    Greetings everyone. Just moved to Augusta from Colorado and thought I should introduce myself. Been on the forums for a while now.

    My truck is '13 DCSB, magnetic grey TRD OffRoad Tacoma. It's been a loads of fun to drive :) and pulled a ~4K lbs trailer the whole way with no issues the except fuel milage was tradgicly low. Around 10mpg I think, still sorting fuel reciepts.

    I am hoping to have as much fun here as I did in the Rockies :)

    Hello to both of you. I grew up out in Evans, Ga and still own a home (now a rental property) in North Augusta. I'll be back visiting family in a couple weeks and would love to meet and BS with my Taco-Brethren!

    Possibly, when will you be in the area, there might be enough people willing to do a meet-up.

    Hey, I should be moving to the Evans, GA area this summer from Atlanta. We will have to keep in touch then. I should be around the area looking at houses soon though!

    I hope so! I live in North Augusta, so I spend a lot of time in the SC thread, but none of those guys are in this area, all Charleston and Clemson areas. I need some locals!!!

    I'm on the south side of Augusta. Been looking around since I got here for off road trails. Limited access would be a light term from what I found so far.

    Yeah I don't know of a single one. I don't or well haven't done any off-roading yet.

    This weekend I am going looking for things like power line roads and county access roads just to see what I can find, but I don't have high hopes...

    Well ... spent all of yesterday driving around south of Augusta. Found some dirt roads, but most were either short (less than a mile) connections between paved roads or private roads. It was a fun but disappointing way to spend a tank of gas ;) I am starting to think I may have to buy a map from the BLM to find a better way to search. Just searching randomly was fun and all, but yielded no real results.

    Nice ride! If you see a Magnetic Grey Taco with Colorado Plates, it's probably me. ;)
