Now we gotta play armed guard along with out-law dredging!! Prolly why I have a gun close anyway! People suck!!

with meth heads, drugies, enviros, and a few wareing badges trying to get miners out of the woods. any thing laying around will get carted off.

mite be time to use gps units to catch a few. when every one learns that the equpment in the woods may mean you could end up in jail. it will not be worth it.

i envy the guys that have claims and can leave their equipment there all summer or over the winter. for me, i camp within eyesight of my equipment or i sometimes pull it out with me if i have to travel far to camp.

BIG steel chains and locks---camo tarp even on my claims--righteous god awful loud alarm--and .357 ruger blackhawk mag serves me allright--John

but when the wacos walk up on your equipment and vandilize it,smash/water in the fuel/steal it/send it afloat, theres not to much you can do if you dont catch them!

How's about we send a few of them afloat!!!! We were at an outing this 4th of july that had a "greenie" kyaker start yelling about us damn miners tearing up the earth. So's I started chucking chunks of ol' mother at him(rocks) and said"I have 2 1/2 miles of area to go and he best get to paddlin' cause I'm gonna follow him all the way pitching rocks. I was pretty good as a kid, and still ok. Was bouncing alot off the boat,and telling him I was getting my range dialed. About the time he got away I thought"Hell, those idiots are always tipping over and banging their heads on rocks, I coulda just beaned him with one and noone would know the diff" !!!!!
