Golden Fury
Crooked River Sold
This claim is weekender’s paradise and has really good access (you can see from the pictures) along with ample room for RV parking at the camping spots, that even a car can access into these mining claims, with at least two camping area options along Whoop Um Up creek located “on” the claim. Foot bridges across Whoop Um Up Creek, for extremely easy foot travel. Ample plenty of year-round water to prospect, with a breathtaking scenic appeal. Excellent trout habitat to bring the fly pole on those lazy afternoons. With this mining claim being a short 30 minute drive from historic Idaho City (with full services), and yet the off-the-road outdoors appeal having all of the camping, hunting and fishing allure that the area has to offer…and let’s not forget about the gold (see “show me the gold” below)… the only thing this area is missing is you and your high-banker. :o)

Pictures from running a high-banker for approximately 2 hours only to a depth of about 3 feet deep. With this much color on the surface, no telling the kind of color that is bound to be at bedrock.
