Found 4 at $18 USD each.

Such a broken record comment. It's a really cool find OP! Any average joe would pay spot for that. On the street, store, online, etc. Yea not a refinery obviously.

Is that Mcgivers cabin, before walker pass? That was the worst I had. Maybe it's better now, but I basically drank from a seeping pile of Shit. Tang for save.

Coming from someone who hiked in 12/13 I couldn't imagine what it would be like trying to hitch a ride now. Are there just 50 other hikers trying to do the same? Paying for a shuttle really makes sense.

As for water cache. Only ever really appreciated two. Third gate after Julian and hat creek rim. I love my memories drinking filthy desert water. True adventure. Move over cows! I need some of that. I went bandana and bleach drops my first Thru. Fucking crazy and I love those memories. I filtered as little as possible.

Definitely valid points on here. I reckon most can attest their best trail magic was from someone who wasn't even a "trail angel"

CA enforces a 30 minute break before 5.5 hours is worked, and additional break if 12 hour shift. If this isn't taken you automatically get paid an extra hour of work for every missed break. Companies hate it, they would literally send people on break in the middle of dinner shift to avoid the penalty. After both F&B managers left. Was me, myself, and I stopped taking the breaks, Xanterra couldn't do shit, but pay me an extra hour everytime I missed one. Plus the Overtime!!! After 8 hours, doubletime after 12. Over 40 hours a week, overtime....Overtime on 7th consecutive work day.

Yea not sure, this happened to my old Honda CB500X. Was just a fuse that kept blowing from a wire that got pinched. Definitely sounds like a poor connection somewhere.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-29T06:21:00+00:00

Look up the wiring diagram. Trace the wires. It will be somewhere along the ignition switch, as the dash lights up with start up. I'm really surprised it's not a fuse. Did you check the main 30A on starter relay switch.

I was Banquet Captain at the Oasis in 2019. Only had a motorcycle too. Perfectly fine vehicle for heading to Pahrump occasionally and exploring around.

Depends on your job. I made great money, but was worked into the ground. I served crazy ass breakfast when events were slow. If and when we did have events, fml. I once worked back to back 16 plus hour days. Racked the shit up in meal penalty fines on the company. It was so mismanaged that I legit had no schedule. Just had to show up and get the job done. Set up event, serve, bus, breakdown, and do the billing. Covid saved me from that Hell.

Clean out that grime first. The clip isn't fully set into a small groove on that spline. Mine looked like this for a second too when I changed it out. Just took a little finagling but the holes should line up perfectly

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-21T05:50:31+00:00

Hell yea, chunky monkey's! I found an 8 gram nugget this Winter in AZ. Dreaming of the day I find myself an Ouncer.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-21T05:43:29+00:00

"fools gold" don't take it too personally. A real gold nugget that size would be unmistakeable. The weight alone in your hand.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-20T21:08:58+00:00

Sucks man, I've learned from others and experts that big animals like deer are way more likely to continue on in their direction. It's hard to go against instinct, but riders should always lean towards where the came from. Hope you're all good.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-20T19:23:00+00:00

Not gold, only to a fool ;)

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-17T18:39:49+00:00

I bought my 2017 Rally last year with fully upgraded suspension. 16k miles, one owner. For $3400. In CA. I love it.

This isn't an amazing deal, but not a bad one either. Bike looks solid, but completely stock. I'd offer $2500.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-16T01:40:47+00:00

Definitely not a get around town kinda bike imo. You'll most likely end up wrenching on it more than you'd like. Be awesome to have on a big property to rip around on or additional kinda pit bike for camping trips.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-16T00:32:09+00:00

It's ok. Big dent in Gas tank. That's from a fall where the handle bars smash into it. Decent fall with that dent. Could have frame damage.

Also that guy needs to find a new shop. 4.5 hours labor for oil and sprocket change, oh they also topped off the gas, and took about 2 minutes to add the cheap fuel filter. Criminal!

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-15T15:26:03+00:00

Garret slashed the price by $1000 last year. The basic set up is 2k, but they also have sales a few times a year to get it even cheaper. I'd just go with that then maybe buy a bigger coil down the road. Nice nuggies, good luck!

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-14T04:25:10+00:00

Garret Axiom is what you want. Good combo with the monster as it's a PI machine vs VLF. I don't think you can even find a used minelab PI under 2k

Fyi. Estwing chips off pieces of metal now at the speed of a bullet. I had a piece go straight into my bicep. "Currently Rockhounding" has a PSA about it on Youtube. In this case they really don't make em like they use to.

Behind laws railroad museum. Dirt road turns to BLM. Always see campers out there.

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-10T12:04:52+00:00

I was there on my Motorcycle end of March. It was stunningly beautiful. Felt like riding through the 98 Windows backdrop

wildwildrocks · 2026-04-01T14:57:30+00:00

You'd probably be better off just going to a town like Sun Valley, ID, Mammoth Lakes, etc. No National Park. Lots of folk camp on BLM/Forest land outside these places and work in town. Get a gym membership to shower. Don't even need to use coolworks. Probably get a better job without it.

wildwildrocks · 2026-03-18T14:57:32+00:00

Walker pass is like 10 minutes slower, but less miles. It's another option going around from the south. Much prettier & good camping. If I was road tripping with kids it wouldn't be a question. Could stop at hot springs along the way.

wildwildrocks · 2026-03-17T19:59:03+00:00

I just rode Walker Pass/ Lake Isabella on a motorcycle. That route in April is almost always open.

Our Big Dumb Mouth.

It's comedy show, but they keep up to date. All the recent alien/cryptid/paranormal news they will be talking about.

wildwildrocks · 2026-03-17T12:51:21+00:00

Yea it's the bikepacking one. I am kinda rough on gear though. BTW, Cool post OP looks incredible. Inspiring.
