Hi everyone! I'm Dylan.

I live in Washington state, but spend a significant time in Utah where my wife's family lives.

I've been participating in different groups and hitting trails for about 4 years. My first vehicle was a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser, and I'm currently driving a 2006 Lexus GX470. Looking forward to meeting new people, and learning new things.

Picture is from the White Rim Road a week ago!

First I want to thank the members for providing an awesome collection of posts. I've done a fair amount of reading here.

We have lived on the Oregon coast for decades. We have always tent camped out of an SUV. Tents worked fine for 40+ years from USA coast to coast, Canada and Baja. We love backroads and primitive camping. I grew up in a camping family and spent 31 years with the USFS fire and law departments.

We retired in 2016 and bought a new LR4. We started camping more often and year round. We were roughing it more than we cared for. After a ton of soul searching we decided to get an off road type teardrop trailer.

We are loving it!
