hello

[highdesertranger]

i did it again,  wrote up an intro added a picture and checked preview to make sure the pic thingy work it, did then i hit back and all had vanished.  so maybe i learned what not to do.  so i will try again.  hi all i am not a full timer yet but will be in the future.  what i do now is, for 9 months i run the family cattle ranch with mom, then 3 months i am on the road prospecting.  been doing this since '96.  after this years prospecting trip i am going to start building a toy hauler/retirement home and in the future will go full time.  some might ask why build when there are plenty of used ones that are reasonable.  well i would have one of those tore up pretty quick with all the off highway driving.  that's how i found this site,  while doing research on rv parts and building.  i will say there are allot of people with allot of knowledge on this site and are willing to share, i thank all of you i have learned allot. so now i will put up some pics of my adventures.  first two,  stopping for the night on the road.  next 2 gold camp.  last 2 another gold camp.  that's all for now folks.  highdesertranger
