I'm hoping the heat/humidity will ease up a bit before I start hitting inland sites. It's been brutal lately.

....NEXT WEEKEND ,Saturday, SEPTEMBER 23 , I WILL BE IN AND AROUND CAMP LOCKETT, CAMPO CALIFORNIA .
no specific areas yet and trying to get permission for the long closed/fenced Theatre . Many possibilities exist including the housing, and operating VFW , access to SOME of the parade and training grounds , many foundations and this property abuts the railroad-come-museum yard . On Google satellite maps , Forrest gate rd. Intersects with Hwy 94 . This road bisects the camp North to South (And parallels the Pacific Crest Trail, PCT from Mexico to Canada). Sheridan rd. bisects the camp East to West .
I have"prospected"these areas and many relics have been removed as well as personals, a few coins and militaria with few pull tabs !
If traveling SR-94 from town (94 frwy) eastbound , have your co-pilot search the north side surrounding hills that still have the old Stage Route remains , noted by the Chinese built, cliff-hanging roadways built of hand stacked bolders !
Cafe'B is a local restaurant at 1247 Sheridan Rd, Campo, CA 91906. Saturday 7AM—9PM closed Sun.
Fuel can be had at BUCKMAN SPRINGS rd.at Hwy 94 (SR-94/aka, Campo road).....a Subway sandwich/Chevron AND much cheaper fuel across the street next to a little Taco shop .
Camp Lockett WILL be made into a County Park then all relics will be off limits !
I hope the weather will be as nice as THIS weekend !

HAPPY HUNTING !
Mark.
Edit; the area around this camp has seen the gold rush Era, Mexican American war, Spanish / Mexico encounters , Stage service and robberies , Train service and robberies to South of the Border, Civil War actions , Buffalo Solders , Gaskill Brothers shootout, an original crossing from Mexico and more !

Nominate for Banner. You could hold a hold a national hunt, maybe a small prize (a painted rock with google eyes), get some folks interested, and find some fantastic pieces of history, invite local archaeology students out, wrangle some kids on a coined plain for fun. I just think its a fantastic generous offer to hunt in a very wildly environment than west of the Mississippi.

....Looks like we are on for this Saturday. Meeting at the little restaurant on Sheridan, above and time TBD .
I have PM'd those expressing interest in this informal hunt. Meeting time will be unofficial but I have requested those with the longest distance to respond with a suggested time to meet and discuss.
I will supply a contact number in a PM only.
