PRESIDENT’S DAY WEEKEND CAMPOUT AT THE HUMBUG CLAIMS:       February 18-21, 2022. (Fri-Mon) campout at the Humbug claim! This replaces the Middle Camp claim campout.  Great family campout! Spend the weekend or longer on our Humbug claim in the Dale Mining District or just come for the day to drywash and metal detect. Great opportunity to get familiar with the claim and venture out to our other claim in this area, the Lucky Nugget. Old mining areas galore to explore in surrounding hills and great fun camping. Four-wheel drive highly recommended for access to the area. Be sure to bring something for Saturday night's potluck.
