My credo
The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime
Come on up to the Lake and I'll trade ya that winch bumper for a nice chrome one with a grille guard :icon_thumby:

Have fun up there, we have some nice areas a little more north with a bit less traffic . . . .

Tomorrow 5/4/11 I will be headed up to the mountains around Auburn/Cofax area to go camping. Got my camper ready and a nice bed built inside, got my fishing license, and my metal detectors and gold mining equipment along with a nice camera.

Just want to get away for the head.

Not yet. Still looking for a place to prospect. The Auburn Recreational District has limited places you can access the river at. One place named the Rucky Chucky looks good, but the day use is $10 and camping is $25, but it is a good location. Otherwise I have to wait until the snow melts. The Tahoe National Forest is not open to off road travel.

Anyone know of any good river access in Placer, El Dorado, or Sierra counties of California.
