From Wikitravel

Hello, I'm justfred.

I'm from Southern California, raised in El Centro, spent some amount of time travelling in Baja, especially San Felipe (Mexico); and elsewhere.

I arrived at Wikitravel looking for info on a trip I'm taking to China, but it seems a lot of the Southern California/Baja pages are pretty sketchy and it's a big tourist area. So I'll see what I can do about that.

I'm also a private pilot, and have been known to scuba, sail, and snap some pictures. My home site is www.obtainium.org and www.roadsidefurniture.com among others. I'm also a citizen of Black Rock City whenever it's risen out of the desert.

I'm especially interested in expedition-style vehicle travel. I drive a Land Rover, as well as a Pinzgauer and a Haflinger - though not all at once.

I'm also a Wikipedian (same handle) and I'm aware that sometimes in plunging forward I'll step on some toes or screw up; I'm trying to play within the guidelines but also think outside the box where necessary.

Oh, and I come here sporadically, so if you ask a question it may be a while till I get to it.
