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.

Carl, Thanks for the info. I to had gotton the same response from John in our first conversation, but when I asked him were I could find this law he said it was a policy of his district, I said he was taking a big chance of getting his personal in trouble.
I found out today that ANY federal goverment emlpoyee that abusses the law or infractures it can be charged with a Felony! what this means is if you are out doing what you have the legal right to do and you are harrased and or they force upon you, they are commiting a crime, and you may call the local authoritys to press charges or have them possibly arrested, this advise came from a legal expert that works for the goverment and said it is in the USC, I'm currently looking this one up. John/Meigan also mentioned that they didn't approve of the way the BLM was allowing mining activitys on areas that was closed to mineral claims, but there is nothing they can do about it. This legal expert also mentioned that it might be a good idea if issues keep coming up to contact our local reps and complain or file complaints with the head of USFS on the individual. All and all I believe that the term "recreational" should not be used any more with association to prospecting/mining/gold panning, this may help keep any more confussion from accuring in the future, Lesson I have now learned. So I am just going to go out and enjoy prospecting. |

there are some people that just keep saying that they are "recreational" even when you tell them the facts about it! STUBERN IS AS STUBERN DOES! sometimes theres just no help for these kind of people!
