UT Dave Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 For sure! The wind is my ancient enemy. Wind and mud. My two least favorite elements. Gotta go when I can go though. So I'm going! Hopefully I find my first speck of gold with the Manticore. Looking forward to it regardless of weather or finds though! - Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently pouring in Carson City. If you ever get stuck in northern NV post on 775 Off-road or NV4x4 on FB. People go above and beyond to rescue people that are stuck. They are pay it forward groups. No $ for the help. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Dave Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 We have a couple similar groups in my area of operations. One is pretty formal, on FB, so I've never been there, but know a lot of the members - Utah Offroad Recovery Team. The other is totally informal, just a loose collaboration of offroad guys that keep in touch. Those guys have driven close to 300 miles each way to rescue me. By bringing a trailer. Twice... And one of the times, stopped at my buddies house on the way home and welded in a complete repair so I could drive my Jeep the rest of the way home from there. The other time, I had to use my ham radio to make a contact that relayed a message and coordinates and the next day the calvary arrived in the complete middle of absolute nowhere with parts and a trailer, but turned out the parts weren't enough so it was good the trailer was there. Have dropped everything to reciprocate anytime I've been able. To include driving all night in a blizzard towing a car hauler. No such adventure spice this weekend. No gold either. And a lot of bad weather. But had a great time just the same. Roads went from dusty dry to mud to partially dry then to snow covered while I was out there. - Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I think you have the piece of brass to thank for finding that nugget! Congratulations though, a beauty of a nugget and more proof it really pays to dig it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
