I was thinking bacon when I saw all the slabs laid out too. That's some awesome looking agate Garry.

Add a few fried eggs and there is breakfast. Those slabs look just like Sunday bacon

Garry,
Yep, that's the Pisgah Crater Road site in the Southern Cady's. I took Woody there around last December.
You wouldn't recognize the location now. The road that had been forged back there is now so sandy, it's almost impossible to navigate in places. The hillsides have been gutted in locations and huge amounts of material taken out.
It's an amazing place, but it's incredible how fast new places turn old. You hit it at the right time.
Beautiful material.
(Hey - do I have permission to poach your photo for the Agate Index? thanks)
