Nothing tops any of the previous entries, but once I found a light-bulb in
the middle of no-where. Huh???

I was angry because the low flying event by military jets has happened to
me
numerous times. They do low altitude runs in many areas of the desert
where
they should not be. But these flight jockeys love to spot some poor
bastard
in the middle of nowhere and then do a 'strafing" run on him at 50 m off
the
deck and > mach 1. Scares the Hell out of me and the sonic wave laden with
dust is no fun. If I were to have a heart attack that be the time.

like Sonny found but you can count on strange happenings if you spend
enough
time in the desert.
One time while climbing a mountain by Area 51, Dr Ted Bunch, Zann and I
were
startled by a jet flying below our altitude. It flew so close to use
sideways
that I could see the pilots face and helmet. Needless to say, it was
going so
fast that we were startled when it flew by. Luckily, nobody lost their
footing.
Ted was angry but Zann and I found it amusing.
I have been startled by sonic booms several times by unseen craft. You
can
actually feel the sound if this makes sense.
The wildlife never ceases to interest me. It amazing me how tough
creatures
and
early man have to be to survive desert conditions. I have also seen
giant cat
tracks among other things and would not want to run into one.
Take Care,
Adam

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
