I won a muk! Or I went amuck! Or I ran amuck! "Winnemucca?" It means " Really good shopping" You must have that where you are from??? I bet your wife knows??!! Nancy Nancy - you've met my 2 girls!!! My wife is not too bad, she can keep things down to a dull roar, but the young l...

Steve, just a brief reply, due to time constraints. The "House of Filthy Lucre" calls, in the shape of "She Who Must Be Obeyed"! I'm very pleased to hear what you have to say about ESL teaching potential - it's very encouraging. I will be applying for a position at a New Mexico l...

Howdy Gravelrash! Wow, I have been reading your posts and am having fun learning about Australia and the original Ballarat. I agree with your assessment that this country has much to offer for buffs of the backcountry. There is more to explore than can even be done in a lifetime. The solitude is wh...

Just after I wrote that, I left the library in Bishop(15 miles north of Big Pine) and ran into Graham. I mentioned that aspect and he seemed pleased with the thought. So maybe you ought to PM him here and send him greetings and an invite. As one Barkeep to another, it just seems like the friendly t...

Those type of places are generally long gone from the American scene. Those that are still there are re-creations. I believe there is at least one place in Los Angeles that still is in business after all these years that is still run as though the calendar was still 1950s. In the American midwest, ...

Hello David, this having to use public library computers sounds like a bummer. My first amputation was.... dramatic....but if they took my net away, I'd REALLY be ticked off! Ok. Thought by your posts that you only knew of my ghosttowns.com Internet presence I’m not aware of your messages, you mean ...

A Nevada small city named for an Indian the whites called "One moccosin." Walking around the Great Basin with one shoe missing might have required a tetinus shot, but I don't think they were available in 1868 ... :lol: No. American's seem to avoid Winnemucca, but I like it. Nice and remot...

Okay, what's a Winnemucca and can you get shots for it? If Winnemucca is moving closer to people, is there any danger it might get to Oz soon? (I used to think the Pacific was a big barrier, but look what happens when technology goes global! We handled "boat people" ok, but are we prepared...

David Wright - of course I know your Jarbidge posts. Every gt-er worth his salt does. I love every post. I don't know if you've ever got any of my messages but they all have the same idea -more, more, more! Got it yet? :lol: You are Jarbidge - we have to go. End of story. We have "ghost towns&q...

Pete - I think we're gonna get along just fine around the campfire.. I love to talk politics. I never knew any of that WWII stuff -- England not Being There for Australia, America stepping in to help, the resentment felt toward England to this day.... Fascinating. Kit Kit, I have no doubt we'll get...

:welcome: Welcome, gravelrash. I think it's so cool that someone from the other side of the world feels such an affinity for the USA, and not only that, but you're attracted to Death Valley. Do your friends think you're a bit strange? LOLOL!! :lol: I've always thought Australia would be an awesome ...

I have absolutely no clue where this clip came from. The guy in the picture doesn't look anything like me. I know nothing about these flames and smoke! :twisted: I post this only as a public service as to what MIGHT happen if someone were to try and cook Spiedies on a grill somewhere in the desert....

This I did answer somewhat in the Trip Planning section, under the Fall Haul thread. If that post doesn't answer your questions, ask for more info, or just show up to our shindig and find out firsthand! I can assure you, they taste better than Vegemite, at least to me!!! David Bricker / SYR Ah, yes...
