Edge

Was just telling a buddy how I'd like to set up a great deer camp in Reavis come January and base camp near the marina.

It's right there in Lifetime License. Click on Lifetime License.

I'm told by his former partner his name was Bill Canning. He worked several claims on Turkey Creek 7 miles south of Mayer. After having his shack washed away in an early spring flood (including several pounds of gold hidden inside the walls of the shack), he moved to a claim on the Big Bug l Creek. Worked it several years and when he felt he had enough gold, he decided to drive up to Montana and put a down payment on his retirement home. But he never made it. He was found murdered along a desolate road on the Navajo Reservation. His gold stolen and his van ransacked. Prospectors like to show off their gold. Investigators think he may have picked up a couple hitchhikers and couldn't resist showing off his gold. Detectives also believed only someone with knowledge of the reservation could have got his van where it was. I'm told no one has been arrested in the case. I've tried to find info online but no luck.

These days I can use any good news I can get.

Cool let's see what happens

Sorry not seeing any forecasts past 72 hours on their sight 72 hours is usually pretty accurate.

Source? This was a 7 week long prediction. A day or two without precipitation doesn't mean the monsoon is over. We can't have monsoon in Central AZ unless Tucson does too.

Heard an interesting prediction from NOAA this morning. The monsoon moisture shows no sign of easing up through the beginning of October.

Yeah but this guy is trespassing. He drove a quarter mile thru posted land then whips his lil Willie out like he's gonna rape somebody. His outie should be outed.

I put a surveillance camera on our front gate a week ago. Was expecting burros, an occasional deer, or anyone screwing around. Didn't take long to get pics but I wasn't expecting porn so soon

A buddy called me this afternoon, said there was a dead tiger across the road from the hotel. He was close. I'd put him at about 35lbs.

For that particular structure, would not apply. Idea is to keep you and your projectiles and pointy sticks more than a 1/4 mile away. Looks like it's gonna be a fantastic quail season. I drove past a covey last week that hand hundreds of birds in it. Literally 300 yards of wall to wall quail.

Lots of options since it's 5000sq' on nearly 5 commercial acres.. Kitchen and bathrooms are soon to be remodeled, the building sealed. One of the saving grace's is it was built using ol growth redwood, her bones are sound. Maybe some Airbnb, horse camp, tourist lodging to compliment the owners patented mines about 8 miles north. Open to suggestions. Worst part of the venture to date is the local hick click. All the neighbors are acting grateful the hotel is being saved and revitalizede. I've known some of these folks for decades. But at the same time they act like it's public land and they can meddle. Don't get me started on the utility companys, county and DOT. Thank goodness the new owner has the $ to keep a slew of lawyers, professionals, etc and can afford to keep a rather jolly disposition throughout.

I obtained a mining claim a few years ago in the Prescott National Forest. Ol prospector before me lived on it for 12 years, even built a shack there. He'd probably still be there if he hadn't been flooded out and later murdered.

You pretty much nailed it buddy. Morristown was once known as Castle Hot Springs Junction. The 16 room hotel was primarily built as a stop off, overnight location for wealthy tourists coming and going first by railroad then by stagecoach to Castle Hot Springs Resort. I've been driving by this place for over 40 years, drank at the bar in the 80's, now helping the new owner bring this 123 year old Arizona treasure back to life.

I'm going to endorse a guy on my work crew whom does off-road recovery work. I know well he gives stranded motorists priority over his day job and does remote welding, under carriage and metal fab work too when needed. Put this name and number in your phone. Mike Morgan +1 602-397-7897

Nah, that was it's modern name. It was originally a hotel that sat south of the tracks about a mile from it's current location.. Morristown went by a different name in 1899.. Clue: The name will make perfect sense when you hear it.

Go for it

Part II. What was it's name back in the day?

Correct Should have known a railroad guy would have it.

Now multiply that times the lakes surface area, o my.

Yes and the Inflation Reduction act. Amazing how a culture that can't tell an innie from an outtie thinks they are going to control nature

Was just reading an article from the Las Vegas Journal, Lake Mead has risen 15" in the past week. They're partially crediting the wettest monsoon in decades for that. They must have some real brainiacs working there.

I pass by a fellow every day whom is clearly squatting on State Trust, he's had his trailer parked there close to a year. He'll probably move on once the place fills up with ATVs this fall.
