    I changed the air freshener to a new one, one time.
    Is that on your way to good springs? By potosi?

    Yes it is. Once you go up and over that slightly steeper and washed out bit, there is a left hander that takes you to that overlook.

    Hey I have a room to rent, here is a link.
    I have a decent size garage equipped to work on whatever too, it's pretty chill here. I have quite a few items I am clearing out of my storage unit, URD programmer, powerstop rear brake kit, drums, headlights (pair of OEM HL's w/burned turns, but I have the new replacements) and more. I'll post more as I take some more pics. Thanks for looking.

    Photo dump from when Vegas got hit with snow. The dog of course had to get most of the attention.

    Went to an abandoned mine yesterday with a local 4Runner group. Found some spots that would make for some great camping when it warms up as well. Mining in the area started in the 1860's for gold and silver, but closed after WWII. The Coliseum Mine was reopened as an open pit mine in the 1980's for breccia pipes.

    The ominous reflector being bowed down to by the solar panels. Couldn't imagine how blinding or hot it would be standing in it's reflective path...

    Oh that's a pretty neat little area. Plus my buddy could follow in his 2WD truck and join me. haha.

    Where do you find these groups? Meetup app or something?

    So, anyone here into gold prospecting at all that might be interested in showing me the ropes or heading out on a gold hunting day trip? Mainly panning, or using a detector. I wanted to pick up the hobby and mess around a bit. Gives me an excuse to get out and explore the area.

    I have a couple rooms for rent in a house around Patrick and Annie Oakley. Utilities split equally. Washer dryer in garage. Covered patio in backyard. Rv parking. Quiet neighborhood with easy freeway access. Garage full of tools and a place to work on trucks. House is kept clean. There is a 15 year old Blue Heeler here so not looking for any other animals. Offering this up here for like minded people before I post it on Craigslist. Rooms are ready now.
    One room is $450.00 the other is $500.00, or I will make a deal with someone if they want both rooms for a home office.
    Respond by sending a PM.

    Lol nah. Not yet. Been in the process of moving (split up with fiance) so haven't got around to it yet.

    I'd like to, though. Was it fairly easy for you?

    The rears were. The front took me about 5 hours, but I didn't have any help. I'd be willing to give you a hand when you were ready.

    Last week I was on the I-11 bypass going around Boulder City... Heading to AZ I saw a bunch of trucks and Tacoma's in the dirt on a trail off to the left of the interstate.

    What is that? Burro Wash? Anyone know.

    If you are headed to AZ, Burro wash is on the right of the I-11 (south side). There are trails on the left side (north) but never checked them out.

    Correction, that's the trails near the Boulder City Landfill/dump. I have been out there one time. It's a maze.

    Is it pretty mild.. is it fun? I haven't done much off-roading, but I want to start.

    It looked pretty decent and not too rough. Hm. I'll see what else I can find out

    Don't remember much. But it was mild, with some soft/loose spots. I'd rather do somewhere out by Nelson's Landing. At least you end up by the river at some point.

    True true. I just saw it and got interested. I don't wanna do anything too crazy as I'm just getting started, that's all. But really wanna start going out and exploring more.


    P.S. Anyone here in Vegas wanna sell me some sliders? Maybe an old set, upgraded to something different, etc. What ya got?
