Sure got that right Steve! Gee, 50 years ago, I'd been out of the Army for a while, worked some and had just taken the big step of going to school to get my BA on the GI bill. Those were the days B) ! Smoke

Craig- My sister/brother-in law live up in the Pasco, Wa area, and say that the state pretty much shut down everything including boat launches, parks, cg's and just about everything, so make sure you check the web site before you go . I should note that most of the state CG's are pretty good...

One man's etching is another man's worthless graffiti ! One of the major problems we always had as practicing field archaeologists was defining just what is/was an "prehistoric or historic " resource (Ant. Act of 1906) and "if" something is, "is it protected by law (National Historic Act of...

Unfortunately, there are allot more of those "types" out and about, especially now that most of those who try to protect those same resources except for LE and some resource protection specialists have been furloughed! While some of them are just plain vandals, or do it without thinking...

Yep-they are great planning documents too! Thanks! I wonder how much money I've spent over the years at PublicLands.Org and the USFS map store.Gov. buying maps to trace your TR's?----keep it up! Smoke

Yep, Monte, some people just don't care as long as they can do THEIR thing and not worry about the rest of us--but that has always been a problem. Boy, it was so beautiful out on my walk, & it sure was hard to not just keep walking and not come back home -_-! Even saw an unknown to me pop-up...

Boy, lot's of noise here about the possible closure of the east side trout season-Susanville just called off the local kids yearly free fishing day. I guess the Calif Fish and Game Commission is having a meeting today to discuss the problems (mainly non-locals coming up here and bringing...

Yep-maybe fewer spam phone calls, but both snail mail and e-mail Covid related stuff seems to be over loading both my mail and in boxes! Smoke

Getting ready to walk the dog in the snow-only a heavy dusting here last night but still some scattered snow showers going on. My road is slippery and the main problem is making sure to hug the sides of the road to be able to dodge those few vehicles out and about but going to fast down my...

Ted, I'm so glad you are still trucking long! Ya have not yet met my new dog.Timber she ;isn't like old Bob, but she wants to meet you and your better half. We will beat this stuff and hit the woods---soon! Smoke

Well, since winter seems to have returned to the High Desert, time to break out that stable and my go too meal-red beans and ham hocks. All you do is put a good pot on the stove (or camp stove, fire etc), turn it on low, put in some ham hocks (shanks, cut up ham or what ever you have handy)...

Yep-stay home! As hard as it is, the fewer people out and about the better off the land and it's resources will be when we get to go back! It is so easy to think-especially if you live in a place like Susanville-an hour or two (or 10 minutes) an and i can be out in the Sheldon or Hart Mtn and...

Big snow storm due in here this weekend-yep must be Spring! And I was just getting used to sitting on my deck in the sun with a good book and a beer again :rolleyes: ! Smoke

Boy, I'm almost afraid to see what to see all the damage that will be done to our public lands by the time things open up,again! Just remember what happened during the last shut down a few years ago! "When the cat goes away the mice do play". Smoke

A hint perhaps. Craig- now you can stay instead of having to run back to Sac all the time, right in the middle of an adventure. When things open it may be time for Riley to meet my Timber Dog for an adventure or two! Retirement is great!!! Smoke

Nice TR John, wish me and my dog, Timber, were there too! Yep, enjoyed the food, the fun, the photos and the dog! Smoke

Yep, ya got that right Ski, from what I hear from my old contacts, allot of people who usually never play out there (legally that is ) are out there now. Remember how during the last govt shutdown all the damage that was done, sort of like when the cat was away the mice do play! Same thing is...

Yep-real nice-wish I was there! Smoke

Back to snow here after a few days of sun and melting snow,-still to cold/snowy to try to cook outside! A few years ago seems like a little snow and some cold weather would have not stopped me-must be getting old or something! Speaking of being out side-no matter what the weather is, my...

Does she help with the raking :D too? Smoke

Ain't retirement grand gang-and a trip to my old neck of the woods to boot (and Plineys too)! Hey "the Teds" you need a snow plow up here to go look for our favorite local wolf pack right now because we are having a real winter again-but keep it on your bucket list, They are still doing good...

Marty-you should have stopped by that cafe over in Adel Or (like I told you too), and found yourself a nice rancher women on your way home from the Shelden NWF, a while bac; could have put your shop there. Anyway, we will get thru this, in the mean time, must be a nice shaggy dog somewhere in...

As long as we still have the "net", using this site as one of the many possible travel aids is a must. Even tho most of us travel prepared for the worst heading out to the boonies thru here is probably not a good idea I was going out to the Sheldon WLR and I am glad I waited because Ma Winter...

Hey-we are back up and have power again-the local co-gen geothermal plant came on line and wonders never cease Lost power around 930 or so, when the one PG&E power line that usually supplies most of NE Calif was was cut (part of the wonders of living here) somewhere in the Feather River...

Just watched that movie "the Revenant" to get ready for what ever :P ! Lot's of snow here in the high desert on the east side and have plenty of vodka, beer, wood and beans to last me! Maybe a foot or so fell here last night-still snowing like the old days. They say this is supposed to last...
