It is about an 1h drive from Florissant Colorado. take 25 to 9 toward fairplay turn left toward Buena vista and right at CR 20 - go straight until you see forestry access road 117 on right. Take it. you will come to a four way with private drives left and right go straight . Dead ends and currently closed. there is a No parking sign on left side of barrier on right the sign is gone. Walk through the barrier go right the dirt road angles to the left go 40 yards and turn right into the woodline. Go straight as an arrow. I didn't find the pin but the gps cords I was right on top. I pulled a sample 3 feet down and ran through pan, VERY FINE gold 4 tiny pieces. NO WATER closet is about 900 yards west at 4 mile road. There is a sign there that had FMRC (Something Recreation Center? ) Not sure if this part of the claim or not. according to the GPS cords it is. Need leadership to provide some instructions as to accessing the creak there....etc.. - Sam

The pin leads you through a gated community. We went to claim and it is in the middle of a gated community. Have to have passcode to get through gate unless you get behind someone. Pin dropped in middle of pasture. I'd love to see someone mine this and not get in trouble with the tenents of this community.

No motor vehicles from Jan 1 to June 15 to protect wildlife habitat. Elevation 10,100 feet. You will be out of breath.
Take US Hwy 285 toward Fairplay. RT 20 is South of Fairplay. Turn West on RT 20. Go about 3 miles to Rt 658. Turn North at the sign Browns Pass 4.5 miles (Rt 658). Rt 658 is called Browns Pass Road on my GPS. RT 20 and Rt 658 are smooth dirt. The Coordinate Update by Walter Easton dated 5/22/17 is correct for the GPS coordinates. Drive through the heavy gate at N 39º10'07.96", W -106º02'45.47"(No key codes are needed. If the gate is closed by the USFS (Jan 1 to June 15), nobody is getting in). (There is probably too much snow to even walk in before June 15). Drive to the Placer Ditch (stream) which crosses the road (approx ¼ mile). The last ¼ mile of the road is rocky, with ruts and puddles from the ditch. Turn North right after the High Creek Ditch (stream) on Trail 178, called McFerran on my GPS. (The ditch is shown incorrectly on Google Maps). There is a fenced area that is a motorcycle, bicycle trailhead. It has a metal device to permit motorcycles, but blocks ATVs. You can park there. It's flat, plenty of space, with a motorcycle/atv offload ramp. Probably fine to camp there if you don't mind motorcycle noise. I saw no one there. You can use ATV on the dirt roads, but not on the claim. If the road to the motorcycle trailhead is too bad, the claim extends East with the SE Corner on Browns Pass Road (RT 658).

I walked the claim using Walter Eason's GPS coordinates. I couldn't fine a center stake. The Southwest corner had a stake with a yellow metal Mining Claim tag, but with no information on it. I found the Northwest corner stake was broken off. It had a yellow metal Mining Claim tag with no information on it. I tried to set it back up and piled some rocks around it. I didn’t look for the NE and SE stakes.
