So I wanted to just jump in real quick to offer something back to the board and its members , I will be back home in South Dakota(yes I travel extensively) in a few weeks,,, there are unbelievable places there that I would be happy to guide into, and the best and sometimes only way is lil subie4wd or dirt bike,,I dnt want to set off a rush but thats how I find the old mines out there in the Black Hills National Forest,,, I pan gold for a hobby,,,, camping back in the hills is still free and you wont have to ask permission or have a note from home,,, its really still America out here,, its wide open,, and the best way is by Subaru, flat out the Sub can made into a camp outfit as you know and I have spent many nights camped in the back of a wagon in the deep woods,,, man its nice. My next posts will be in other forums here to keep things in order,,, so great to be here and appreciate the fine reception and kind advice,,, freekin place rocks! doc

Hey Doc, I'm on the other side of the state, but I have imploded a few mines in the hills. I for one would love to spend some time wheeling in the hills, unfortunately I don't get to that side very often. Welcome to the USMB. Tim
