Supposed to be 63 degrees here in Reno tomorrow. Heat wave!

That's great info, Chris. Thanks a bunch. Dwight

No way! That will never work. A guy can't have a pink pick!

I bought a SPOT last year. It came in handy when my son didn't show up on time when he took the Ranger out for a ride. I started getting nervous just before dark so I just jumped on the SPOT website and I was able to see where he was, where he'd been, and where it looked like he was headed. I could see he was headed back toward his unloading spot so I knew he was ok. You can actually get them for free right now ($150) with the rebate if you sign up for service.

A "RIPPA"!!! Awesome Lunk!

Wow!! Awesome snake pic. I've never seen one so fired up. Amazing the dog didn't get bit. It's odd this is the first snake you've seen in all the years and all the ground you've covered. I've seen a bunch of them in my time hunting and hiking around Northern Nevada. Now you know what they sound like, anyway. Keep the stories coming, Lunk.

What a funny story!!

Lunk, Chukar season opens this weekend so there''ll be a lot of folks out about. If you find a spot where there's no gold but lots of birds let me know!!

I envy you, Lunk. Have a great time and treasure each day you have out there. Looking forward to your pics and stories. Dwight

Just to get an overall, though maybe rough, perspective. How would you experienced users rate each on a scale of 1-10. Lets just say the 4500 would be a 10 for comparisons sake. Average ground if there is such a thing. 2100 2200 Extreme 3000 3500 4000

Thanks Sandy, That's the kind of stuff I was hoping for.

Thanks for your thoughts Grubstake. I know there are more people out there who could contribute to this. Come on guys. Your perpectives mean a lot to us newbies who may be in the market for a used minelab. Thanks.

Something about the higher speed causes rock punctures out there. The road is good but I'd keep your speed down.

Sent you an email.

Has anyone ever tried pepper spray as a bee deterrent?
