Middle Fork Miner

I’m getting to old and stiff to hunt, fish ,and mine for gold… but I’m still trying. Currently I’m trying to learn new skills like meat smoking, and local herbal/medicinal herb and plant identification…I’d probably have never joined this forum but one of my friends gave me his well seasoned “Smokin Tex” smoker that he chose not to take to his new home in Oregon with the promise that I’d serve him up some tasty barbecue brisket when he comes down to visit.
