Hey everybody. I already introduced myself in the member introductions, but I figured I'd start a new thread. I'm Christopher and I live in N Las Vegas, NV. I have a 2017 VW Alltrack and a 2004 Land Rover Discovery. Honestly, the VW has seen more offroad duty than the Land Rover as of late. I mainly stick to service roads, I am not all that into rock crawling so my VW has been fine. I love my LR but.... it does take some work to keep it running happily. I only have 62k miles on it, bought it new, but age has played a part and there are some minor issues like the 4 amigos that I am in process of resolving. The 3 amigos are common but I guess I am special and have a 4th. I don't really have any plans for any upgrades for a few reasons. Needs to fit in the garage, I just don't have the funds, and more importantly, with some good tires, it fits my needs. I can only have so many expensive hobbies and photography took precedence. Basically I use my vehicles to get me to places that I want to photograph. Ghost towns, abandoned places, wildlife, cool geological features, etc. I did recently start a youtube channel so now I have video production to document my adventures and promote my photography to add to the list. So I have been to a lot of reasonably accessible spots but now I have an urge to drive further into the desert and being a solo traveler, it's becoming outside of my comfort level to travel alone so that's the main reason for me joining. Go see cool places with cool people and not die lol Whelp, that's enough rambling for today. I am on the 'gram so feel free to add me @chrisjbfoto as I am on there way too much.

Thanks
