If you're not too careful, you may find something beautiful!

Rewards of a wonderful river walk...

Agates of all colors & sizes ;-)
Some smooth, some rough and not far from the originating source

September's trails

Followed a few hunches and tested some theories as to new picking grounds. No major finds, a few pyrite nuggets, calcite and some random small agates.

Even when the pickings are slim... remember to look up and around!
No such thing as a wasted sunny day!

Painted Hills, Oregon

You could easily spend a day hiking around each unit of the John Day Fossil Beds... Which should be named "The Thomas Condon Fossil Beds" to be more apropos.
