1st Post for Vallas

Hello Everyone
Vallas here and I look forward to contributing to the CotradeCo communtity. This is my first post here @ CotradeCo
Quick background:
Have lifelong interest in the outdoors ever since I was a young boyscout. Have been camping, skiing, hiking, BackPacking, caving and cliff jumping ever since. I have a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas that may be useful to you. I have been to nearly every major national park and monument in the west, from yosemite in California to Zion in Utah. I have skied every major resort starting with my home Mountain (Mammoth), to Utah Powder, Jackson Hole steeps, Montana isolation and one of my all time favorites, WHistler/Blackcomb in Canada.
If you need any ideas on gear, let me know. If you are planing a trip I can share some secret (off the beaten path) ideas for a quick weekend trip or a full vacation, please feel free to ask.
See you later
Vallas

Howdy Vallas.
I just got back from wandering the South & MidWest. Mostly stayed with Friends & Family but camped at state parks in Missouri and Roswell, NM.
I will definitely be dropping you a line before I hit the road again. I am somewhat new to the camping life, but have been on many adventures. If you hadn’t seen it already, you can read about part of my adventure getting stuck on a rock I really could have used your “off the beaten path” tips. Though I think I did alright the rest of my trip.
Looking forward to gaining some knowledge and hearing some of your stories. If you need anything just ask.
Woof Woof Vallas;
Its me, Max the one and only official; could any Golden be looking any better, cotradecos greeter!
I personally want to give you a big slobbery kiss and say welcome!
We here at the Ol trading post look forward to hearing about your many outdoor adventures.
I remember some of my hiking adventures and camping trips; but that’s another story. Keep a look out for more of my fun loving and excellent adventures. In our Giber Gabber community under outdoor adventures.
Got a run, I got me a squirrel to chase.
I’ve know Marc for several years and he’s shared his pictures of most of his trips as well as some great stories. I’m really glad he is joining up with us as he only takes on the tough adventures. Along the way he picked up a Pelican 9450 RAL so he hasn’t had to change mantels or any of the other things that make using a Coleman Lantern a chore, especially at the end of a long day. With his pop up trailer and the RAL system he just pulls into a camp site and is ready to go in literally minutes. Welcome Marc. Dan

Hi Vallas and Welcome, it is great to have you here at CoTradeCo!! I look forward to all that you have to share! I have to be honest my days of adventure are short lived! As I get older I am liking more and more of the cushy life :) But without a doubt my favorite place in all the world (my happy place) is Sam Mack Meadow in the Sierras, and we are always looking for a quick weekend getaway! We look forward to what you have to share!
