MI Jeeper at heart...

**USMC 0369** · September 9th, 2007, 10:02 AM

Hey everyone...just thought I'd post up my 'formal' introduction. I'm a displaced Michi-gander while serving in the Corps. My current location is 29 Palms, CA...often referred to as 'the stumps'. Retirement is coming up soon (1.5 years) and I hope to be in the Michigan 4x4 scene very soon.

I'm working on my Jeep(s) right now so not much wheeling to be done from this end for a while.

One benefit I can bring to the table is that the NFS here in California, in conjunction with local clubs and California Off-Road Vehicle Association (CORVA), are light years ahead of the rest of the country on their Trail Development and Conservation Program. I realize that dealing with California's BLM is a might bit different from dealing with Michigans DNR.

Welcome and Congrats!

First off, Thank you for serving. Second, awesome work so far out in the state of California.

Well, it wasn't me doing all that work on California...For a bunch of liberal's they do bond together quite nicely when they're freedoms are being tread upon.

Welcome Aboard. It's good to see you here. I remember when I was stationed out in the stumps. Congrats on coming up on retirement soon.

Hey Nick!

)

Glad to see you made it!

AND THANK YOU

Thanks for the warm reception gents. Yes, it is 'Nick' and I don't mind if you call me that!

I'm looking forward to retirement from the Corps, but as you all know, that's not gonna pay the bills...I hope I can come home to Michigan, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of jobs for a Grunt. I may end up down by Chicago if the Gov doesn't fix things soon.

Who'd have thought that the Governator would do a better job than someone thats tried to be a politician all thier life?
