Hi everyone. Travis here from central Illinois. I truly hope you guys really mean that it doesn't matter what I drive! Currently I'm driving a 2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude.

I've been camping and enjoying the outdoors since I was a little kid but now I'm trying to venture out a little bit more and see what adventures I can find. I really look forward to talking to all of you and picking your brains on the many questions I'll have along the way!

Hey Travis, Lee from Idaho. Welcome, and it looks like you are a Jeep guy. We won’t hold that against you. Ha! Many would say you are ahead of most of us non-Jeep owners. Lots of knowledge here. We look forward to seeing on the forum and possibly on the trails...

There's nothing wrong the the patriot lol. I didn't take mine hard ore rock crawling but I put it through its paces and it handled everything quite well. Unfortunately it was written off so I have a compass trailhawk in its place.
The main this as long as you can get out and enjoy yourself, it really doesn't matter.

Hey Travis, great to see another central Illinoian on here. Maybe we can get together sometime (after this hot spell! lol). I'm not too far from you. (Lovington).
