Was he retarded? or free?

Quoted By:
Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving... Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that. He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race. Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed. Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him. The End.

How about, for every Mexican that self deports, even 1st or 2nd generation born here Mexicans, we will let an extra 5 gallons of water through to Mexico each day

>>2857293 is a picture of placer mining, that’s not a mountain, it’s a valley with a river. They can get some fire hoses and start washing layers off the mountain next, if there’s gold there and they really want to. As long as it’s not polluted it will all settle into something that is otherwise normal with a few good floods, maybe 100 years.

Due to being a dwarf (5’8), my proximity to a major river known for having gold and spots to look for it, and the current gold prices I have decided to dwarfmax. Anyone here ever panned for gold? I’m not thinking of getting much to start for supplies just a mesh sifter a shovel and a pan. Anyone who pans for gold around here have any input for supplies or tricks?>don’t quit your dayjob I’m not

>>2862405 Well, not this weekend. I was hoping the forecast for rain would be just a light sprinkle, like it has been, on and off, for the last couple weeks. But no, drenching downpour with thunder and lighting! Not going out in this. Forecast is saying Monday and maybe Tuesday will be clear/overcast. So I'll try to get out then.

>>2862458 Going out tomorrow. I'm going to hit some spots I've dug and found flour gold to see if there are any nuggets I've missed.
Anonymous
>>2862534 Nuggets will generally stay close to the source unless carried by glaciers while flour gold can travel miles in creeks and rivers. Keep pushing upstream if you don't have any luck.

>>2862534 Digging in mud sucks! All of the spots I tried were far to saturated. I got several "hits" on the detector. They were clear and repeatable in the 90s. A couple were hot rocks with visible iron oxidation. One has a target on one side but not the other. It was to muddy to even try and wash it in the field. I'll throw it in a pan and wash it to see if there's anything in the mud. The rest of my targets, I couldn't find. The mud made digging and scooping nearly impossible. Even if I was able to get the target in my scoop, there's no way I could divide it. So..... I'm back to waiting. With all of the rain we've had and are expecting, there should be fresh flood gold in the creeks once the water levels drop back down. And I'll wait until the soil has returned to a non goopy state before I bring the detector back out. It was a fun, if a bit frustrating and unfruitful day.

Quoted By:
>>2862548 A lot of what I'll be detecting on are old tailings. Most of the nuggets I'm hoping to find were missed by the old time miners. I'm not sure if there is any true virgin ground around here. It was all hit pretty hard in the late 1800s and again in the 1970s.

Looking to do some big bike rides in the Western US mid-March. Mostly off-road/unpaved. Driving from the East Coast and car camping. What general areas do you guys recommend? Right now looking at a Guadalupe mountains -> Lincoln NF, NM -> Santa Fe/Taos -> Southern CO somewhere? Also possible: Gila/Silver City, NM routed in Southern Utah -> Vegas/Red Rocks -> Death Valley after Colorado NOAA map shows much lighter snowpack at altitude than years past but I don't live out there. I saw plenty of snow in the Flagstaff area early Spring a few years ago so I make no assumptions.

Quoted By:
>>2862594 A lot of those more northern areas mid march are still at risk of snowstorms or shitty cold weather even at lower elevations. I was in southern utah at 5000 feet in mid march a couple years ago and it was snowing with a high of 25 degrees those days. I would stick to the southern deserts of NM/AZ. Consider west texas too. Plenty of long blm and lower forest service roads.

>>2862594 Don’t skip NW AR if you can route it in.
I’ve heard that Big Bend is better than Guadalupe Mtns, or you can do both.
Skip S Colorado, not worth it right now, freak storms, the public areas are all still covered in snow. It’s too far out of the way so spend more time other places.
UT might be nice near Moab/Arches and Canyonlands.
This snow coverage map map is accurate enough

There are many ways to find mines. If you really want to explore them, you will figure it out. Networking and research are your two best friends.

Sup /out/, went camping (at a wilderness campsite) recently to try out some winter gear. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the rewaterproofing on my tent held up really well. One issue I had, was that while there were plenty of big logs available, there was no tinder or kindling and I had to use my swiss army knife to baton massive pieces of firewood to start a fire. This was fucking atrocious work and I realise I need a good fixed blade knife. Now I've got it in my head to get a big knife or a hatchet, picrel is available in a very decent 6 inch blade and this beauty of a 10 inch blade. As much as I know 6 inch is probably fine, my gorilla brain is telling me to get this big fucking thing, then I don't even need a hatchet and can carry the SKA for small tasks/multitool. Convince me otherwise before I drop serious money on this thing.

Thinking of driving up to Washington this late spring or summer. Would mostly be car camping with a few days of backpacking. Should I hit Olympic or Cascades NP? I would like to go to Olympic for some beach camping but I would guess it’s more crowded, although Cascades is probably also pretty crowded right? Talk to me PNW anons
