It's just below the GPAA claim. They border us on the north end. It's just up stream from the flats and muddy creek comes into it. Geno's spot will be at the choke point on a small bluff on the west side overlooking all of our dredeging activities.

Thanks Leonard:
I thought it was above the GPAA claims. I'm gonna check into your directions.

Hi again Leonard:

Is your area for camping just south west of the bridge?

GPS 41*06 56 99N, 106* 14 49 39W is where I'm looking.

Thanks.

Ok Leonard:

On the road crossing DC going west, North of the road and backed up to the tree line along the bluff?

I was looking at the parking area on the south side of that road, West side of the bridge.

Do I have it right now?

Thanks again.

OK John:

I'll be sniffing out the chicken flavored smoked bear sausage, fried taters and biscuits.

I'm not sure if I'll be there, but am trying to make it happen.

Stay warm! :D

I understand the wind can blow pretty hard in the area we are going to camp. Should I bring a tent that is tall enough for me to stand, I'm 5'8", or should I get on that has a low profile? will there be a problem with leaving equipment in the tent while I'm out for the day?
