@@johnlewis7047 we took County Rd 217 to Soldier Meadow Rd, through the Indian reservation, then Knot Creek Rd to 140 (Denio-Adel Rd).

On the rear end did you end up welding new pedi stools or just flip the axel 180 degrees to get your leafs on top? I’m trying to do that to my Comanche and am wondering how much work I’m looking at getting into before I start it 7:31

Yes, we welded in new spring perches in the correct position and at the correct pinion angle. I did the swap close to 20 years ago before I had a good welder, so I just tacked them into the correct position and then had a welder burn them in.

The "Winners" was the Sonoma Inn originally. My step father was the Auditor/Controller until 1957.. we then moved to Pacific Grove California, quite a change. Winnemucca was a very cool town. Often visited Paradise Valley. Back when it was legal (pre 1968) over the years we found hundreds of arrow heads up around Cottonwood Creek.

@@campoutwestus Welcome to Winnemucca, a balanced community. For everyone of the 13 brothels there was a church. I really miss that town given it still has some of that "charm". By the way,, about a mile up Water Creek there was Chief Winnemucca's winter camp ground on the right (west). Not only did we fine dozens and dozens of projectile points ( arrow heads ) I found a Spanish bridle. The local museum director, archeologist, confirmed it as being made around 1500. Alas, stolen from my collection along with other finds. Keep in mind the county was named after the famous German explorer Von Humboldt.
