    Hey everyone.

    I will be re locating to San Jose in the new year.
    Have been a southern california guy my entire life. Plenty of desert down south but trying to figure out a list of locations near northern california that are somewhat similar to Ocotillo Wells or Barstow.

    Here is what my truck looks like:
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/long-travel-suspension/204577-long-travel-biography-4.html Post#64

    Truck will be getting worked on at the beginning of Jan but I do plan on bringing it once it gets completed.

    Looking forward in meeting some of you northern california TWers.

    Thanks,
    David

    I'm living in Santa Cruz for my 4-5yr ride at UCSC. I'm probably the only lifted Radiant Red/black wheels in town, so if you see me wave or honk.
