Teaser: Nelson
Nelson's Landing
Feb 6th, 1999
This trip was chock full of mines and abandoned mining structures. Also,
the 'Shaft Cam' put to the test, we find some kind of underground bunker, yet another flat
tire, and we discover the ferocious Desert Horned Lizard. You gotta see it.

miniQuest Adventures
Historically, adventures have consisted of weeks or months of travel
across harsh vast wastelands or jungles. Within the context of the modern
world, very few have time for such adventures. It is also getting much
harder to find vast wastelands and jungles within easy driving distance.
Small adventure quests can yield as much fun and excitement as their
larger cousins. Miniature Quests, or mini-quests, if you will, is
what this is all about.
