Italian Bar disaster update: As you know now, we’ve been trying to get the Stanislaus NF to evict the illegal occupiers down on Italian Bar road for close to a year now. We’ve shot videos of the trash, sewage, dumped batteries, a vehicle which was in the river and provided evidence of how a mining […]
We field tons of calls, emails and questions about the USFS and what they can, and cannot do as it relates to mining claims. Here is the 2800 manual which is the bible for the USFS on precisely that. We encourage you to read, open the PDF, print it and keep a copy […]

Most of you know that we’ve been watching and have been involved in fighting this Oceano Dunes fight for some time. Looks like they used flawed science in this, just like dredging. For the complete article, click HERE
We’ve been writing and educating folks for nearly a decade now on the difference between a “right” and a “privilege”. Rights are granted, like the right of access to a valid mining claim, owning a gun for your protection or the right to speak your mind without fear. For most of my adult life, I’ve […]
We wanted to let everyone know that the arrest/citation of AMRA President Shannon Poe for “defrauding an inn-keeper” (actually a sub-contracted garbage collection company hired by the USFS) is at the top of our priority list.
