GPS: Site B – N34.937, W 116.758; Site C – N34.943, W 116.771

Date: December 2009

Notes: Don’t bother with Site A, very little material, none above tumbling size. At Site B we found plentiful agate, jasper and chert, much in 10 to 20 lb range. Colors were mainly tans and browns, but many included red and yellow stringers and spots. At Site C there was even more material, with some chert blocks in the hundred lb range. After gathering all the agate we wanted, we concentrated on looking for petrified palm, but found none at any of the sites.
