Camped near here last night and decided to go check this out. Arrastra comes from the Spanish 'arrastre' which basically means to drag along the ground. Best one I've ever seen and not many of them left. Alongside Four Mile Creek, cut into solid granite, about 6 foot in diameter. The trough where they would place the gold bearing rock is about a foot wide and at least that deep. (Had ice in it so I couldn't tell for sure.) A deer came up to watch me for a while. Saw an interesting thing that I've seen others post pics of and wonder about, a feather hanging from a tree. In this case, it appeared to be a marker for a clumsily set live trap on the ground below it. Not really needed, as I spotted the trap before I ever noticed the feather.
