Hi Walt,
Thank you for the compliment.
One of the main goals for the ColoradoProspector club is to help it's members learn not only about the prospecting itself but especially the laws/regs that would apply to ones activity during said prospecting and exploring and ColoradoProspector club members can always consult with us on those.
Although we do not have any researched areas near Steamboat yet, as a ColoradoProspector club member you can learn alot of useful information that will be helpful should you wish to prospect any areas you've found, and how to know if in fact they are open to propsect. Even outside of Colorado!
Not that we are "the experts", but we have done alot of research/reading into the subject as well as many other ColoradoProspector club members who are also claim owners themselves.
This is also a perfect time of year to join giving new members joining now all winter to research/learn before next season and then have their membership active clear through next summer into fall!
ColoradoProspector club memberships also help keep this website going and open for the general public's use.
We would be honored to have you and your families participation in the ColoradoProspector club! Thank you very much for considering the ColoradoProspector club as one you would join.
