1966 Washington quarter

09 March 2013 - 12:21 PM

So, walking around the other day I saw a somewhat corroded quarter on the ground. Turns out it's a 1966 quarter.
Looked it up and a couple numistmatic sites say that a poor condition can be worth a dollar. Really?
Have never been much of a collector, but this one has me intrigued.

4 Wheel Drives

18 January 2013 - 10:55 PM

Well, since we're talkin hobbies, I guess I'll share mine. Not much of a secret, but I enjoy it.
I guess I better because I've never made a nickel from the shop (I'm on paper as something, but that's for biz and survivorship).

I've been into wheeling since I was a kid. Actually, cars and such in general get me going. But 4WD with a real low range is my all time favorite.

Don't have any pics to share, as I'm on my phone, but you can find some around on here and my Facebook page, or that of the shop.

I'm one of those folks that could do very well in the industry if I had the money, health, and cajones to go a few years broke as a church mouse.

Either way, I'm always looking to help out folks. 95% of us here have a 4x of some sort. Just let me know.

Johnson Valley OHV area near Yucca Valley threatened with closure Sign the petition please

18 January 2013 - 06:47 AM

The Johnson Valley OHV area near Yucca and Lucerne is under threat of closure for a proposed, yet unfunded and to not be used, 29 Palms MAS base expansion. This is San Bernardino County.
The area in question also has several mineral claims last time I checked.
The Marines can go in other directions if they want.
I know several are in CA, some within miles of this area. The economic impact of losing this area will be easily millions of dollars and lots of jobs. This is small town America that has come to rely on events in this play are. One example is the annual King Of The Hammers race (taking place Feb 8th). This event turns a dry lake bed into a city revealing those nearby with 20-30,000 team members and fans for a couple weeks. I know I spend about $4,000 personally during this event and I'm only there 7 days.
All in all our team spent a total $31,000 in Yucca and Lucerne last year for things from fuel and food to firewood and even RV tank pumping.
One year there wasn't a rubber boot to be found anywhere thanks to rain. Often stores sell out of beer and ice as fast as they can get it. The shipping store on Old Woman Springs Rd relies on over half her annual income thanks to vendors on the lake bed ordering parts and accessories for race fans or teams having to ship in stuff they can't carry or left behind.
This is HUGE for these small towns!

Please create a free, no spam account at the link below and sign the petition. Without help, this area will only be the first to go.
We need your help to keep Public Lands open and accessible.
Thanks!
