Hello from the high desert of Nevada

[jcbrandon]

Howdy, folks-

I just joined the forum and thought I might introduce myself.

I'm J. Brandon; my friends just call me "J." I live in Gardnerville, Nevada, just east of Lake Tahoe and about an hour south of Reno.The main reason I live here is the fantastic access to zillions of acres of public land. I've spent a fair amount of time exploring the Great Basin and the Sierra, as well as the southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and British Columbia. Last fall I took my first trip into Baja.

I came to this forum after seeing a mention on another community forum I frequent of an Eastern Sierra trip, featuring the XP Camper. I hope to see some of you folks on that trip and look forward to getting to know you.

My current backcountry vehicle is a 2007 Dodge Power Wagon crew cab pickup. I've had the truck for just over two years and am very happy with it. It does everything I need it to do.

[Lighthawk]

Welcome J. I head down 395 as often as I can. The East Side is the best!
Now that I've got a FWC camper I should be passing thru more often.

Hey J, You are fortunate to be in NV. It has some good tax laws, lower gas prices than Oregon, no income tax, and a spirit of independence throughout the state. I like the Reno and Winnemuca areas.

Good luck on the job hunt. hint--include a one page philosophy of leadership with your applications. Great people are looking or a few great people to lead others from within their company.
