6 FEET UNDER

Unless you have a jeep with high clearance you will not be able to pass the narrow canyon at 35.427175, -117.769035. There are large boulders in the middle with a steep narrow turn. I have a regular 4x4 with off road tires and got stuck. I recommend to park at 35.426483, -117.768667 and hike the short way to the claim. Cool area with several mine shafts.

As of 3/9/2019, there's no longer any issue with getting up the road to this claim. The road is a little washed out with 3-4" deep ruts. But that should be manageable by a high clearance 2x4 and 4x4's will have no issues whatsoever. There was no boulder blockage as mentioned in previous reports. The only area of any concern is at the north end of the claim where the road splits, the right fork gets too narrow for most vehicles but at that point you're probably less than 100' from the boundary anyway, so just park at the intersection and walk up that way if you're interested in the area.

Came up the road to about 300' from claim do to having a 4x2...Couple of large rocks sticking up in center of road that if you a 4x4 you could get by.

easy to get to, easy to find, it isn't to far off of garlock road, the dirt road entrance is
lat. 35 25 8.022703 long. -117 45 45.879965 it is a marked dirt road. about half way into the claim there is a few rocks that can be passed with higher clearance (not recommended for cars or low trucks) but if you are familiar with driving in the dessert should't be a problem, you can hike in or drive and park.

On my way out from ADK I wanted to check out the NE corner of this claim, from google maps it looks like it could be a promising area and google maps shows roads going there. There are a lot of claim markers in that area, next time I'll walk to the NE corner to make sure I'm working our claim. I did speak to a club member of one of the claims next to 6 Feet Under and he didn't think 6FU was anywhere near where I thought it was, so the next time I'm in the area I'll be more prepared and check out the area some more. Good roads getting to the NE corner, I'm not sure about places to camp, so if anyone gets a chance to check that area out post your thoughts, 160 acres is a lot of area for gold to hide.
