One needs to keep in mind that area is heavily claimed and several areas of private property. So please do your research. I've had people all over my claims the last couple years. Most were coming from the Redding area.Several said the guy at the Prospecting shop in Redding was suggesting this area. One even brought in equipment to high bank. He had dug a trench to discharge his water directly in the stream. Hiked in pipes, hoses, tools, etc..Again, If you go to this area, please do your research and respect the mineral rights of others.
