If anyone's been out there, I was hoping to get some clarification on the directions. I was looking at taking a shot at this location this weekend with my son to hunt agate, but the guide books and Google maps don't agree.
Both the Gem Trails and Rockhounding NM books give directions to Lee Russell Canyon / Forest Road 49 as 4.9 miles from Apache Creek with a gate at the roadside. The sat pictures show that gate, but it looks like a just short spur road, not a several mile long road that supposedly leads up to Turkey Flats. What's actually labled on the map as Lee Russell Canyon and FR49 is a mile farther up the highway with an ungated entrance to a youth ranch and some homes.
Can anyone clear this up for me? Is there any access to FR 49?
Appreciate the help. Please feel free to PM me if you know the area
