    Currently in South Central Kentucky as of a year ago after sever years in nearby Tennessee. Several assignments and years stationed at Fort Campbell in Army Aviation.

    Traded my '17 F150 for a TRD Off-Road with a manual transmission about three weeks ago. Wanted to get back to a mid-size pickup and a manual transmission. Glad to be back with a manual again.

    Every summer I've been going to Colorado and other points in the Rockies and over to Death Valley with motorcycles. This time I am taking the Tacoma for adventuring. This is the blog I've been keeping for adventures with the Honda CRF1000L: https://ridermarcadventureriding.wordpress.com/

    Nothing earth-shattering to add nor anything that hasn't already been posted; so, I'll just keep reading in the background.

    The F-150 of six years and 90k miles being traded for the Tacoma.

    My former '06 Frontier with a 6-speed manual of 11.5 years and 165k miles being traded for the F150.
