In the wilderness, you'r never alone. James J Thanks for the note, I plan to go there later on when the rug rats are back in school and the air is crisp and cool in the high desert. That is the time to visit Carson City or any of the high desert. Hugs, James
It is another beautiful Sunday morning. I am rested up and already looking for a new adventure. This time it will be to travel to Viringa City, Nevada and ride the steam train there. It has just extended it's run to Carson City. It will be a old west fun trip. Your wondurlust friend, James Jacobs
Hi it is Friday morning and I am just getting started with my day. I had the pleasure of contacting my mother in Lincoln Arkansas. She was delighted to hear from me. She is having surgery today. Theree lumps in breasts. She is eighty but still sounds younger. I havent been in touch because she had re-married, moved and I had moved once when I bought this house. My son located her for me after several years. It was very emotional for me to talk with her after nearly giving up trying to locate her. We had a great visit. I plan to get her a les Paul music cd. She said she would love it. I remember her singing many of the songs to me as a young child.
My feelings of joy for finally finding her and shame for not keeping in better touch are keeping me in a sort of limbo now. Maybe I can ground my self out. Take to the man above. Hugs and love my friend. James
Hey Fluffy, thanks for the warm thoughts and support. Been a very trying experience to say the least. Anyway, A lot of my work is classified so cant share alot but Its mostly to do with physical security...I love it. the people are great and the work is very rewarding. ..
I am a retired DC Firefighter who is now enjoying a second career in security. I work for the Dept. of State. I love it. I have been fortunate to work in fields that I really enjoy..I think I told you but I am not sure but I live in Churchton MD., which is about 30 minutes south of Annapolis and a couple hours from OC. I was supposed to get down there at the end of this month but unfortunately, my wife died in June. Trying to get back to normal but its hard sometimes...Getting stronger every day.
oops..haven't been on for a while...sorry you had to work...didn't do too much...sunning by the pool, hanging out...and look here it is the weekend again...
Hey Fluffy. Pa. huh? I am down in Maryland. Churchton to be exact. Its about 20 minutes south of Annapolis. Near the water. It was hot as hell yesterday but today is rainy and in the 70's. What do you do for a living?
I Hope you have a great day. Yestreday we were driving a total of about 14 hours as we went looking for the location of an old mine five hours south of here. We did visit Bodie, CA and Bridgeport. We checked into the ranger station to get any additional information. Few even heard of the old mine Finially we got inforamtion on the rough road going back into the mine and we began our search. We found very little left of this mine, called the Paramount, but saw other "tailings" along our trip.
The trip had its problems as my gps failed on me and my backup did not function enough to pinpoint our whereabouts in the desolate hills of the high desert. To make matters worse, I ran low on gas and when I stopped to use my spart gas can, a five gallon plastic can, it malfunction and the spout would not allow the fuel to pour. I had used this safety spout before and knew how to use it. I finally dissasembled the spout and got the fuel into our tank and we had lunch in a quiet grove o trees.
We continued on searching into the late afternoon when a thunderstorm became a threat to us, so Linda and I had to abandon our search. The mine was not going anywhere and we will try again to locate it later. We out ran the thunderstorm that was blowing in with lighting strikes and wind. By sundown I had made my way back out of the wilds and onto the main highway (395).
We did see and photograph and antelope and a gorgeous sunset. I was starved because our luch had been light so we stopped at the Topaz Lodge and I had a big steak and all was better. Our trip home was a pleasant summer drive int the Sierra Nevadas from Nevada to Sacramento, Ca. I have to add that we crossed the state line between Ca and Nevada on the journey.
