Colorado wrecker, does your user name implicate that you work at a wrecking yard?

Wow! Most people are relocating too Florida! Not the opposite from Florida too Colorado!
My daughter decided she wanted a change and she bought a townhome in Panama city beach about 1.5 miles from the beach. Its been a eventful summer for us.

I'm sure you are going to like it here!

Wow I lived in Panama City, in the cove on st Andrews bay for over 20 years.
oct 2018 hurricane Michael, I stayed in our home
Cat 5 very scary. I am divorced now kids grown and live a whole different life. Sad, but I do love it here.
Perfect for xj, I went to yankee hill and it was amazing.

My Xj is needing some love right now. But you have to know, you have landed in probably the very best state in my opinion to explore on a budget. Most of these trails are going to be accessible for a very long time and if you have multiple days to explore and can set-up a decent way to camp you will see some of the best vista's, wildlife, natural beauty the world has to offer right in our back yard (so to speak).
My favorite area is down by Ouray/Silverton/Lake City/Telluride. Had a trip planned for my wife and I last June but as we drove to Buena Vista to stay and camp on the way there my clutch/Transmission started acting up. So we had to turn around and head home instead of heading the rest of the way to Ouray. I have made several trips down there with buddies to scout the trails before exposing my wife to something to terrifying for her. I guess I'll have to shoot for next year.
Another thing I find extremely fun is the couple of times I go winter wheeling. (Usually every new years day I put together a official run for our local club). But I would like to camp up there more often. Cause there it's so beautiful to camp in the back country in the snow.
Once my rig is back together we might want to get together and run a few trails. I have a few buddies with Xj's that want to go and the 4x4 club will welcome you with open arms too. (Especially if you want to get out a lot). Runs are posted nearly every weekend and sometimes weekdays as well. With this group you can organize your own run and try and garner interest from other members. They are really great people to associate with.
If you want me to PM you the info on the club let me know. There is no monthly fees or anything like that. (It runs on donations, if you feel you can contribute $5-$25 annually the donation board is activated twice a year). But not required. The only requirement is to participate at least once a year in a 4x4 trail run. And that's basically the only time we get together (at the trail head) unless we get together to work on rigs or your friendship goes beyond running trails. I have been a participate for about 8 years now.
I hope you enjoy Colorado as much as I do, I have basically lived here all my life.
