Hi all. I'm going to be out in Salt lake city in late April for a work conference, and I'm hoping to take a couple extra days to head down to the dugway geode beds and the surrounding areas to do some collecting while I'm there (I'm from Minnesota, so I'd like to take advantage of this time since its a long trip and work is paying for me to fly out there ;D).
Does anyone have any advice for collecting in the area? I came across the post by Steve about dugway geode beds being a paysite now with the picture of the sign posted back in December. I've attempted e-mailing and calling the bug house people to ask about digging on their claim, but have not gotten either a response, or an answer when I've tried their number.
Besides just their claim, does anyone have any other recommended areas to dig for geodes, or collect agates in the area? I'm planning on renting a jeep on April 25th or so, and heading down to the dugway area for 2 days, maybe 3 to do some collecting and any suggestions people might have would be greatly appreciated. GPS coordinates if anyone has them would be spectacular.
I'd also be open to company if anyone else would like to go, preferably someone who's been to the area before and can show me the good collecting sites since this is a rare chance for me to get to do some collecting out in Utah . My available dates are likely April 25th - 27 or 28. That would be after my work conference which I would prefer, but another option would be to go before the conference, and that would be April 17th - 19th or so.
