Looks like fun, guys! Someone PLEASE post a trip report. Tela, The west is the best. Get here & we'll do the rest. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Lynn

I really wish I could go and everything was working smooth but that's the way it goes. I tried and maybe... But I have a better chance of getting struck by lighting than going on the trip.
I had lots of help (Shotgunner, Jeannie, zarguy) and others, thank you all.
Pics are a most.please don't forget.

You fine folks would not believe the shit storm this thread stirred up with the local rock club here. The mere mentioning of guiding anyone on this outing to the club's "sacred places" has threatened to end decades-long friendships and associations. I'm completely blown away.

Don, it is only a few members, not the whole club.

Don, it is only a few members, not the whole club. And those few are whiny bitches that want to claim something as their own that they didn't even bother to put an actual claim on. They should learn that the more people no about a secret the less likely it will remain secret. Wanna keep a site secret? Then tell nobody and take its locale to your grave. ETA Is it howardite or Stephoinite that has that story?

@shotgunner some of the ground up there is on mining claims. That is part of the dispute.

The BLM told me if the land has a claim for mining, we can surface collect as long as we don't do it when they're working. Ive not seen any evidence of recent mining, no equipment, no humans except rockhounds. Lynn

@shotgunner some of the ground up there is on mining claims. That is part of the dispute. And we do need to be respectful of such, thanks for the context, 1dave.

I totally believe it and very sorry if it's causing you any trouble. There aren't many places in MS to hunt that's not on private land An our club is always scared that they will get tired of us or others going on they're own and restrict access. The positive part about this group getting together hounding anywhere would be the respect I think we all have for this wonderful hobby, others and the land.

I'll have to come back for all of that Dave. This trip all I want to do is Lick Rocks from sunrise to sunset 😂😂 Lynn zarguy, you'll get to experience my family's frustration with me. When everyone has been ready to go for a few hours, they are trying to be nice and they have to deal with this "kid on crack" me, saying ok 5 more minutes!!! I AM GETTING BETTER

If they have a true claim, and it is well marked, i have zero doubt we will respect this. I would simply take float and chips for tumbles. I and all the friends we have at RTH are respectful of others property. Shoot, they can set up a fee dig and everyone wins. BTW if it's on true claim, the locale is public record. Our trip has zero to do with outing a secret. Don
