Anyone in SoCal go to Barstow? 482 4
Started by garcia92551@yahoo.com
I’m back and forth from the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire. I have a drywasher and a gold monster 1000 and would like to use my drywasher in the Barstow area but I don’t have a 4x4. I almost lost a bumper last time I tried going to drywashing claim. I’m new to this and would like to find a prospecting buddy.

Information on Triple D and M claim 627 3
Started by gabrielmcguffey@gmail.com
Hello, I was wondering if anybody from the staff has any information on the Triple D and M claim in Ventura County, CA on Piru Creek. It is the closest claim to my house and there is no information under the directions or prospecting tabs in the claim directory. I haven't received my member package in the mail yet but was hoping to read something on the claim in the meantime.

Angeles National Forest 9440 18
