Drum Mountain Range, Millard County, Utah - GRE, Inc. Gold Rush Expeditions - 2006

This is a cursory exploration of the north end of the Drum Mountain Range in 2006. Little did we know that it would take nearly 2 years to get out here again and explore in more depth. The range is huge, and every canyon hides a claim, or a bit of history. It is also remote, and we never saw another soul while we were in the range.

If you visit these sites, please be respectful and leave everything as you find it. This includes relics and any artifacts you may come across; the Antiquities Act of 1906 makes it a federal crime to move or disturb any relics or artifacts that could be of historical significance.
Since 2004, Gold Rush Expeditions has been working to save these historic sites as a part of Utahs heritage. Unfortunately, State and Federal mandates are against us, Utahs Governor, John Huntsman, Jr. has been made aware of the situation, but still does nothing.. His office has been contacted numerous times and still the destruction continues. Additionally, the BLM, and the Office of Surface Mining has disregarded our arguments. Even when presented with hundreds of letters from concerned citizens.

Please take a moment to help us save Utahs mining heritage, visit our website at www.goldrushexpeditions.com and click on the "Action Items" to send an email to all of the interested parties with one simple click.
