Les, Janiece and Deb worked hard placing corner stakes on 6 claims. Look for them, white PVC with red, white and blue stripes.
Claims Report from Les Armstrong: Messy Soup is actually pretty messy right now. Most likely you won't get in there in a pickup, an ATV is suggested. All the others are in good shape, accessible by pickup truck. Strawberry Luck is now named: Big Easy and went from 20 acres to a 40 acre claim. Watch for the map to follow.
Claims Report from Randy Hutchison: It is vital that if any member accesses any WPA claim that they fill out a claims report. This is required by the BLM when they ask to see an assessment we'll have them to present. Each time you use a claim just fill it out and mail it in. These forms are on the WPA website. Thank you!
Next Meeting: Breakfast on Saturday, September 12th at the Miners Grubstake in Atlantic City at 9am
