Leo,
I have been there one time on a day trip to meet some other prospectors. I have a cabin about six miles from RC, no need to stay there.
Beautiful area to mine, lots of room to roam, miles of river, plenty of water year round and other fun things to do in the area.
I would recommended late spring early summer. Waiting to mid or late summer and the temps can be very warm, 100+ is normal
Early fall can be nice. There is hydro electricity produced some miles above RC, water temps stay pretty consistent your round
RC also has a working gold mine above the river, although the time I was there, the campers were not allowed for safety, but as Adam points
out RC will bring you a pile of dirt, Adam is also right about the Saturday night BBQ,, its something. We have tried to attend a few times only
to be told sold out.
Not sure how they work the in and out of RC thing. In the past, they would escort you in, you were in, no in and outs.
As you get closer to departure, we can talk.
Bill
