Has anyone been to this site? (Havasu Lake Rd west of 95 about 25mi south of Needles). It's listed in Gail Butler's rockhounding book.
It looks like the Needles Gem Club has an active claim on the NE part of the hills, but I was hoping someone had some firsthand knowledge of the area. Rather not waste the time if it's hunted out.
Appreciate any advice.

Haven't been out there for a long time. I'd wait until September to do any hounding in Havasu though...it's got to be pushing 120+F out there this time of year.

Right now it's showing a high of 97 Saturday, and I'd be pretty early in the morning before moving on. Believe me, I'm not interested in baking in the desert. Was what you remember about the site any good?

I went there over Veteran's Day weekend last year using the Gem Trails book as a guide. I got some nice opalite with a wine red background. I need to do another test piece of the good stuff i found. I had no problems filling a bucket.
