Hi, I'm Nick. Just bought a new FJ after abusing my wife's Tucson way too often. I am a local photographer and also work as a Maintenance Controller for an airline here in town. (Finally work in an office overseeing the airline's maintenance operations) Ex cop, husband, and grandfather. :) Also an amateur radio enthusiast that is just getting active again. My call sign is KI4PLC for those fellow hams on the board.

I am originally from the east coast but moved out here after I met the Vegas native that eventually became my wife. Since then, I have become borderline obsessed with photographing the desert and area ghost towns and have been wanting to find ways to incorporate some of that scenery into my fashion photography. I do my best to hike a new trail every week.

This group looks like exactly what I have been looking for!

Nick I think your right! We are the group you're looking for. Old mining camps and ghost towns seems to be what we crave. We are not so much into what are rigs can do, but what we can see along the way. Welcome and I hope to see you soon on the trail!

Welcome to the board. I think you'll find the backroaders a good fit. Please be sure to read the posts in the Club Info forum to find out what we're about and how we do things.

It certainly sounds like the place from what I have read here. I'm not interested in how many dents or scrapes I can put on my truck. :lol: Exploring the history of the area along the backroads is why I'm here.
