We need your support!
The 29 Palms City Council should be voting whether or not to endorse Congressman Cooks alternative desert protection bill at the next council meeting on the 6th of Oct. Cooks bill is much more balanced for recreation than Feinsteins bill. It allows for continued mining in the Rt-66 area due to it would be a special management area vice a monument plus it releases twice as many wilderness study areas than Feinstein's.
We had a great showing...

The EPA just Nuked the Silverton Claim and an entire RIVER 12126 19
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I have been out with Surgery the last few days so I have not been watching the news or following what is going on, but from what I am learning the EPA just flooded the entire Animas River in Colorado with toxic waste from a mine upstream that they had previous back filled.
Just so you are aware of where this is located this is the body of water the GPAA Silverton Claim is located on, I am sure they will be closing this river to all activities for some time to come after seeing the damage they ...

What to do with Black Sands? 10946 8
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I am curious of what people do with their Black Sands. I have heard of people smelting them for their minerals, I know people that pour them around their roses to make them big and red when they bloom, but I am curious what most people do
I myself collect them and then use a magnet to separate them and send the magnetic material to school teachers I know, but several family members have told me they love them as a stress reliever by placing them in a clear bottle and placing a magnet to i...

Claim Reports 30957 42
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
Thought for a new page in the GPAA and LDMA sections. Make up a page for claim reports that members can post to, by claim number in the guide (which might change in new issues of said guide) or by claim name since non members can't drill that deep. That will give the home office more reports than are probably mailed in, and give members more information on claims and what to expect. Also give us a place to report issues with them such as missing markers, etc. For instance...

New BLM and EPA Regs, save the Grouse and Water 8959 3
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I have been trying to keep up with the new EPA Clean Water Act and from what I can tell any dredging in or around a body of water will require a permit, but the entire document cannot be found. Now there is also a BLM motion to restrict millions of acres of land from use to save the Sage Grouse in an attempt to declare them a endangered species. The new regulations proposed by the BLM will restrict the use of land in 10 Western States.
As far as I can tell the Sage Grouse is not endangered at ...

New Public Area coming-Oregon 5110 0
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
The John Day Basin Resourse Management Plan has finally been signed and gone through all the administrative process and is final and ready for implementation.
One of the things in it is a new public recreational mining area (their phrasing) in the Dixie Creek / Standard Creek area just north of Prairie City in central Oregon. This area produced gold in the past and is in the northeast/central gold belt.
They are now going to have to start the withdrawal process, so it will probably take ...

Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
How about a page where you can quick link to sites such as LR2000, Geocommunicator, etc. Can be a locked thread as no posts would be needed, suggestions for new links and sites could be done on this thread.
Might be an easier way for some that are not familiar with all the sites needed to get information, I know I don't know them all.......
