February Outing at East Fork

Posted by Josh on February 14th, 2010

February’s outing will be at the East Fork  of the San Gabriel River(GPAA Site CA-71 in the old book and CA-25 in the new book).

We will get there Saturday morning (2/20/2010) around 8 AM. The weather might be cold so be prepared. The river has a good flow going with the recent rain, so we can look forward to good digging and new exposed dirt. If you have been up there with us before we will meet at a place called the vortex. It is just up the road from the cattle crossing bridge, it’s the parking area on the right side of the road (uphill) with a trash can. You should see Gary’s Toyota truck at the spot. Gary, Carter, Don and a few members will be going up Friday night and staying until Sunday. Post in the “Outings and Claims” forum if you want to contact them.

There is good prospecting there and up stream as well. The terrain is steep so be forewarned. Make sure to bring everything you might need. Some things could be shovel, pick, buckets, classifiers, pans, sluice box, drinking water, food, warm cloths, any medications you might need, and anything else you might think of.

It should be a good time out there so have fun and stay safe. Good luck in finding that nice yellow gold.
