Mailed the last post too soon, brain was still in gear.
Where you trained at Yucca, is on the edge of Dutchman’s Flats, and there you will find flat gold, thin ragged sheets almost as big as a dime.
It is over a little closer to the south/west mountains.
LOL you must have missed my note about it - maybe it was a FReep mail about my recollections of Yucca... (I then felt that maybe I had offended when you were telling someone about being a prospector.)
I spent 6 weeks at the foot of Hualapai Peak - kind of NW of Yucca. We were playing war games. That was in 1963 in a training exercise called ‘Desert Strike’.
Lots of rattlesnakes, cactus and even flash floods through those arroyos without a cloud in the sky.
I loved the prospectors converted farm wagon/hovel/all-purpose mule powered vehicles. Perfect bug-out setup. (maybe a little slow though).
Well Granny, I turned into a pumpkin about an hour ago, so guess I better hit the hay.
Look forward to catching up in the morning. Hope the weather breaks there for you.
Ouch! 48 killed in plane crash in Buffalo, NY. about an hour and a half ago...
