Field notes
The guide sorts destinations by practical reach rather than romantic legend, distinguishing a roughly 45-minute trip to Greaterville from longer drives to Rich Hill and Lynx Creek. It explains that dry washes shape the equipment and technique, while claim status shapes where a visitor can legally work. Lynx Creek is presented as an unusual public option permitting hands, pans, and small non-motorized equipment; other districts may require club access or records research.
