Recreational Gold, Mineral and Meteorite Prospecting
and Full-time Truck Camping

March/April 1999:  Picacho Desert, Gold Basin, Lake Mead -- Arizona
December 1999: Oro Grande, New Mexico -- GPAA Gold Claim
Summer 2000: Arizona to Calgary
October 2000: Grand Canyon West
 

Since November 1998 I've been living on the road full-time.

In January 1999 I got my F 350 diesel pickup with the Lance truck camper, in August 2000 the engine died near Calgary and I bought a Chevy truck.  I have no desire to sleep in a house.

My special interests are real estate and very recreational prospecting for gold and minerals in Arizona/New Mexico in winter, and Alaska/Canada/Montana/Idaho in summer.

Until 02/2000 I used the Sony Digital 8 camcorder, then I got the Kodac DC 280 camera.  Not a bad camera, but it's definitely lacking ZOOM.  Unfortunately the camcorder just was NOT working at all during my Alaska trip, I missed out on a lot of great wildlife shots.
