I have seen a geezer driving a restored power wagon on the streets of the eye blink sized village of Tatum, NM. It is painted red with black fenders and has large mud grip tires on it. Cool looking old wagon and I would bet it gets all of 9-10 mpg if he doesn't exceed 55 mph. A few years ago there was an old army 2 1/2 ton there and I even saw it down here. It was probably parked when gas prices went up.
In New Mexico no title means no tags and you bought a lawn ornament.
Reuters and the AP spreading the truth presented by the government rep, eh? I don’t know about giant skeletons, but those three orgs are still doing exactly the same stuff today.Giant human skeletons - Wikipedia

That is as a pretty interesting historical rabbit hole do delve into!
From the biblical references to the hoaxers… thanks! Neat bit of background!

A real friend would fly down there for a visit and take the ammo with him.
I have a friend in New Zealand with an exceptional collection of fine old Marlin rifles.
Many acquired from visits to the US.
He talks about one in particular chambered in .32 rimfire
His gov has ruled it an assault weapon because it holds more than ten rounds. In a tubular magazine!
He has to go to great pains to just own it.
Anyway he hasn't been able to find ammo for it in a very long time.
Well I found a couple boxes and was going to surprise him for Christmas until I found out I cannot get them to him legally.
And I sure as hell don't want to get him in trouble, he is a fine old gentleman

Ho Ho well crap
Beautiful woman who I imagine smells like Virginia Slims and Chanel #5.
Best lever gun IMHO is the 94 in 45 colt. Such a handy thing…

Yeah there are for sure hoaxes about this. What I do find very interesting are the folklores from various tribes in North America about them. Do I know for sure, nope. But many cultures across the globe have flood stories as well. I have watched some shows on these giants and thought that they were pushing a narrative way to hard and not looking at anything objectively, while a few actually try to go where the data leads and it gets pretty in the weeds. But there seem to be some real data that suggest it was a real possibility. Some archeological findings came out of the ME a few years back that was pretty impressive. For me it is an interesting endeavor to find out the truth, a lot like how far the Vikings explored NA - not critical to my life perspective but thought provoking.Giant human skeletons - Wikipedia

I have a tree stand that looks like that. Except with ratchet straps. It's been in the tree for 15 years and every year I just add another new ratchet strap to it.
Like growth rings on a tree…
I have an old Johnson 3 hp, two stroke , two cylinder outbound that I use on my two man bass boat that uses that same fuel mixture.
I have one stand that the straps are covered in lichens but the straps are still strong. Sunlight is what’ll kill em.

Seems like there has to be a way. Might be expensive.
I use climbing sticks for all my stands. All of them have been gnawed on by squirrels. From the bottom step to the top one they're pretty marked up.
Finally bought a set of heated under layer top and bottom. Used them this year. They are nice.
Mine are all up in Ohio and Indiana. When it's single digits and the wind blowing. It's kinda nice when the sun finally gets high enough to hit you.

It has huge teeth.... It's not an ordinary rrrrabbit? Ahhh wahrned ya!

Any particular reason for the 94 over the 92, or 45 Colt over 44 Magnum? .454 would also be kind of nice.
My personal dream is a 1886 takedown with extra barrels, though I almost certainly wouldn't be willing to spend the money to have it built.
Winchester '73 is the greatest lever action ever made. Because... Jimmy Stewart. After that, Big Medicine.... Roosevelt's Lever Gun.

Having owned and shot in competition the 1873, 1892, 1894 Winchesters and the 1894 Marlin all in pistol Calibers. For a brush rifle, I lean towards the Winchester 1892 pattern for strength to weight, and it is a bit sleeker than the others. This is next followed by the Marlin, although it is much easier to mount an optic on the Marlin. Both can handle a steady diet of Hunting/Defense loads. But they ALL can be cartrige length sensitive for feeding.
In the Win. 1894, I still pull out my Great Grandfather’s carbine in 32/40 (32 Winchester Spl). A tried and true balance.
edit cause my grammar sux!

A double dose of the best lever action rifle ever.
Fires a true rifle cartridge.
I sense an artistic metaphor here. The rabbit is the typical American husband. The entrance to the cave is divorce court. The bleached white skulls represent the men that have tried to fight the system. The hideous monster is the system.
No argument from me... the Savage 99 is one of the greatest rifles in American History...
Only denigrated because modern Savage has no love.
Two amazing guns! The best of the best in their era! Winchesters included. Savage 99 was and is the varsity!

I assume this happened in Portland, OR. or Burlingon , VT. In either case... steer towards a Subaru dealer and try like hell to meet a blonde Norwegian exchange student who loves beltfeds!
