desert
as often as possible since 1975.

I get out still as much as I can, and especially love Baja as well as
the Southwest. I also love the Mountains and my home state of
Michigan.

Here is a short video from my last weekend adventure:

I use a 2m radio a lot with my friends when out exploring, and
am always wanting to learn more, and meet new friends.

Thanks.

Thanks Larry.

I found out about this site because of the MojaveTrail Run being posted to the "Ford Truck Enthusiasts" site.

I may be out there hunting that weekend, and if I can I will try and meet up with the group.

My call sign is N7626.

I have a collection of adventures at my home page and on youtube, I put a link up.

Hope to see ya'all!

Hey John, that was me who posted about this run on FTE. I know lots of the guys have bigger trucks, and i knew they would find this run interesting since weve discussed it on FTE in the past. Glad to have you here!!!

Big Dave-

Thanks!

I have a Pathfinder myself, and used to have another one, love
those things...

I also used to have an early Bronco. Went e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.

really.

Now I have a big family (5 kids) and the Excursion is the ticket.

...and will go suprising places if you don't sweat dings and dents.
