i have been a lurker here since dec 2011. i know this is not a great deal of time and my post count is but a bakers dozen, but i have spent many countless hours reading the posts of others. i have taken so much from everyone's knowledge and experience, and now I feel i have gotten to a point where I can give back. i feel as just a neophyte amongst many of you, but do see opportunities to add constructively from my past experiences and the knowledge i have acquired.

for this reason i would like to ask for full membership and the ability to contribute to all of the boards many sections.

thanks
CB

Well dude just start posting in the welcome area for a while and you'll get full access. Post a trip report or two and comment on others reports/threads and it'll get noticed. I was a lurker for about a year before I started posting and I got bumped up after maybe 12 posts.
