Also, George Robert Johnston (1954 – 2004), better known as the Ballarat Bandit or as John Doe #39-04,

Wonderful stories!.... :D ...!

I spend many hours each day exploring the landscape (Flight Sim) and the history (Wikipedia) of the Old West!

Ballerat: I-395. Turn off at Ridgecrest, onto highway 178 leading to Panamint Springs!
