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.

Ok, my piece.
Jon told me that recreational prospecting is illegal. Not just down there along the Arkansas north of Puny Veesta, but all throughout the San Isabel District. IOW no where, according to him, can I pan just for giggles. Or sluice. Or dredge. It's for commercial projects only. I asked him how is this enforced and he said it's very difficult because there are no real guidelines. But he did point the finger at the BLM, however. Later on I'll provide some better details on that. I will say that Jon knows that I study sediments and stream mechanics. And according to him, I can't. I am led to believe that I could face getting arrested. Which means I'll do it anyway.   -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |

I will pan, sluice, highbank, and dredge in the preliminary stages of locating my next commercial venture. I will be searching on unclaimed locations open to mineral entry. Leonard |
