It got to that time of the year again where I look through the vacation days that I still have left available and thing what I can do with them. I must have been working pretty diligently because the total came up to 5!
As a back story, about this time last year I moved out to Portland, OR from Orlando to do software development for future Jaguar Land Rover vehicles, this becomes important in a minute, and immediately after arriving I decided I needed to get away from my Daytona/Sebring prepped cars and get something more offroady and on brand.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I realized. I haven't had much sand between my toes this year. Combine that with a truck that could drive me somewhere and I just traced a line South until I hit Baja.
So there it is, the idea has been set and the office vacation time has been booked. From just over a year ago I've started taking my truck out to more and more places getting some confidence in what it is capable of. I don't have an elaborate drawer system or a roof top tent, hell the truck itself only cost me about $7,000 when I purchased it. I'm hoping that through the process of filling this out I can encourage some more people to take the leap and jump out to do the same.
LETS GO
