At the Pomona show, I'm sure Keene will have a booth there. Talk to Pat K. ,a damn good guy.Where you are located is in a great spot.Lytle Creek, E.F. San Gabriel, The El Pasos, Randsburg, 29 Palms. Numerous clubs. O.C 49ers, Valley Prospectors[ out os S. B.],AVTHS, GPAA and a lot of others. Good Luck bud

Yes lots of places not too far from you. The EF is good for sluicing and panning. Hwy 39 off the 210 near Azuza. +/- 20 miles to East fork rd. go to the end.
