    Hello from Jim

    Hi there. New member here. Nice to be among you.

    I've been pulling 5ers for over 20 years. Mostly week long treks to Michigan's "Up North" territory where I join a large group of friends for a week or so.
    Since 2017 I've tried to Winter in the desert Southwest (not a fan of Florida). Spent 2017 in 29 Palms CA in a Air B&B just outside the military base while trailer was repaired. I had opened it up like a can of beans by rolling over the base of a former lamp post in a parking lot. What a mess! Made the best of it by frequent visits to Joshua Tree NP. Wow, what a place!

    Took a couple years off when my wife and mother passed away 1 year apart.
    Last year at Quartzite and the "Parker Strip" (the locals call it "13 miles of sin).
    This year I was in Terlingua TX for 3 weeks and currently heading for COE park on Canyon Lake north of San Antonio. If it turns off too cold I'll head South toward Corpus Christi.
    When the weather breaks I'll visit a friend in Fort Worth. Then Hot Springs AR and another friend visit near Hendersonville TN.
    May stop in Goshen IN on the way back home to have Lippert do some axle work. More about that in another post.

    Then home to Flint MI area for the Summer.

    Well that's me so far. Oh, and I have a great traveling companion in Kiki, a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix of 6 years.

    Welcome aboard, Jim - and safe/happy travels.

    PS: I think you have to have a paid subscription (inexpensive and well worth it) to create a signature that will be there every time you post.

    Welcome to the forum. Happy travels. If you get the paid subscription (I think $12/year?) you also get rid of those annoying ads.
