    Hi all,
    I am part of the retired crowd and am enjoying this next phase in my life. It sure is nice to have days off during the week.
    This week, I had to get out and do some snowshoeing in the Rocky Mountains. Nice quiet relaxed time, I have been a hiker and backpacker for years
    and I am still hiking. Just wanted to share a photo from our trip.

    Cheers 4BYTOY

    Welcome. Thank you for sharing.
    I still camp/and/or backpack every month, not much snow here the last few years for some good snow camping. Just out a couple nights ago.

    The worst part is that we took some funds out of our investments to reduce the loan amount and I'm waiting for one of the checks to arrive. Hopefully it will be here today or Monday. My guess is the truck will be ready on Wednesday or Thursday after prep and installing the accessories I wanted.

    Welcome to the thread Mikey. When I started the thread 9 years ago river_rat69 and I didnt think there would be many folks over 60 with Tacos....boy were we wrong. So grab a rocker or a step and join in.

    Welcome Mikey and yes we are driving the average age of Tacoma owners up.

    I turn 62 in July and yeah, in decent shape but I notice projects when I am low to the ground/floor kick my butt!

    Thanks Guys..My Gal is a retired Pro Triathelete..so I try to stay in shape.I see a lot of older guys in Tacos out in San Diego area-truck just makes sense.We have to factor in Traffic,parking,and running around-along with enjoying our ride.

    We lived up in the Monterey area for about 4 years during my Army career. Loved it - but the traffic whenever we went anywhere else was a pain...until we moved to the Washington DC area and I went to work in the Pentagon. California was a breeze!!
