    I am heading to AZ for a trip to the claims around Wickenburg with my brother. Can anyone tell me if i need any other special permits to be on the claim and camp for a few days? I am a member of the GPAA in good standing and have worked and camped on many of the claims in California. I have my GPAA cards to show proof etc., I just cannot find anything that tells me if I need any other permits to prospect on the GPAA claims in that area of Arizona. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Willie
    You don't need any other permits to prospect the GPAA Claims anywhere around the Wickenburg area.
    Camping is limited to 2 weeks on the BLM lease claims.
    Camping on State Trust Land requires a permit, $15 individual and $20 family for a year. I believe State Trust camping is also 2 weeks.
    Absolutely no Prospecting on State Trust Land.
    Search Arizona State Trust Land Permit.
    Morristown and Stanton areas have State Trust areas for camping.
    There are GPAA claims right out of Stanton, 20 miles north of Wickenburg and Morristown Jackass Flats area 12 miles south of Wickenburg on hwy 60.
    There's a few claims in Wickenburg about 3-4 miles south on hwy 60, Three Fault is 5.5 miles from the blacktop. A few more north of Wickenburg on the way to Stanton. Camping at Stanton might be a good possibility for you, give them a call.
    Hope this helps and good luck to you and your brother.
    Give us a mining report.

    We'll be there in April staying in Stanton.

    Yes I did I knew buzzard bait didn't sound right going to head there some time next week and I will use these directions . So what is the area right behind vulture ghost town there is a a gate with a wire latch I've been in there a few Times and found three spots with bob wire around them with danger signs it appears ok to prospect but I just don't know you can see a mine on the hill side from the wire latched gate the last time I was there, there was what appeared to be at least two dump truck loads of fine grounded quartz dumped right in front of the mine how it got there was a complete wonder to me but its there is anybody familiar with this area surrounding neighborly with vulture ghost town
