		<description><![CDATA[Directions: For starters, Turtle Mountain Road is 26 miles north of Vidal Junction and the south side of the sign post says Indian Trail. But the road is hard to miss. It is also BLM road 434. There is a good camp site at 6 miles where the road crosses Chemehuevi Wash. There is no [...]]]></description>

Date: August 2011
Notes: We worked both the jasper and agate beds and had good success at both. Find [...]]]></description>

Over the Memorial Day weekend we visited the Hector Hills location. Mitchell&#8217;s map is fine although the site is expansive and takes more time than we had available.
The road heading south from 66 that eventually connects to the Hector Mine is a well maintained county road fully passable by standard passenger cars. For those without [...]]]></description>

We visited site B of the Lavic entry on Monday, May 30.
Mitchell&#8217;s map is fine although note that the rail road crossing no longer exists. The road is well maintained and passable by standard passenger vehicles.
Due to some mechanical issues with my car, we only went part of the way down Lavic road and stayed [...]]]></description>

Basically follow the main road 4.1 miles from US 191, bearing right at the only real junction. At 4.1 miles there are side roads left and right. Take the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Directions: Book directions are accurate, but the turn is unmarked on US 191, so be watching right after MP 141. Also, the Thumb Butte site is (we think) at MP 144.
Date: February, March, 2011
Notes: We stayed several days at the BLM Black Hills Rockhound Area. There are several good camp sites nearby and we had [...]]]></description>

Directions: The location is easy to reach and the map is fine. We visited Site A.
Notes: As the book states, Site A is expansive. We parked at the end of the paved road and walked east towards the wash, going approximately 150 yards from where we parked. After all the [...]]]></description>

At one point the gasline road gets lost in a dune. 4WD is mandatory. The 2 mile hike into the quarry is quite moderate, [...]]]></description>
