My sister has a house in Prescott Arizona that I am going to visit sometime this Fall/Winter. I will also be visiting my girlfriends grandparents in Mesa. Are there any public areas to do some surface collecting while I am visiting? I probably won't have time to do any serious collecting. Thanks! Dan

Hi Dan,
You will not be too far from Burro Creek when you are in Prescott, depending on weather conditions you can collect some of the banded jasper in the mingus mtns. You can go down to Wickenberg and collect the Mushroom Rhyolite. Sherri is in that area, I am sure she can point you in many directions.
As far as Mesa, your best stop would be at Ralph+Maryann's, or you can detour to Gilbert and hound my back yard :-).

It looks like we are going to be headed out for a short trip November 9-12. I'm not sure how much down time we we will have, but it would be great to meet up with some of you if we can make it work!

Hi Dan, I have a rock shop just outside of Sedona, not far from Prescott & some very large piles of quality rock in my yard in the Verde Valley. You are welcome to come by & I will take you to my yard for some good agate& jasper collecting if you're interested.

You are welcome to come by & I will take you to my yard for some good agate& jasper collecting if you're interested. I would love to check out your shop! I don't think I will be visiting Prescott, since my sister won't be in town, but will try to visit your shop. It is going to be a pretty quick trip so hopefully we can find some time to swing by. Can you send me the address and hours?
