Lanny's Book

[Lanny]

Well, at long last the book has started. I never realized how many stories I had filed away or how many stories I've posted over the years on the Internet, and it's a bit of a slog to get things organized, but it's coming together. As for how long it will take, I don't know, but I may have to release my stories in different segments as I can't see how I'll get them all in one book.

All the best to those of you lucky enough to chase the gold in warmer locations (I only get into the desert seasonally for short bursts of time during our northern winters), but I love chasing the gold in the desert, and I love the rich history of mining I find there.

The most recent hunts have been in Nevada, and Nevada is absolutely amazing its rich mineral deposits right from the bottom (by California and Arizona) to the top (California, Oregon, Idaho).

Lots and lots of places to look for gold in Nevada, and it's also easy to hop over to California and Arizona as well while I'm wintering in the bottom part of the state of Nevada.

All the best, and good luck with finding the gold,

Lanny

Good for you Lanny. I have read many of your adventures on one or two forums over the years. You are very gifted with the pen, or should I say keyboard.

All the best of luck to you.

Great News! 

Ive always enjoyed your stories, and it will be great to be able to reread the old stories that were on The Alaska Gold Forum. 

When the time comes, please do let us all know when and where it will be available.

Thanks,

Thanks Mike, I'm finally writing it!

I'm not writing another general purpose how-to book on finding gold, just a book of my stories and adventures while out chasing the gold. But in the stories are lots of tips and tricks people can use on how to find gold, as well as some strange and amusing things that have happened while I've been out getting the gold.

All the best Mike,

Lanny

Glad you are making the plunge. It's a big undertaking isn't it. Putting it together can be simplfied in Quark Express or InDesign. Congratulations Lanny.

Kodiak, I sure do appreciate your comments, many thanks.

I'll be sure to post when it's done, but as this is my first attempt at a book, I have no end date yet, but it's been lots of fun looking back at my first stories when I got serious about getting the gold. My brother-in-law was responsible for my original case of gold fever when I was just a kid (12), but I wasn't serious about prospecting until the mid 1990's. Since then, I've had lots of interesting times, learned what to do and not to do, and yet, I'm still learning!

All the best, and thanks again,

Lanny

Greg, I hope you'll enjoy the stories and find some use for them in helping you find some gold in the future.

Thanks again, and all the best,
