Edge

Dude looks like a lady

Go on, scat

The paper threw me at first, but definitely Guatemalan. Bust it up...look for seeds. Crushed red pepper, leaning towards Honduran.

There won't always be a knife sharpening expert or power outlet in the field with you when you discover your blade needs edged. Buy a whetstone or water stone. They are often 400-600 grit (rough) on one side and 1000 opposite.. Draw it with the edge at a 22.5` to the stone and pull at a 45` towards you I wear a leather belt that doubles as a good strop and have an unglazed porcelen coffee cup in my camp box for finishing edges. If your blade sharpens but won't hold an edge it's likely not high enough in carbon content and therefore not hard enough to retain an edge. Common in file made and Damascus composite blades.

And let's keep in mind the 300 road was originally laid out as a supply road between forts suitable for supply wagons, not for off road racing. I'm seeing some really terrible posts online about this accident. If speed was involved it's soley the operators fault and three innocent passengers paid the ultimate price for the drivers poor judgement. Went up the Crown King Rd the other day with a fellow who drove like the devil was racing him. I complained so much about the speeds we just about got into a fight. What was the rush? He slowed way down on the way back but still nearly had four head on collisions. Luckily the oncoming traffic didn't approach on tight corners. And my buddy driving is a rural medic/fireman used to seeing these wrecks.

These idiot ATV and UTV drivers are all the excuse needed for the BLM and forest service to close roads down. Try being on horseback when these jack azzes come flying down the trail.

Spent the last several days camped near this cabin, even with the vast views never saw another soul. If you've been here, you've seen some remote landscape enroute. Looking for a general area not a Mountain range.

I agree

😀 Ding, ding; winner!

Just give me a land mark within a 15 mile radius of this cabin or the cabins name

Negative, sir

No, fair guess though

Johnson grass after a drought can be toxic or maybe Morning Glory

Was a good thread... Nice to have learned more about some of my fellow Zonies.

I was home in Graham, WA awaiting my wife to get home from work.

This is one of the earliest photographs taken in AZ. Judging by the towns progress shown in the picture, I'm estimating this is about 1870. The growth here is about to explode into the thousands...

It's Vultures City

I was looking for Vulture City, but winner, winner elk loin dinner. Thought the tailing pile left side of pic was dead give away

It has a name....come on, you can do it!

Haha thanks, we need to get together and commiserate. Bisbee? Wrong plot of desert.

Negative, but thanks for playing

That's one of the clues in the picture. Looks like a hazy day and it's early, early camera technology. There are mountains to the north and south

Sounds like something that would happen in New River lol

Yes, I belong to a forum owned by a local loco catering to metal detecting, , meteorite hunting, coin and nugget shooting. If you're interested, lemme know I'll send you the URL.

I changed skins just so I could read it. The format is similar one of my gold forums so there's a little familiarity. Don't know yet how to adjust some if my favorite settings I miss like being anonomous. Until I figure it all out, I have other pursuits.
