Hello,
I'm Tom Jones II from Trona, CA....I stumbled across this site/forum after searching for the FOB (Friends Of Briggs) web site....No Luck...well anyway it was a great find...I have read what I think is the larger part of the content on the forum and everything on the site....GREAT JOB!!! well a little about me...I'm 22 and have lived in Trona the better part of my life...my family moved to Ballarat in 1969 Paul, Lillian,Nick,Tammy and my dad Tom Sr.. the kids did their best to escape at an early age but grandma and grandpa were there till 1984...the year I decided to show up...lol.........anyway if your in Ballarat in the store you can still see the markings of grandpas great artistic skills with the name of Jones on the floor........so that is a small start to me and hope to meet all of you out on the trails.....

Welcome Tom! Hope you enjoy the place! I'll be at PSR this Thursday and will be in Homewood Canyon on Saturday...

Welcome Tom, you sure have found the right place.. this is a regular hotbed of Ballarat fans.
And no doubt we'll all be looking for the Jones graffiti on the floor next time we're out there!

The graffiti is actually the tile on the floor!!!! they have tried removing it...but somebody said something about...surplus Navy glue???

I belive so......at the top of South Park....That is John Gossett in the picture...Bill's son....We had a he!! of a time getting past the ice..(it was a few years ago) about an hour and a half, the start of a flat tire..nothing a plug wouldn't fix at the top of the pass that drops down into Rita's in Plesent Canyon...and our last hoooo raahhh....was sliding down the back side in the ice with the doors open ready to bail.... I've got a lot more that I will get posted up....

Welcome Tom. Yeah, you found a great website here. Watch out though, it's very addicting.

Does that explain why I get the shakes when I haven't looged on for a day?

Also, Welcome, Tom. This is indeed a great site, with many great folks!
