Hi All,

Location: I'm from upstate/western New York, USA
Rig: I'm currently working on a mild buildup of a 2022 F150. The truck is my daily driver, family hauler and mobile office and the build is going to have to take all of that into account.
Experience: From my late teens through early 30s I traveled a lot as a lumberjack competitor. I camped out of the back of my 1986 Chevy S-10 with a cap and homemade sleeping platform. Also used a pop-up camper, motorcycles, tents, couches, floors, etc. Many great people and experiences along the way. Looking forward to similar adventures and experiences with this truck.

Glad to have found the community!

-Kevin

Thank you! I have a few family and friends in your area (Seattle, Snoqualmie, North Bend). Hoping to get to the area at some point to travel and catch up with family/friends. The closest I've been is Northern California/Redwoods.

-Kevin
I love the Snoqualmie, North Bend area, for sure worth exploring if you ever make it this way. I like to play disc golf and they have a cool course out in North Bend I play often!

Thank you! I was just telling one of the other member that a trip to Washington is high on the list. I have Family and friends in the area and would like to see the state and catch up with some folks.
Awesome, We live about an hour north of Seattle, only about half hour from @Shahn, Let me know if you get up in this area and we would be happy to show you a couple of scenic trails, and maybe cook up some BBQ.

There is nothing I don't like in that plan. Looking forward to getting back into the travel scene. Just drove from NY to VA Beach (all pavement) but took the long way around and stopped at ok4wd in NJ and Main Line Overland in PA to get some ideas stirring. I'm going to try to budget some trail time in central PA on the way home.

...should have also mentioned the same offer back!! No trails around me but PA, VT, NH have some offerings. Not much public land/trails to explore in NY unfortunately. Lots of lakes, farms, wineries, breweries and some pretty good BBQ too
