Directions to the Golden Optimist #1

If you have a GPS, you should find it at:
40 degrees 06.464 N
105 degrees 20.186 W

Going north out of Boulder on 36, it's 4-5 miles to Lefthand Canyon Drive. The Greenbrier Inn is right at the turn off. The claim is about 5 miles west from here. When you get to Buckingham Park, take the right fork. You will pass an area where people are unloading ATV's. Keep going. You will come to a hard left corner. There may be people parked on the right side of the road in a small canyon shooting. About 50 yards past that there will be a large pullout on the left. If it's after 9:00, you should see my red Ford Ranger with a dredge in the back. You've arrived. There is room for around 10 vehicles there.

If you go past it, 1/2 mile further up the road is the Ward/Jamestown junction and bridge. Turn around, come back down through the big cut and you are at the top of the claim.

Russ,

Due to other commitments, I wasn't able to make it to Douglas Creek, but Leonard's claim isn't that far from the house. I'll do some detecting for you.
