Sure was! I still remember that scene where they are looking for their sheriff friend and come across that first giant ant hill and see this soldier ant come out with their friends gun belt in its mandibles and drops it on a pile of bones! Black and white-don't make 'em like that anymore! Smoke

Reminds me of that beginning part of that great old classic "Them (the giant radio active ants)"-ya know where they come upon that wrecked trailer out in the desert and the bent 30-30 rifle with all those tumble weeds blowing around and that weird music. Hey RONR-better not go to Mexico by way...

My first thought was an antenna base of some type or maybe a base for one of those wind vanes that spin around and measure something or provide power. Flag pole does sound good too-ya know like to mark a command vehicle of some type :wacko:! Smoke

Wow Jim-what good questions and I don't know the answers. I'm trying to remember what the presentations put out by the makers say about things like that! I know that when you do a test shot as they suggest you do when you first get one, that the spray stream feels strong and at 30 feet I just...

Life can be funny sometime! This morning I got my latest issue of "Strategy&Tactics Magazine. As I was flipping through it I stopped at an article about Ceasar and his famous Roman 10th Legion and right there as a part of the article was a picture of Ben Franklin with the following caption...

Nice! Smoke

Sure looks allot different( no people and snow) and quieter than when we were there for the shindig last summer :D ! glad you and the dog had a good time! Smoke

Then there were those for whom maps and GPS were not needed because they knew the area-been wondering out there for ever and never needed no maps to get to where they were going :wacko: (And one of my favorite stories) ! A while back there was a dude type ranch west of Gerlach Nevada, and as...

3X-sometimes it's hard for those of us who live and or play in the "wild back country" on a regular basis to understand how many people have not had those same experiences and have an understanding or awareness how to do it and survive. Smoke

First it was electric windows. Still glad my old "99" F150 4x4 is still running fine!! Smoke

More of that sinking feeling you get when you realize "you blew it"! What is the advise we give everyone-every year-You never-ever drive off road (and sometimes on road) in that country during the wetter parts of the year-especially by yourself. Hey, Mark BC maybe its time to post your famous...

3X- Smoke

Really enjoyed that guys, have not been down the road to Needle Rock for years .! Say how was the Briceland road anyway ? Camp ground fees are something else at Ca State Parks, so on to Oregon. Smoke

I'm like Cayuse-this year has been my fewest camping days since I bought my set up in 2005! Best I can figure is about 18 days out and about-and I'm retired too. One of the main reasons has been the unstable weather, my old dog "Bob" being sick so much of the time and (maybe a sign of the...

Come on guys-all he needs is a few tires and gas cans as a little counter weight on the front and roof, a boat on the top to flatten it out a bit and a boat to pull and he's ready to go to Death Valley :wacko:! Smoke

2X. I've spent to many years advocating the ideas of multi use of public lands, the BRC seems to suggest a much more one sided use. Smoke

JaSan, out here in the high basin, we have the same problem (as in all of the west). Corporations are buying up those old ranch lands, then fencing them off and closing the public from public lands on the other side. At least if someone like the NC buys it up and then works with the local...

Yep, several; the first one as just south of Sac on I-5 in my 70 VW with M/S tires. No problem getting her to the side of the road; however even though I had a 4 way lug wench I could not break the lug nut free no mater what I did (maybe that should be the the star of its' own thread?)! This...

Yep, that rig, this site and your pal will allow you to, as we retired folk like to say, "can follow your nose and see where that road goes :wub: and take some time and smell the flowers"! Welcome aboard and have allot of adventures! Smoke

Boy Bill, after a morning of shoveling snow and pulling in the garbage cans :wacko: , it was sure nice to come inside and play with your Tr. Sure wish I was there camping in the aspens and looking at old ghost towns with you instead of moving snow around (although my border collie, Timber...

Good trip Ski, enjoyed your TR. You know your trip to Manzanar made me remember when I was a kid growing up in Sonoma, California. Part of my family job was to walk down a couple of times every week to Matzeama's local corn field/store during the harvest time and get a bag of corn for dinner...

Snow here too! My bone-in Turkey breast has thawed out and ready to go in soon. Speaking of turkeys, get reminded of T-Day almost every day because we have a flock of wild turkeys that lives up on the hill I hike on every day I'm home. And every day they join the usual local deer herd(s)...

Tuesday we are supposed to get snow here in the northern part of the east side (for the 2nd time this year)-where did Fall go? It seems like one day it was hot and sunny, then in one fell swoop all the leaves fell and I had to get the poach wood pile ready in case we lose power. I don't about...

Good to see you out and about and I bet Riley was glad too! Boy I can understand when the body parts start to show wear and tear (using the heater allot more is also a tell-tail sign)! Have not been up 108 for years, thanks for ride along B)! Smoke

Now that is how to use that pop-up properly-a great fishing adventure :D ! Smoke
