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).

I remember that you were stationed at Yucca, but don’t recall anything that was offensive to me, the truth is damned big rattlesnakes and lots of them, flash floods and so hot you can’t breathe and in the winter so beautiful and healing that you want to stay.

But no worse than the Wellton area.

I tried to move there 3 different times and every time, the deals fell through and on the last one, there was something strange with it and I would still be fighting the greenies and BLM.

I was sure that if I had a burro, I could find all that I was missing as Bill drove by all the spots that I wanted to stop.
