I was just talking to a gentleman about the Ark. river North of Beuna vista and they said that is has been closed by the BLM for any prospecting from the GPAA claims down to jump rock, has any one else heard this as well, I haven't had the chance to call the local office yet to confirm. I have fished spots along that stretch but was going to try a little prospecting there this year as well.

Thanks CP, that helps clarify things.
![]() I had a feeling that this might be a designated "special use" or "recreational use" area and quite possibly within their rights to administer a recreational closure. It's unfortunate that "recreational" prospecting seems to have been singled out but possibly justifiable if what they say is true. ... as not to risk another derailment of this thread, I'll just add that I agree with you regarding the implications and negative repercussions of "recreational" labeled prospecting. Recreational prospectors do not share the same rights as miners. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
