Hello Stephen, welcome to Overland Bound. If you have never been to the Utah/Arizona area then I would suggest the canyon lands, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon and especially the North rim of the Grand Canyon. Lots of other places depending on what you enjoy doing. If mountains are your “cup of tea” then try the narrow gauge train between Durango and Silverton in Colorado.

Hi Stephen and welcome to Overland Bound!

Greetings from Norway,
Bjoern
 
Greetings, all, the name's Andy. My username is a loving moniker given to me some 20 years ago by a fraternity brother. Though I'm no longer that 6'4", 300+ lb, suspender wearing college kid, this is the nickname that stuck from the bevy of call signs.

1) Ol Blue Eyes.jpg
2) Born, raised, and currently raising my own family in Missouri City (Sienna) on the Southwest side of Houston, TX.
3) 2017 Ford F250 6.7L PowerStroke. We call her Ol' Blue Eyes.
4) Novice, here! Growing up, we spent every weekend out at my grandparents' ranch and spent many family vacations camping at state parks around Texas (Ol' Blue Eyes pictured above out at the ranch). A few of my favorite places on earth are Arrowhead Pool, inside Pedernales State Park, and sunrise on the Comal River in New Braunfels (before the madness starts). Before kids, I was an avid triathlete and I still adore endurance sport. I'm always threatening to come out of retirement (seemingly idle threats). I love being outdoors, even in the Texas heat, and look forward to some wonderful trail running adventures with my rig. But, more than anything else, my wife and I look forward to creating lasting memories with our young kids and old siblings @Demon4x4.
