Hi I'm Matt, I'm new here but have been around the off-road, camping, overland scene for many years.
I live in La Mirada, CA. That's roughly 20 miles East of Los Angeles and right next to the Orange County line.
I'm currently fast tracking a build of my 2022 4Runner after passing along my well built '14 Jeep JKU to my son
Prior to that Jeep, I've owned a GMC Sierra 4x4, 1st Gen Tundra, Jeep YJ, and a couple of old Scouts. I have done trails all over the Southwest,
Some of favorite trips in recent years have been multi-day trips, one exploring the Panamint Mountains along the West side of Death Valley, The Black Canyon area of AZ where we spent a week exploring trails between Prescott and Phoenix. I do a lot of 1-3 day exploration trips in the local mountains and deserts. Exploring a new area and finding a good trout stream next to a great campsite is about as good as it gets for me.
In the coming year I hope to explore more of Death Vally, and possibly do the El Camino Del Diablo with my nephew, son and brother.
