Finally made it over!

[gtrainor21]

What's up everyone? Been meaning to jump on here for a while now, I'm Greg... I currently live in southeastern AZ though I've spent quite a bit of time in southwestern CO, so those are the areas I'm more familiar with. Hoping in time to do some more wheeling in southern CA and maybe meet up with some of the members here in the process! I'll try and post up details on my current rig and other builds I plan on starting as I figure things out around here.

I spend most of the winter wheeling months in Glamis on my dirt bike usually, summer months I take my 91 K5 Jimmy up to my parents place in Ouray CO and wheel around there, Telluride, Silverton, etc. I just got back from a trip from Glamis and KOH for my second year last week (totally spacing his name at the moment but met one of the BLGT guys while I was at KOH and he gave me the final push to come on over).

Cheers guys!

Thanks! After cruising around the forum the past couple nights I figured it was Wally that I met in Geoff's camp.

Something to be said about that post KOH struggle bus... pain is temporary, stories are forever. That's why we keep going back for more!

Absolutely! I was thinking about it the other night actually, so I'll start a Ouray trip thread here shortly. I try and get up there at least twice a summer, if we can get something organized that would be bitchin

Yes it would...

It's been 4-5 years since I've been out there and itching to get back. My family hasn't been either so I've been wanting to make something happen.

Here’s a few pics to share for now! I have family from western CO and I lived the majority of the past 8 years in Ouray while working around the state. Most of these pics are around the San Juans... ouray, silverton, telluride, lake city. I have so many pics of the area, but it wouldn’t do justice.
