hi, toppled outhouse here. nevada. lurked a while looking over wrights shoulder, looked like a nice place to relax. retired sp/up rr worker. use 4x4 for hunting, getting from the ranch to town. mrs. outhouse likes to rockhound. been to dv a lot. used to live nearby.

Welcome! I think you'll find us a friendly bunch. We all enjoy different facets of Death Valley and the surroundings - some hiking, some 4 wheeling, some both.

Be sure to read the forum guidelines. We are a nice bunch, and this the place for desert conversation, but definitely not the place for political discussion for the sake of politics. Plenty of other forums for that.

We look forward to hearing some of your previous DV adventures, and certainly any new ones as well.

you're quick. yeah, know the rules. wright suggested to me to keep me trap shut if i want to hang with you all. new to this bulletin board stuff. i'm not a political person, keep it to me self. might get riled up bout something now and then, but let others have their opinons. america, you know. baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and chevrolet.

Don't mean to come across as a hard-ass, just wanted to be sure you understood the philosophy here. A bit different than many forums where everything goes.

We understand we all have opinions about all sorts of stuff. Not to censor opinions, but typically, we aren't going to convince each other of an opposing opinion, so it just ends up being noise. Besides, we all enjoy the desert too much to let those opinions get in the way of sharing our love for the desert. We've folks from all sides of all spectrums, but checking those opinions at the door lets us talk about the desert.

Besides, it is a nicer group this way.

no harm, no foul. you didn't come across rude. my point being that i live and let live. didn't come here to start trouble, don't want none. i like what i see, thought i would come and set a spell.

TO is my neighbor (owns 40 acres south of my parcel) and a good guy. He & Mrs. TO like to rockhound, ghost town and he and I've hunted together. He and she used to live in Barstow and Las Vegas and spent a lot of time in and around DV exploring.
