terismithrockhunts.com/Anyone planning on doing this rock hunt? The Woodward Ranch is now closed, but the Walker Ranch which is right next to Woodward will be open for rock hunting during April 16 - 21. Cost is $75.00 for one day or $150.00 for three days. This includes all the rocks you can collect. In effect, they are the same kinds of agates as the Woodwards. You can stay in Alpine or camp out at the Walker Ranch for free. Teri Smith will be the guide. Sounds like it will be lots of fun. Condor

My buddy Frank and I will be there from Sat. April 18 thru Friday Apr 24. We're doing 2 days at Walker, two days at Singleton, Needle Peak and either Larremore or Stillwell on our "free" days. Can't explain the use of the term "free", as we're either paying to rockhound or rockhounding roadside. I guess unscheduled would be the better term. We might need a day off somewhere in there. Getting old sucks! I've tossed around the idea of Toyah,TX roadside collecting, but have yet to see anything from there that caught my attention. It's in all the books as an underappreciated site, but where's the rocks?
This will be my first trip to Texas. I've read all the posts I could find, studied the locations on Google Earth, emailed back and forth with Teri. My gear is already packed. Tuning up the car....lololol
