I didn't really see an introductory area, so I thought I'd post a little intro shpeel here in the general Chit-Chat land. Hopefully that's cool; if not, Mods, if this is the wrong place to post, feel free to relocate this to where it belongs.

Anywho, Hello everyone, I'm Robot Moose, I've been lurking on the board for the better part of three weeks, and finally decided it was time to try and contribute to the community somewhat.
I'm located up near the north coast of the Golden State, I'm here because I love to backpack and hike and would like to share ideas amongst like-minded individuals. Other than that I work full time and attend the local community college toward the goal of eventually getting into the Park Ranger Academy.
