Describe Life in a typical boomtown?
It was very harsh living in the boom towns because of bandits and thieves they would kill you for your gold if you were dumb enough to brag about it plus you had to make shelter when you got there before nightfall, and plus when you heard about a newer and better mining boom town you would deconstruct your shelter pack and go to that town and it was hard because at first there were no railroads and because of this, they had to go on carriages so it took a long time and if you were stuck out traveling during the winter, oh boy you would probably not make. Also in these boom towns you were able to get away with anything because their was no government and sometimes they had a sheriff but a lot of times they would just kill the sheriff so another words to sum this all up, until some of the towns got governed it was havoc.

Is the Rock Investment group a scheme?
Yes, I believe it was under Larry McGary. He has been asked to leave and attorney's for The Rock Investment Group have filed to have him legally removed. This is as of December 2011.
He may have published fancy documents and sweet-talked a lot of people, but the bottom line is that a lot of money was put in and nothing has come out.
Do an internet search and you can see all sorts of documents posted that are related to this.
He took many people's money, bought cheap land leases in Elko, NV and then did what is considered wildcat drilling. From people who were aware of how he was operating, there were many financial discrepancies, hence the reason he has been removed.
There is little evidence that the area where he is drilling will yield oil.
However, I think the new Board is trying to salvage something. There were rumors that someone wanted to buy their leases, but I believe that was Larry trying to build up some hype.
Larry has SEC sanctions against him in Florida and in Idaho.
Stay far away.
