Ok.......here goes.............. I am going hunting/fishing/camping/rockhounding for a week starting tomorrow...........I am going to put a Welcome NW Rockhounds sign on my camp site.........stop by and see me........I will point you around real quick..........the abandonded Clipper Silver mine is a couple miles from my camp............I have a nice vein of some stuff I am working.......there are tons of outcroppings in the area with fairly easy hiking access.......there are multiple lakes..........some nice hiking trails.........tons of beautiful scenery............. So.......heres my deal.........I am going out tomorrow.......I welcome anyone from NWRckHndz 24/7 in my camp..........bring ice and beer.......I got the rest.....Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th I will hang in camp until noon for any club members that want to show up and dig around.......I am still trying to locate an abandonded gold mine I saw on an old old map and am sure its nearby.........so There is camping space right next to mine provided I get the site I am used to..........it is open area so someone could be on that particular site......but there are others around close........so here is where I will be. You drive through Buckley.........get on 165 and drive through Wilkerson Carbonado area until you cross the one lane bridge over the 200 ft canyon a few miles outside Wilkerson...........then when you come to the next Y in the road go left.............UP carbon river road towards the carbon river entrance to Mt. Raiinier National Park........about 1/4 mile before you get to the park entrance there is a bridge to the left........cross the carbon river......and drive up that road until you get to Coplay lake........that should be the 3rd road to the right going up the hill........first road is blocked......second road is dead end.........third one will put you next to a lake shortly........go past that lake (CoPlay Lake) and take the next road...straight/right........dont turn left up the hill......go straight.....and about a mile you will see my truck with the welcome sign..This is East Lake....bring Ice and beer........if you come on Sat or Sunday............I will have been there for almost a week........so will be totally low or out.......... Come on up............lets have some fun......... IF I get my bear I will have to come home immediately to take care of that........but will post any change of plans............ So come see me. Whooooooohooooooo. I am NOT a Terrorist............but the Bears Do NOT know that.....
