trip to the Claim
decided to see if the road to the claim was open this morning so I loaded up the quad, trailer with my minning supplies and headed out,
first puddle
about a mile and a half in and no chain saw.
only about a half mile to the river so I walk on down and
didnt take a pic of the one I could of driven under. on down to North Fork of the Yuba
then I hike on over to where the road crosses Slate Creek.
then hiked back up to the quad didnt realize how steep that road is until you go back up.
on the road out
I got those new tires for my trailer too.

Re: trip to the Claim
Dave, Have you had any problems with the forest service and you working your claim??? I have been reading some reports of access to claims being denied by the forest service.
Looks like a nice area

Re: trip to the Claim
There are fish have not seen anyone fishing,
The forest service has not given me any problems, my claim does lie right at the end of one of the OHV trails in plumas nationsl forest so I do think I am pretty safe, I was hoping they would come and finish clearing the road. someone had cleared a lot of trees up on the ridge part of the road and had started on theses.
Mike Im saving for those bighorns hope to get them soon. Im looking forward to the high lakes again.

Re: trip to the Claim
That's cool! I camped next to Slate Creek on one of my overnight expeditions a few years ago. Maybe I rode that trail to your claim and didn't even know it. I'm sure that isn't where I camped (I camped near the old St. Louis Bridge), but I poked around on various trails out there.
