Only way in there without crossing the river is to take the lost knife.  The river crossing by four corners would be better then crossing by the gravel pits. Can leave hear in half on hour to help out.

Just a heads up that the wide gravel area with the small streams through it by 4 corners is a mess right now too. Very high and fast water that kept the Hummer club from crossing.

Sign 51 is the lost knife trail start. Sign 95 is by thr gravel pit.do not cross here when hugh flows , if you cross and are swept down stream you roll over on the rocks and now under water. Sign 125 is by four corners.

We're still here and can't find them. Jeep girl is on her way out and has talked to them and thinks she knows where they are. Otherwise I've learned a lot about this area in our explorations looking for them.

I'm trying to get a link to the Ghost area map from SRD, they have done fantastic job of messing up their site

First day on the internet?   ;)
