Greetings from San Diego; from a Denver, Colo. native.

Hello all and thanks for having me on this great site, in this great group. Thanks to the Moderator and SDNative for saying hello.
My name is Gary. I'm 30. I arrived in San Diego in April 1999 with the U.S. Marines. I served till '05 in Marine Air Group 11 as an F-18 mechanic (Seat Shop/AME). After that I moved to Pacific Beach, began taking sailing lessons, and in 2008 graduated from City College's Automotive Technician Course. Since then I've worked on my cars a bit, and done lots of sailing. I crew on other people's boats.
I have no 4x4, only (too often) 1 wheel-drive cars, a Civic and a Datsun 240Z. The Civic has seen lots of dirt, is predisposed to go into 1WD mode at inconvenient times, and likes to get stuck! I value even 2WD now, not to mention 4.
I'm hoping to meet some locals, and join them for a trip. I'm looking at Summerfest, so if you have room for a rider, please contact me. I have an open schedule and am available weekdays--a good way to avoid trail congestion. I hope to get a few adventures under my belt here in Calif., before permanently moving back to Denver later in 2010.
Bye for now! --Gary
