    What’s the longest dry spell you’ve gone while looking for sheds.

You will break the barrier and it will be a flood. :tup: Whenever I am in a drought it seems like when I finally break the ice it's with something special. My longest has been a single trip from dawn to dark and about half of another  full day before hitting pay dirt. As far as mileage I couldn't say as I don't keep track. But I have gone several shorter trips for BT sheds and been skunked multiple trips in a row.

I know a guy that might be able to help you out. He's going to start dropping hints to the wife this week in hopes of getting freed up this weekend!!

I am on about 5 trips and 20 miles maybe and even a trip to the OAk Creek rodeo!  :yike:

Still trying to learn my surrounding areas this year so I am not too suprised. You'll hit them again, I used to think the universe owed me one every 6 miles but Ive blown that theory to shreds.  :chuckle:

I guess sometimes it’s nice to know you’re not the only one !
