Thanks Randy, let's see what happens next.

Like unk said, amazing craftsmanship.... I know there are lots of folks who are creators or enjoy seeing what other creative folks are doing and your candid and low key airplane building saga is something many would enjoy.... I for one would enjoy a video tutorial on the welding process you used, a little cutting, fitup, prep, and torch work... Those are skills few have... The hinge construction, banjo bolts, etc.... Then there is all of the wood werkin stuff, and not to mention the vwenstein power source... Not necessarily self promoting but it might be fun and educational for others.. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Jeff

Nice work on the banjo bolts Dave, necessity being the mother of invention etc. etc.... Seriously great stuff and thanks for letting all of us tag along!

suave remolque fer certain.....

Happy Happy to you amigo!!

Posted 27 minutes ago Heads up. I have to go out of town to pave a road in the Yaak. A stretch of 5.5 miles and I will be back in 2.5- 3 weeks. when i get back I should have earned enough to finish off whats left of the printing cost, as I will be making federal davis bacon wages, and 14 hrs a day 6 days a week. My company won't cover anyones rooms and I will not waste my hard earned money on hotel room fees, so I will be camping along the Yaak river road for 3 weeks. There are 25-50 Grizzlies in the Yaak so it will be hair raising each night. The Yaak is said to be the last wildest place left in the lower 48. When I got up there for the first 2 days, I could see why. My supervisor found me a nice spot to camp along the Yaak river which when I got there realized was smack dab in the middle of old gold mining tailings. There is nice bedrock along the river. There wasn't alot of good gold found in this river, so I will be leaving my detector at home. I have to pack enough food and water for three weeks as I will be the only one staying on the job site without leaving for the full 3 weeks. I got to try out the 5thops perimeter trip alarm and it works very well. I will feel better knowing that if a grizzly comes into my camp he will be tripping off 1 million scoville of Ghost Pepper powder dispersed in a giant cloud around my camp. I won't be doing any prospecting as I hear some people are geeting strange rashes from digging in the dirt and gravels up there. I know the area is covered in mica also know as vermiculite (espestos), and also Uranium is another primary mineral in the ground there. These two elements could explain the strange rashes. When I get back I will update everyone on the total reached. I have to leave in a couple hours, so if anyone on here also goes onto nuggetshooter forum please post this on there as I am still trying to pack my gear and don't have time to post any more today. thank you everyone.

Yep, and big buzzards too... Oh no, bird strike on #1 engine and wind screen! Quick, long arm reach around with the windex and rag, don't forget to fly the airplane.... Busy now... Egads, what would Sully do? Amazing work Dave, much respect for your skills.

Cholla cacti at LSD is very easy for a human or dog to tangle with. Painful and time consuming to rectify....

Truck and Trailer gone, Thank you for looking!

Many good points here, I too found gold in Holcomb Valley many years ago. <> Human time, not geological time as in epochs or some such thing. Generally I have found insights offered here by some members to be worthy of serious consideration. I know Adam for example is a respected fellow in the arena of sniffing out placer gold deposits as is his pal Wade I think, and that Bedrock fellow from NM also is a wise and cunning fellow, he has probably forgotten more about iron meteorites and ironing boards than anyone on these here forums, not many NASA veterans on here. ... I would urge you to be open to the insights these fellows may offer, as they have serious credibility with members of this community. Maybe Fred or Mr. Wet/Dry washer will chime in as well and we can drag a few poodles into the conversation... It has been a long day so thank you.

Beans and more beans to go with the excellent smoked meat! Your outings are always great Bill, thanks mucho.

These are photos of the 2006 Dodge Ram, it has some dings, cracked windshield, some instruments not working. The engine fired right up after I charged the batteries has good oil pressure and sounds good. Thanks for lookin and Happy Hunting!

Good morning Fred!!

For Sale: 2001 Carson Toy Hauler, 24' overall I could load my Suzuki Samurai in it between the rear door and cabinet. Bumper pull, everything works last time it was used. For the right price a Honda 2000 generator will be included... The pull down bed in the rear was removed to accommodate a custom built queen size bed that my friend built so he could load his salt flats bike in under the bed....DS_Store There are two beds/bench seats on the sides of the trailer which fold down. Last used at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Wendover Ut in 2018.The Dodge was the tow vehicle, from Houston Tx. to Wendover then to Bakersfield where it has been stored since last year. Apparently the truck is a good runner, it is 2wd, large four door cab, has a cracked windshield, drivers side window and some gauges are inoperative. Both vehicles are registered in Texas. I am selling it for his partner because sadly my friend passed away while on the salt last year. They are from New Zealand and she is looking to move the two units, preferably together.... I used the trailer several times going to Az. and Nevada to prospect before I sold it to them in 2017. According to what I have researched these trucks are selling for 15-17K, the toy haulers 6-7K.... The price on them is: Truck $9,800 and Trailer $5,000. For both purchased together the price is: $13,500. Thanks Bill for your help. Please send a message through this site.

More than three I would think.....
