NEWS
Miss us? Well, we sure had a ball running around for the two weeks we were gone. We have been so far away from an internet connection that we were only able to connect up twice while we were away. Since then, I have been blogging about every other day. There is a lot more to tell in the next couple of weeks before we are off again for 17 days, beginning with the Colorado State Gold Panning Championships.
First off, if you haven’t read the blog posted before the newsletter, go there next and read it. It concerns Cache Creek and our efforts to find the person or persons who were reportedly running people off with a gun this past week. If you have information you can contact us at info@hookedongold.com or by replying to the blog which will be screened for content before it will be published. If you do not wish the post to be published, you may say so in your post and we will not publish the post.
BLM representatives were in the Cache Creek area this past week and have made further recommendations for the area. GPOC will be working with them to insure this area stays open for prospectors. The biggest concerns were undermining of trees and safety. “Coyote” holes are being dug into walls with 3 feet or more of rock overhang. This is extremely dangerous. Another concern is how to monitor how long a highbanker is there and the camping going on in the parking lot. When you camp in the day use parking lot there is little space for parking. There are ample camping spots near the lot, so please Do Not Camp in the Parking Lot. Kiosks, sign up sheets and portable restrooms are being worked on.
The previous open area north of Buena Vista, that we were all under the impression was unclaimable, is now all under claim and is no longer open to the public for prospecting. A real shame, too, as it was easy access for anyone with limited abilities to get to for some fun and some gold.
Hopefully I will find time this evening to post the streamflows. If not, you can find them on the link below. Flows are down statewide, but still high enough to watch out for. Rafters have begun rafting the numbers on the Arkansas….they can finally get under the bridge! Stay safe out there and FIND SOME GOLD!

World Open Panning website has this year’s world wide panning competitions listed and they add more all the time. A great site to visit: http://www.worldopenpanning.homestead.com/ .
Until next week……
