    Photos from desert prospecting trip.

    My son Jim and I went drove out to look for a lost gold mine. We did find some promising quartz float this time, and may have located the load, we'll see. On the way there, you pass a rock formation called Negro Rock. It is pretty, but I can't help of thinking of "Motown" records when I see...

    Bubba takes Bean out for lunch at Beans favorite taco place. Before they order, Bubba wants to make a bet. "Bean" Says Bubba, "I'll bet you $100 that you can not eat 20 tacos."

    We have a large number of deer that live on our place and I post a few pict every now and then. Some large bucks have been living around here and it is fun to get a picture of them. This buck and I have had a few run-ins this year, and I almost had to kill him in self defence one morning when he...

    My son Rich was home for the hoidays. He is the only one of my kids that is interested in detecting and we have had a lot of great trips and finds together. He now lives in Chicago, BUMMER. We went up to the local lake to throw rocks and goof around, you know, guy stuff. We got to kidding around...

    If you football fans missed the Boise State Broncos beating the Oklahoma Sooners, you missed the goldarndest zesty game in the history of the sport!!

    What an amazing game!! I watched it with two of my sons (All three of us BSU grads) and three daughter in laws on the big screen hdtv. I thought Jen and Pamela were going to scream the windows out of the house. It is not just that BSU won, it was the way it all went down. This has to have...

    Now here is a large deer..

It is so fun to watch them leap and bounce around just having fun. In this herd are some large bucks. I have been up close to a huge 5x6 mulie and there...

    Hey Vernon, I think I have an old friend of yours....

    This is my model 97 12 ga. I couldn't get all the 30 inch barrel in the shot even standing on a chair. I did manage to hit my head on the chandalier and made the bulb that was out start to work again! :lol: You come on out someday and I will pay you 10 cents a crow and let you use it! :rofl...

    I think this may be the perfect present for my Idaho grandkids. (Their City born Mom doesn't quite agree though) :punch:

    I can already hear it "You'll shoot your eye out!" Of course I'm not going to give them a hand full of ammo and send them out to play. When they are old enough I will teach them firearm safety and they will not touch it with out Grampa having a hold on it. <center> [attachment 43654...

    I found another old photo of interest. My great-grandpas house was destroyed by a torpedo during world war 2. Try and figure out how and where before

    Great Granddaddy's family homesteaded a large farm near Glenville Neb. just after the Civil War. In WW2 the area was used by the military as a huge ammo dump for bombs and Navy torpedoes and other munitions. The location was as far away from both shores to make it less likely to be air attacked...
