Outdoor Adventure USA

Hi folks, I was just made aware of this forum and joined after perusing some threads and enjoying the laid-back attitude.

I am 55 years old and have been adventuring since my mom let me take my first solo overnight bicycle camping trip when I was 12. At 17, I took off with my dog & girlfriend for South America in a 109 IIA Land Rover... But due to a head on collision with a logging truck in the deep out back of Costa Rica (slow speed, no injuries), I only made it as far as Panama. I ended up spending the next 5 1/2 years "bumming" around Central America, surfing, exploring, a couple of business ventures , Central America in the mid and late 70's was a FRICKEN LOAD OF FUN.

After coming home I started a business (that I still own) and then due to the time constraints, my adventures were limited to long weekends pioneering mt. bike trails in northern Baja, and a couple of multi-week trips down to the tip or the main-land.

Fast forward to the new millenium, and my business had changed into being a "one man show", and I purposely trained my clients to accept that I will in the out-back of Baja (and out of contact) for 5-12 weeks a year. Last year I spent just under 9 weeks in Baja.

Lets face it... Life is too short to not adventure.

Kind regards

Joaquin
