Thanks for posting the new change to the special rules for that designated area Astrobleme. Sad to see it get further restricted from poor prospecting diligence/conduct.

Unfortunately there still seems to be quite a few folks confused about the Cache creek "special designated" area and the difference between a recreational use and a prospecting right.
In these specially designated areas like the Arkansas headwater recreational area, the district ranger has been delegated the authority to make any special rules they deem needed for that specific area only. The "special rules" do not apply outside of that area nor would it set a precedence as I see it for real mining or claim owners.
Recreational use is not a right and can be regulated to death! Proof is in the puddin' for that right here!
Anyone "prospecting" in an area they know is minerally withdrawn (can not be claimed) by the weekend or on vacation is clearly a "recreational" use. Claim owners are just that, owners/miners 365/year on their own claims or leased for a living/profit, not fun.

Now I could yammer on and on here with link after link I've tracked down of my previous postings on the subject in the past, but really the information anyone needs to buff up on this topic can be found by just simply doing a search on this forum (upper right on every page) for a few keywords or phrases such as......

Arkansas recreational

Delegated authority

Speically designated

Or even just the word recreational

Now hopefully many wish to really know the differences and actually do some searches/reading but it comes down to one thing and one thing only....
YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD DIRECTLY AFFECTS YOUR SUCCESS! No club, organization etc is going to be there to do it for you. Act accordingly and be confident in your knowledge of your rights!

Good luck prospecting everyone.....DIG IN!
