I've had one heck of a time securing a vacation destination...so I decided to scrap it all and start fresh!

I'm heading out on March 11th, loadin' down the vehicle with supplies, gear...whatever I feel I'll need (still working on my packing list). All I know at this time is that I'm heading south to Nashville to get below the freeze line. I'll hang there a day or 2 then head west with no real destination in mind...wherever the open road and treasure takes me. I might even dig for diamonds, who knows...or I could end up heading east as I'll be at Ma Nature's mercy. I'll gladly follow and obey good weather.

I've decided to share this adventure, from start to finish, on Facebook: treasure travels with tori.

My next big project, outside of research, is to build my own sifter:) Code name: Sifter Sister!

Hope ya join me in my adventure...and share your insights, wisdom and good thoughts!

HH,

Tori

I wish you the best of luck Tori. I am trying to figure out where I want to g on my vacation lso tis year. I am getting a new water detector this spring when taxes comes back. So I been tinking of heading to the east coast and work my way down some then back up to Ohio maybe thru TN, KY and IN. I was thing sometime in May or June. I willhave to look you up on facebook also and watch your travel......Matt
 
Safe travels on your adventure. I think Gibson guitar is in Nashville . A tour of the factory might be something to look at doing. Extractor
 
With all the rain we've had, I would definately hit the diamond mine in Arkansas. We spent two days there ..didn't find any diamonds..but had a good time.
 
Thanks to everyone for responding and sharing!

This morning I posted a partial list of gear I'll be hauling.

Now in research mode for the sifter design
 
I made my sifter out of 5 gal plastic buckets. Cut the buckets in into abot half way take the screen you want that a torcha dnheat up the bucket where youcut it off of. when it is melting press it to the screen and cut off your excess screen and you have a sifter. Plus now you also have a bucket to help carry your supplies......Matt
 
huh, that's a dang good idea! I might just have to give it a twirl!

Those of us in Tennessee welcome you and hope your visit is rewarding.
 
Tori, I'm trying to find you on FB. TNet has a group there...just tell me where to look for you.

I read you're gonna be in Brookhaven...just up I-55 about 1 hr drive from me. Just beware that the snakes are coming out...maybe not all of em but I nearly stepped on a copperhead yesterday. So just be on the lookout.

:wink: RR
 
Good Luck Tori on your journey. Stay safe. stay well, and enjoy. Look forward to seeing your posts.....

Look for : Treasure Travels With Tori...or you can find my personal page : tori james Northern Indiana

I'm not doing the Brookhaven trip, that was scrapped...and this idea was born out of frustration of having all my plans fall thru.
I didn't know T-Net had a FaceBook page...cool
 
9 days and counting:)

I so need this adventure...I'm compiling a wish list of items I'd love to find. And still working on the sifter..UGH!

I'm so excited...can ya tell :hello2:
 
Wishing u luck Tori on your adventure. Did you get your swifter mde yet. I not here is another idea for one. Cut out some boards 1 X 1 1/2 inches. cut a 1/2 groove down the middle of all of them. Then nail 3 of them together so you have a u shape. cut your screen so it will slide down the grooves and you still have a bout a 1/2 sticking out on the side you went in from. Then put your last side on and nail shut. This will give you a box shifter. I hope this helps some.....Matt
