I have seen what looked like an open grave discovered by Guido's wife, Joan and
Zann. There was a perfect rectangle dug several feet deep out in the middle of
nowhere. Perhaps some gangster dug it to make a point when Vegas was under mob
control. We continue to check it from time-to-time to make sure it isn't buried
over.

Caches of old casino chips have been stashed in secret places throughout the
desert. We were shown one location where tokens numbered in the thousands with
several rare ones. They were coming out of concrete, put there in an
unsuccessful effort to destroy them. It looked like fossil negatives where they
fell out.

A four hour hike from our house will take you to a very old aircraft wreck. A
short hike will take you to petroglypts and a water fall.

I once found a dead turtle with a transmitter hooked to its back. This was while
hiking with Sonny and Rob.

We stumbled onto a hidden dwelling surrounded by bushes with no power or
utilities and a sign that said keep the F--- OUT. We took it seriously and
backed out of there slowly. We figured it was somebody growing product or the
kind of lab that one would not want to deal with.

We found a stolen SUV hidden in a canyon and reported its GPS coordinates to the
police.


One time, I was startled by a dog running up to me in the middle of nowhere with
six pack of beer strapped around its neck. I then met the toothless owner who
told me not to be afraid because "Buddy" or "Bud" for short doesn't bite very
hard or all that often. He then drank one of the beers and offered me one. I
think I was more afraid of the owner than the dog.

Happy Hunting,

Adam
