Hey guys, new guy here from Plano, TX. I moved from San Diego to Plano about 3 years ago, and I am really missing the 4-wheeling that was abundant in Southern California. The DFW area is just terrible for 4-wheeling and especially overlanding/camping. I can't stand the designated spot camp grounds packed with strangers a few feet away, that's not how camping is supposed to be! For wheeling, it's seems you're pretty much stuck with pay-to-play OHV parks if you don't want to drive out of state. Not sure how much longer I'm sticking around Texas, the wife and I have been tossing around the idea of moving to Colorado. We'll see...
I've been building (and repairing... mostly repairing) my rig for a few years now. It's a 2006 Ford Ranger FX4. I originally wanted to do a crawler build, but lately I've geared the build more toward overlanding instead. The adventure aspect is much more intriguing, and my wife and I both love camping. I've wanted to do the Mojave trail for years, but it just never happened. I was never really prepared for a multi-day excursion, and trying to talk my friends into it turned out to be a difficult task (life always gets in the way...). It's still on my bucket list, and hopefully I'll be able to do it some day, or at least some similar adventures.
Anywho, I'm looking forward to meeting some other members and getting out on the trail.
PS, I'm taking a short trip back to San Diego for a few days, so if I don't respond to this thread over the next few days, I didn't disappear!
-Bobby
