HI GRANT
Iwent to Bickles Camp in stead of Kelso Creek it is 1.5 mi off hwy 14 at Jawbone ranger station
Met Mark at the camp a BLM employee
showed us the ropes around, and where to dig we found 1/2 gram with dry-washer 8hrs total
best fun i have had lately
relics everywhere
i forgot, but i am a member of Friends of Last Chance Canyon
DIDN'T NO I COULD GO IN MY VAN, ROUGH ROADS WITH SAND ON THE SIDES
It was a great time. Having a sun umbrella really helped. Long sleeves and a hat kept me from getting burnt. Gotta remember to wear gloves though.
I am going to join and go back there and try some other prospecting ideas. Mark was a real cool dude. 4 wheel drive would have really helped, but as long as you are aware and have some clearance you can do 2 wheel drive, AS LONG AS IT ISN'T RAINING.
Tomorrow I will take pictures of the gold we found and post them.
Hello--as far as jawbone goes-there are numerous camp sites.Also there is a good county black top road in.Kelso creek? That I am not sure of.NOTE-it gets very hot out there this time of year.Take plenty of water.Cell phone use is marginal in area.Ranger station and bathroon at jaw bone road entrance.
