This site (listed on page 26 of my book) is now closed to all collecting. I have just been informed by a local property owner that "rockhounds" have been accessing his property to collect without permission. To make matters far worse, certain individuals had the gall to use a chainsaw to cut trails while others stole boards from a nearby construction site to lay down over wet areas and build small foot bridges. I can't begin to express my disgust for the complete disregard of common courtesy demonstrated by these fools. These are the types of individuals who sully the reputation of all rockhounds and cause sites to be forever closed. Before these unfortunate events, the owner was more than willing to allow rockhounds to access his property to collect. I can not stress enough the importance of obtaining permission to enter private property to rock collect. Too many collecting sites have been closed forever by angry landowners that became upset because negligent rock hounds chose to dig on their properties without permission. How would you react if you looked out your front window and saw someone digging a hole in your front lawn? YOU MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION TO ACCESS ANY SITE LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. PLEASE GET PERMISSION BEFORE YOU ENTER AND DIG!"
