    Papa Iggy kicked the bucket.

    I have already introduced you to my new age friend, Vivi, in a couple of previous stories. This is about the time her 4 foot long Iguana lizard died. Vivi lived in a 30 foot travel trailer with two tilt out extension rooms, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. A large permanent room...

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

    I always get a kick out of people who claim to know exactly what they will do when facing any situation. I look back at decisions I have made and it is a grab bag of good and bad. The fact that I am still alive is more probably due to luck than to decisiveness and great decisions on my part...

    Made sense to me

    When out metal detecting in the forest south of Prescott AZ, I started working up a long gradual gulch and suddenly noticed a claims marker. It had a small sign on a tree that said "blow-hole #10". I quit detecting but out of curiosity, went on up the gulch and pretty soon ran into the next...

    715 White Spar Road......and points south

    Tesoro metal detectors are made at Prescott, AZ......address 715 White Spar Road. For over two years in the mid 90,s, my address was 714 White Spar Rd, right across the road from Tesoro. This is a story about how White Spar Rd got its name plus some personal experiences thrown in. Just a...

    Willy the Dude tourist

    This is another one of those stories centered around the Hidden Valley RV ranch north of Deming NM where I lived in the late 90's of the last century. Almost everyone in that park owned ATV's. Most fulltime and wintertime residents owned two, one for the husband and one for the wife. There...

    Snake at the gate

    Yep.....another snake story. But first, a little background. During WW1, an army base named Camp Cody was established on the outskirts of Deming, NM. An auxilliary base for artillery training purposes was established about 10 miles straight north of the main base, out in raw open desert...

    Some Texas Hill Country history

    The hill country of central Texas has some fascinating history. So much of our history gets "re-written" to favor certain factions. The original German immigrants who were pre-dominate in setteling the hill country has been overlooked. You dont think of Texas cowboys speaking with a german...

    The phantom pick-up truck rides again

    In 1970 I was the sarge in charge of a small group of Air Commandos. We were on a classified assignment working for the American Embassy in Laos. We worked out of an air force base in northern Thailand but did most of our work across the border in Laos. We used unmarked airplanes and did most...

    Dont take no Double-Damn-Dares

    I was temporarily living south of Deming, NM, at an RV Park known as LOW-HI Ranch. The LOW stood for LONERS ON WHEELS, a singles organization. You have to be single and living the RV lifestyle to be a member. I was a member. Most everyone at the Park were members but occassionally some...

    Dropping out #l

    Almost everyone gets down in the dumps now and then, tired of whatever rat race they are in, and contemplates changing their way of life. Some get more drastic and just drop out completely, either by choice or through misfortune. There are some that are truly homeless that I dont have any...

    Dont draw, podner unless.........

    ......you intend to shoot. That was an old saying back during the rougher days out west and of course it reminds me of a story. When I first moved to Arizona, I was pleased to find out that you could walk around openly wearing a pistol. In a cafe in Ashfork I remember a sign stating "All guns...

    Hey Monte

    I have missplaced a floppy disc where I had recorded your techniques that you called "edge pass rejection", "Quick out", etc. I was wondering if you could post that again for us. It was really good info about coil technique used to better recognize and eliminate some of the iron and bottlecap...
