I can't hardly sit in my chair. Tomorrow my son and I are meeting up with a friend at 6am for a 2-hour drive to a rock show and to hound Tee Pee Canyon Agates. I'll try and post some pictures of the trip. I know I always enjoy seeing others' journeys. Oh and of course pics of the awesome agates that I'm destined to find! Hopefully.

You will find what you were meant to find. Have a great journey with your friend and son. I know, that's something I've learned in the last year. Some things that I want to find I don't and other things completely surprise me. That's life I suppose! Thank you.

Happy hunting!
You'll likely have better luck than at Pee Pee Canyon just east of here. Major highway runs alongside it with a "scenic overlook" parking area. From the amount of Tee.Pee. along the bottom, it seems like it's being used for something other than hounding or hiking. Seems some folks can't pull off the side and find a sagebush, or hold for 45 minutes to the next rest stop.
I'm thinking you'll get better pics from Tee Pee Canyon, too.

The memories priceless. Have a great day. You nailed it. Even though he's 29 I still enjoy spending time with him and my other kids. I think time is the most important thing you can give someone and I appreciate every minute.

So we had pretty good luck yesterday, tee pees are way more common than fairburns and easier to find. I'll post pics Monday. Tomorrow we're going fairburn hounding on some private land about 10 miles from me, the guy I'm going with said he found 11 the last time he went and that he's pulled 300 off of where we're going. It's 3500 acres of land to search. Great couple of days, I'm in heaven. 😄

Thanks for the update.
How does one search 3500 acres on your time frame? You must have a great guide who knows the land and what is there.
The time with your son is priceless.

Well I took tomorrow off so I could go. And how does one search 3500 acres? Very carefully... 😁 You're right, time is very limited and you never know how much you'll get.

Tee Pee agates are a hoot to work with - good luck on the hounding!
