I have always wanted to try to buy some land with a claim on it and just put a off-grid tinyhouse on it just because.
It would be nice to go up and do some panning/sluicing for a few weeks a year and just be out in nature.
With starlink it means I could still work during the day while I could also be out in nature and off-grid.
Maybe ill have the funds for it one day. Maybe I could BnB it to help pay for it to some poalers or something.

From the post:
>The Carissa Gold Mine at South Pass City was one of the Cowboy State’s most productive gold mines, drawing thousands of hopeful miners to South Pass City in 1867. The miners never found their mother lode, though, and the Carissa petered out within just a couple years.
The town — which, along with the mine, is a state historic site today — remains remote and all but deserted.
But a new gold explorer has been digging around in that area, and believes the old historic strike wasn’t far off the mark, after all. The old miners just lacked the technology to go deep enough. Past that level where water starts pouring into the mine.
Canada-based Relevant Gold, founded by geologists Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz, say they have already found several promising metal belts in Wyoming, including one near the old Carissa Mine. And, unlike those historic miners, they do not lack the technology to go after it.
