Welcome from southern Nevada.

I moved from the mountains between Santa Cruz and San Jose a couple of years ago. There are lots of good, untouched areas around you.

Good Luck!

I love the cow spoon on the left of your photo. I've definitely never seen one posted like it before. Very cool piece. :smitten:
