The last time I replied to one of Gary's posts in this newsgroup was
Sept 1, 2008.

Google groups search is useless as far as searching for Gary's most
recent posts. I don't see any evidence that Gary made any posts
anywhere during 2009. His domain (grystmill.com) is paid up as far as
registration does until the year 2019.

This is probably some pictures of him:

http://grystmill.com/images2/

He has a linkedin profile that says he's in the greater boston area and
works in the financial services industry. His website gives a link to
Quincy weather (zip code 95971) which is a small town in the middle of
Plumas national forest (about 80 miles north of Sacramento). Indeed -
whitepages.com has an entry for Gary S Terhune in Quincy California and
estimates his age at 55-59. According to Google Street-view, the
address (1970 East Main) appears to be a used car dealership and service
garage (Smog Check - "We Certify Gross Polluters"). There's a guy
power-washing a car on the lot - maybe it's Gary.

http://www.quincyautocompany.com/

Hmmm. Whitepages says that Gary's address ends with "Spc 13". Space
13? Parking Space 13?

Yeah, isn't it - though hope he got to southern Mexico, I can see him chomping on
peyote to keep the woes at bay !!
How goes it Bill in Colorado?

Hey, "Pebble"!

Bears are indeed the number one danger in these woods. Black bears, which
are the worst (aside from polar bears.) And they're not just in the woods.
The beasts have been invading my wife's end of town, dumping out garbage
cans on the street, pulling things apart because they feel like it, and in
my wife's case taking up residence in her front yard where he was wont to
sleep, rolling out a nice big bed in the two-foot high lawn grass. She and I
are both incredible procrastinators, and besides, she thinks the bear is
doing a fine job of keeping things down. The state stopped sending out
wardens to shoot nuisance bears, or rather, they created a cluster**** of
bureaucratic bull****, cutbacks and firings (money thing) that there's
nobody to do it. Not even the sheriff will do it, and private citizens get
tossed in jail for quite a stretch if they try it, though I hear they're
getting up a vigilante crew in preparation for springs arrival when all the
bears wake up after winter--really hungry!

Next biggest danger on the trails is oneself (aka stupidity), followed at
great distance by mountain lions (one hopes it is at great distance and it
usually is.) Snakes, rattlesnakes in particular, don't apparently like these
altitudes, but I'm guessing there are one or two spiders that would cause
great discomfort. Other than that, you don't get to drink this incredible
water straight from the sources. There are a few different parasites
residing therein, the most common being giardia (soft 'g'), a microscopic
snail that attaches to the intestine walls and proceeds to procreate and do
all kinds of nasty things. It's most very in dogs here and that's why I
won't take them hiking with me.

To give you an idea, Quincy is in American Valley, which is ~3400 to ~3500
ft. The surrounding ridges top ~7000 to the west and a bit more to the east
(if I have it right). So much snow piles up in this county that we are the
largest single source of water in California. Hydroelectric, too. The gold,
unfortunately, is all gone, as are most of the Spaniards who used this
valley to raise horses, for which it is eminently suited. In fact, the
nearest peak is called Spanish Peak, and Spanish Creek runs through here on
it's way to join Indian Creek to become the North Fork (East Branch) of the
Feather River. It then runs down a very deep canyon (1000 ft or more deep
and only a hundred yards wide or less) into Lake Oroville, a reservoir where
all the various branches of the Feather River system join together. Then it
flows south to join the Sacramento River and triples or quadruples it. Or it
would if Los Angeles didn't buy it all from the state and pipe it south 500
miles. I like to pee in the creek back of my house and wonder about its
travels.

I'm still headed to Mexico some day, but the social atmosphere there is more
than a little uncomfortable right now, so I think I'll wait a few years,
make a bit more money if that's in the cards. I usually prefer 'shrooms to
peyote, though now that you mention it, the cactus might be what my brain
will most need in about a year. Might help with my memory issues, never mind
the neurological realigning. I have to hunt for peyote, whereas I have to
regularly decline various gifts of the other usual psychedelics.

Hey, I gotta go get things moving here, see if we can accomplish any of the
things we set out to do yesterday, after not getting them done last week. I
can't lift anything more than a few pounds, especially not off the floor, so
Becky has to do that stuff. She also works two almost full-time jobs so it's
slow going. We're taking the weekend off (4 days) to go to SFO. She's going
to dance salsa all weekend and I'm going to visit friends. It'll be great if
the weather cooperates.

I figured on updating my web not-blog soon when things stabilize. Besides
this heart thing, I have major movement disorder in my arms, and I don't
want to jinx it, but it looks as if they hit on the right remedy, a really
simple one, which really ****es me off in that the other ass...-- pardon me,
"doctors" -- missed it. Just like they seem to have missed the fact that
heart failure is the perfect explanation for the "seizures" and amnesia and
plain brain damage I've been having for eight years!

If you want to post our conversation to the group, edited or not, feel free
to do so. I have to limit my time at the keyboard as extended arms aren't an
approved posture with regard to my damaged pectorals, clavicles, sternum,
etc. If I don't behave, I have to take more oxycodone, and I really do not
like that stuff!

Take care, I'm amazed the group still exists. I have to try and build a '98
machine for a friend out of the parts piled in my shed, sometime soon when
I'm able, and I may need help!

Hey Gary,

Good to hear you're doin' OK Gary. The question often comes up (Win98
Gen_disc.) as to where and how is Gary Terhune. Well now we know. Very
lucky with your ticker - what with all the abuse you've given it (if your
website rave holds true!) Meth ?? Godnose I've done some drugs in my time,
but just the idea of that **** freaks me out. I stick to pot, beer and rum
these days, with the odd 'shroom when available. You must be pretty healthy
to be recouping as quick as you seem to be. Amazing the abuse the body
takes and just bounces back.
Glad you chose the cop and not the edge when you pranged it. Bloody bad
luck to get the injury injured. Pacific crest trail looks amazing - I'd be
thinking 'bears' while I was walking. At least in Oz we don't have anything
that would chase you down and eat you. Crocs only eat you if you swim in
their dinner bowl, fair enough too!
Good to hear you're happy and getting healthy, and playing happy families in
a place that sounds absolutely gorgeous "wondrous land of forests and water"
I can picture it, and living in the desert as I do, I can appreciate it.
The desert has a stark beauty that I really love, and out here in the west,
there are wide open spaces aplenty.
Great that you're well and happy, had visions of you chowing down on peyote
in Mexico! Time enough for that I suppose.

Take care
pebble (Iz)

Hey Pebble,

I know I should know who you are and I know that I know a Pebble and the
text is verification of you being who you seem to be (from the groups)...
But that's where my brain it's the wall of retrograde amnesia. I'll give
you
a short update to my website log. My aortic stenosis worsened drastically
from spring to fall and I had heart surgery on Dec. 23, 2010. It went
well,
I immediately started to impress the staff with the pace of recovery. So,
on
the 28th I was sent home. Five hours over Donner pass and then north to
Quincy. It was a true blizzard in some places, clear and very cold in
others. Which is where we spun out in our F-350 diesel Crew cab, long bed.
The choice was to go over the side of the mountain or crash into a cop, a
tow truck and the car they were hauling out of the snow. We missed the cop
and tow truck driver by only a few feet and then slammed sideways into the
rear end gear of the tow truck. I was the only one injured in that my
chest,
the incision itself, slammed into the side of Linda's seat. Got me another
ride to the hospital.

I'm in recuperation mode and feeling too good for my own good, exerting
muscles where I shouldn't and extending the length of the rehab. I start
physical therapy for the cardiac system and for my arms that get wrecked
by
constant tremors. And I'm actively looking for a few people who like to
hike
and camp and slowly build myself up to a few days on the Pacific Crest
Trail
by fall.

Otherwise, I'm actually doing well and having some good times. My daughter
lives with me and we get along great. It's a very nice neighborhood in a
very nice town in an almost wondrous land of forests and water. What more
can I ask?

Gary

Thanks for the info!

That should end all the speculation and rumor.
