ArcticDave 1,374 Posted January 16, 2013 HEY this one with yer Jeep and the cooler on top, its that a Ol Yeller Little Guy on the roof rack too ?Hows that thing holdin up ??These were all taken on a trip to Rich Hill.It sure is Works great and have no complaints. I've run a bunch of dirt through both that "little guy" and the "Ol' Yeller" I got from you. Nary a problem with either! They are currently sitting in storage in Prescott, patiently awaiting my return from the frigid north. I value them highly, they are made well and, if you don't mind me saying...built by a friend.

ArcticDave 1,374 Posted February 10, 2013 I've never really got into the habit of taking pics of what little gold I'm able to scrape up. Most of it gets sold so fast to pay expenses.I think I've posted most of those before, but it's all I got to show for now....spring is coming though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArcticDave 1,374 Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks guys :-)Got plenty more pics. when we get settled and I can start putting a few up again.After living in AK most of my life, I'm not sure I could ever get it completely out of my blood. It will always be home...and require yearly visits. Like in July, when there is NO snow!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Found Dutchman 37 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm convinced there's still some virgin patches left in the Bradshaws. With that bike and a little luck, you might find one. The secret is to ask everyone where the gold is, then head in the opposite direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
