Re: Remote Prospecting?
Thanks for the Ariel tour Chuck. The views made me homesick.

Re: Remote Prospecting?
I am familiar with all if those things at a docent size operation, but a small one man operation? Seems like a bit of overkill when the miner can access his mine in about an hour's time from his home. Of course I have not been there since 2003, so things at his mine may have changed a lot. But it wo...

Re: Remote Prospecting?
OK, now you have me really confused. A visitor information center? For what?
You also said this was a year round operation. How can this be when you can't mine in winter? Perhaps I am missing something here, or a lo of somethings.

Re: Remote Prospecting?
I didn't know about a neighbor on the river. He must have come into the picture after i was gone. I don't understand about access by truck, there is no road. Jet Ski I can see, but the last I knew he bought an airboat after sinking his jet boat.

Re: Remote Prospecting?
If the shoe fits; Remote Prospecting is becoming a Brand, a style and a way of life for many people in the world. By "remote" I mean extremely remote. There are places and I have seen only a few that qualify as being a world apart from this world. You can sense it when you enter into that space. NO...

Re: Remote Prospecting?
It is true that The Chena River Recreation Area cuts off overland access. But it is also true that Alaska is mining friendly and on certain occasions will relax rules. When I lived there a mining company got special permission to access their claims in the headwaters by going through the rec. area. ...

Re: Remote Prospecting?
The most amazing part of this "fish and river" controversy is that they decry the fouling of the river due to natural events and even wage war on miners because they claim we kill the fish. They ever even think or admit that their decades long mission to remove the Klamath River Dams will release mu...

Re: Remote Prospecting?
Chuck, that link you posted has so much misinformation that it would take forever to reply to it all. This is nothing short of a pure propaganda tool for certain factions of the tribe that persecuted miners for years. It plays into their agenda, so they use it to once again reiterate all of the prop...

Re: Remote Prospecting?
Many remote prospectors as well as others have no idea just how dangerous wildfire can be. This would be especially true if you were already in the wilderness if and when it happened. I have very recent, first hand evidence of the seriousness of this kind of situation and I was not even mining. My e...
