Woof Creek is part of the historic mining district of Placerville, with patented placer mines extending up Woof Creek, just south of the claims. There are existing mining claims that encompass all up & down Woof Creek (abutting these claims to the north and south), and from the pictures illustrated in “Show me the Gold” (see below) & patented lodes from the geological reports, it’s easy to understand how rich the prospects and potential is in here. This area is fairly accessible mid-spring when other areas tend to still be snowed in. Woof Creek is open to dredging, and so a lot of potential. These claims are located about 11.5 miles out of Garden Valley, which has full services, or 1.5 miles out of the historic ghost town of Placerville, with easy access into the claims. There are a couple areas on the south end of Woof Karats for setting up camp (as shown in the photos).
