The Roadrunner Prospectors’ Club was founded in March of 1983 with 10 members, and with a total of 2 claims! In 2023 we have the same responsibilities as they did in 1983, but we now have approximately 1200 memberships, and over 270 claims. As you can imagine, managing the ever growing club has its challenges.
You are currently seeing phase 1 of the migration to our new site. Phase 2 will be coming soon which will bring 2 huge changes. Every member will get a personal log in that will give you access to club only features like maps and newsletters. It will also give you access to your billing information and allow you to pay your dues online.
The latter is where the delays have been. We tried to release the website the first quarter, but we have had a flood of members paying late and because of this the billing database kept changing, and phase 2 will be all or nothing, so we have to wait until everything is correct. We have given our vender the current database information and they are syncronizing it. Then we will verify all the information and be ready to launch.

The club is modernizing!
North Country Claims Maintenance and Marking has been conscientiously attended to by Karla Phillips. Karla's Crew include her husband Michael, George and Laura Johnson, Chuck & Sheryal Gentles, Jim Munson, Cody and Crystal Bennett. Honorable mention to Super Dog "Mosey"! Karla arranged for larger groups for road repairs and clearing including extensive chain saw work for obstructions and dangerous falling trees along Wolf Creek Claims Map 6 .
Crooks Canyon, Map 18 was more than problematic.
Here's Karla's description. "We climbed steep, thorny, slippery, brush clogged dangerous slopes dragging re-bar, pole and hammer. All of us fell at least once on the slopes and we all have tears from the thorns". Determination and success! Doing all this Karla discovered a need for additional boundary signs. Karla submitted a supply list to enable exact equipment to be assembled at the Roadrunner Office for efficiency on upcoming tasks. Her superior management skills made this all very doable. Everything Karla undertook was completed at 110%.
One last story, Karla even lassoed a RRPC sign tossed down a well. These are just a few examples of all the amazing work Karla has accomplished! Karla Phillips, Roadrunner Prospectors' Club is forever grateful for your efforts!
Our Miner of the Month for March is Bob Tenbrink. Bob helped with the roadwork maintenance at our Keystone claims (map 23) on March 2nd. It was hard work but is vital for keeping these claims open and accessible for all. Bob also helped with our club’s equipment demo & chili cook-off at A&B Prospecting in Mesa. Bob recently refurbished an old puffer to help find some of that chunky gold!
Thanks for all you do Bob
