Since we had a little free time over the Christmas holidays we decided to start a little renovation to the store.
On Friday nights we will be showing our movies in the lounge on the new projection screen and surround
sound system.
We're rapping up replacing all the outdoor connections to the cable TV system for all our RV sites and
Kabins. We are rebuilding and improving the design of our sluice for fossil and gem mining and the fence in
front of the main office is being replaced.

If you are a resident of Arizona as of January 1st, 2009 you must have an OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) decal on your Jeep/ATV to travel on the
State Trust or BLM. They are available online @ http://servicearizona.com.
Now, if you are visiting Arizona from out of state for less than 30 days you do not need an OHV decal for your license plate. You do need to
have proof of out of state registration.
We have access to 70,000 acres of wilderness at our back door. Here is a link to get the lay of the land. We remind you that these trails are
very rugged and accidents can happen. So we suggest you use caution while you are out there.
