dutch john Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well Grubstake... If I were a betting man... I'd bet your uncle Allanwill be the one who will show you-all how to kick the skunk. I will follow this thread closely... So let us know how everyone does. Be sure to have coffee at the Randsburg General store. Have Karen take a photo and make sure everyone says 'CHEESE.'

dutch john Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well a few years ago, while I was drinking coffee at the General Store aragged ol prospector came in. Over coffee he whispered to me about a map.It was to a area in the QUADRANGlE where a guy named Peg-leg found a hundredblack nuggets on a ridge only three miles from the General Store...I bought the map for an undisclosed amount of cash. But due to advancing ageof my burro we cannot go there... It is for sale... let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the other jim"PS: Denny.. the "wind" is blowing hard... cant'cha tell?Jim i was out there last fri/sat and last tues,The wind was blowing like hell on tues,There is a new group called freinds of last chance they have a claim called the tip top, For 25 bucks a year you can use there claim, Not a bad deal for that area.We have a few claims on upper boulder gulch,It is basalt hell. and that is why the gold is still there. It is quite compared to gohler benson or nugget ally. The El Pasos are one of my favorite places to get away from the world and it,s woes. As with gold there is always some kind of wind blowin.

dutch john Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Well let me chime in. Age is just a number. My memory is is stilllike a sponge; everything soaks in; but drips out: Where are my glasses?, and did I mail the electricity bill?Gary, I'm truly sorry about your mom (Allan's sister) I'm sure she will be okay.Ebbonbetta, today, "senior moments" can be treated and slowed down.Now for easter weekend... Gary, other than the "Mojave Zephyrs"which can be most fierce this time of year, you got in a day of good hunting... And one thing positive about the "Zephyrs," theyblow off the finer sand grains to expose new gold "sunbakers." I'm glad you and Allan were able to go and hunt with Jerry. I would have liked to join in, but unable to do so... There are still big nuggets to be found... Remember Ty's 14- pound "Mojave Queen."

grubstake Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yep, Jim. and the up date on my mom is, she is being released from the hospital, they did and angiogram, and her heart was not blocked, they said most likely Acid reflux, or something caused her to have all the chest pain. Samething I'm going in for on Wensday, to have a sonagram on my Gall bladder. So she will be under going more tests also next week. But I'm glad it was not her heart.

JimGilmore Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yes, I know senior moments can be helped in this day and age with medication. Problem is mom will not take the. Due to her imaginations. She has argued with here dr. Saying he was not her dr but his twin. She is not truly realistic and going off the deep end of late. It's kind of useless to try and reason with a person when they are insane.Insanity classifed as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.Oh well for me she doesn't cooperate but when my brother comes over...she showers and gets dressed. Granted it took over an hour and having to follow her actions while she gets lost on what she is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMick Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ebonbetta, I know what you're going through. My Dad had Alzheimer's and I took care of him until he absolutely had to go into a full care facility. He passed away 17 years ago and it is still difficult to think about.
