Hard panniers?

But they can cross the road. Let me tell ya.......it's no fun hitting one at 65mph. Talk about serious damage on a guy's truck! I can still see and hear the impact as if it were yesterday. This happened in 1989. Think I'd rather get hit by that goose! Lol I was driving my big heavy F350 doing about 65mph down a hwy in UT when a herd of elk decided it was time to cross the road in front of me.I slammed on the brakes so hard it snapped the front stabilizer and cracked the windshield and I didn't even hit any elk.

Did I see hard panniers?

refresh my memory, wheres the desert rose? Today it's called 'The Co-Op' Old Hwy 80, Arlington

Looks like some good duck hunting...

I tried last week but a lioness and cubs have moved into my spot and the deer have hi tailed it out.

It's just above the Gila across from Duncan AZ.

What he and elkoholic said. I used to install every appliance for Lowes from generators to insinkerators. Install it use some pipe thread goop and call your gas company, tell them you want a pilot light checked. They'll be out the same day.

I installed a kitchen in Virden about 8 years ago and was amazed at how that little area had taken such a hit from the meth heads trying to dodge the law. I went to my Granpa's old place to see if I could get some pictures of the place and his old barn! After I spoke to the gal that came to the door, I told my wife.......we better get out of here!!! Beautiful little hidden spot, but like you say, it isn't like it used to be...... Me too, drove the 20 miles of dirt road and washes to see the grandparents old homestead. It wasn't full of meth heads but still unsightly. A cattle company had moved in. Now there were mobile homes parked along side 170 year old buildings. The chicken coop and spring gone.To borrow from Wolfe, you can't go home again.

YupMy uncle Bernard Gillespie had it built around 1920 any relation to the Gillespie clan in Pinetop/Lakeside?I don't believe so unless of course they're part time residents and own gobs of land.Grace and Bernard's kids are pretty well off, inherited everything from luxury hotels, oil company holdings to a private island in British Columbia complete with a luxurious French Chateau.

I just read it again. Good writer but E. Mac Pherson was much better known for his Western and WWII pinup art. Book lacked a lot from content to research of dates and such. The chapter on the beautiful Sonoran Senorita is my father's sister Grace, whom Bernard married in 1945. I'm digging deeper into Bernard Jr's life. He was a B-17 pilot, shot down over Africa early in the war and sole survivor of the bombers crew. Captured by the Germans, he came back to health in a an enemy field hospital. While being transported to Europe in a German Submarine, the vessel was depth charged and forced to surface by a British Destroyer. He resumed piloting B-17s out of England and was shot down again over Germany near the end of the war and held prisoner. Again, the crews sole survivor. Bernard Gillespie Jr is seated center with his crew of the Tanta Liza, December 1944. His awards included The Silver Star, Air Medal, Purple Heart and EAME Campaign Ribbon with two battle star devices. He carried a lot of PTSD and survivors guilt and died in 1962.

That's some special country out there. Maybe an hour NW of my grandparents home. Lordsburg? Deming? Animas??? I grew up in Animas...... Between Ft Bayard and Silver City

Thanks, it was; thought you had my phone number?

Funny but no.

Yup, poor Snapshot is confused between besmirching ones family and ribbing his fandom. He's just a little butthurt but I still like him lol. Oh and please don't tell him although I quit football I was rooting for the Vikings, it's my dad's team too. What has your family brought to the great state of AZ? That dam created farming south of Buckeye where before only jackrabbits and tumbleweeds grew. Put food on countless dinner tables and put men to work. I'm proud of my heritage. Counting my Yaqui roots, we've been in the Sonoran Desert for more than a millennium. Guess we kinda like it here. Happy huntin everybody...

No why, is that where you troll?

Thanks. Its nice to know I can count on supportive people.I support a new avatar for ya...

14-7 Eagles Went to a Coyote game the other night and had a blast. Far more entertaining and enjoyable than any football game I'd ever been to. Oh, and there was no protesting. Give it a try.

Almost 50 years ago my dad shot a buck with a large caliber rifle. Trouble is the bullet passed thru, traveled down range and killed a doe too. Game and Fish was so heavy handed back then too that a very honest man chose to feed the bears rather than report what had happened and hope a warden would believe and understand the accident. Too bad, a needy family could have been fed.

Two great guys whom have enriched this great website.
