Where about in Rye Patch did you get it. I am through there quite a bit, but find it odd that you have never been to it? Did you buy it on the internet? Its a great place that is easy to acess and hunt.

The above web address is an interactive map of the "proposed mineral withdrawal areas in Sagebrush Focal Areas". Not yet approved, hopefully everyone here has written their letters to their representatives already.

If you already have a claim in a "withdrawal" area you have preexisting rights. Meaning, you can mine your claim even if they implement the Sagebrush Withdrawals. Miners should file as many claims as possible in proposed withdrawal areas to protect future access to these important mineral lands.

Edmond, if you would like to give me your claim number I could find out if it is in the proposed area. I think you can private message me here on the GPAA forum,,,,, you can do that here right?

Yeah I got it on the internet. I checked with the blm and it is registered to me. that map was good the withdraw isn't even close. when is the latest in the year to go there anyone know. THANKS

I was there last week just after it snowed in Reno. You can go pretty much anytime. As long as it is a sunny day and the wind is moderate I find it comfortable to be out there. Even in December or January days can be nice.

OK THANKS for that. Will try to get out there soon

i live in the area, if you every go that way and want company,, let me know a few weeks in advance
