I was wondering about access to a certain claim. There is a closed forest service road that goes through private property. Do I have a right to use this road/trail to access my claims.
Or is this something that would require me getting private property owners permission to go through his land to get to my claims? Thanks MDM |

The FS is required to allow you vehicular access by law for mining purposes. Mining only, no recreation.
My claims are on BLM managed lands (fortunately) and there is a locked gate within my claim boundaries. I visited my regional BLM HQ and told them that I require access for mining purposes and they immediately complied. They scheduled to meet me there and allowed me to add my own lock.... which I dog-tagged with my CMC numbers. No problem. I'm not sure why you're getting the runaround from the FS. Make sure that you are inquiring at the specific "regional" FS Office that is responsible for the region of your particular claim(s). -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
