I just joined yesterday. Thought I would throw another pic into the mix. I am from california, mother lode country, May of 09 will be a year for me in this wonderful hobby. I also like to gold pan, hike, dirt bike, spend as much time in the great outdoors as possible, and I am currently learning to snowboard. Just got me a board. woo hoo. hopefully when I save enough money I will be able to learn how to scuba dive as well. heard it was great for mding. ok enough of me here i am in arizona on good ole route 66. and an aweful closeup i had to take myself lol.
