October Outing – Stratton Claim Barstow California
Posted by Tracy on October 14th, 2009
The Temecula Valley Prospectors October outing will be held this Saturday, October 17th, at the GPAA Stratton claim (CA-63) which is just North of Barstow. The group will be meeting Wagon Master Jay Picone at 8:00 am and he will lead the caravan out to the claim around 8:15 am. The meeting location is at the intersection of Irwin Road and Copper City Road in Barstow. Click here for a Google map of the meeting place.
This claim is located on USGS Topo map “Mud Hills” which can be downloaded by clicking here. Note: This is an 8MB Zip file and may take a little bit to download on a slower connection.
Please remember that this is a wilderness area and you should bring the appropriate gear for being in such an area. This is a dry claim in a desert terrain, so you should have plenty of water for drinking and panning. The weather forecast is a high of 92 in Barstow on Saturday, so you’ll probably want some sun screen and a hat or some other type of shade.
If you have any questions about the outing, please contact Jay directly at wagonmaster@gpaatvp.com.
Have a great time and Happy Prospecting!
