Hey!
Comments in the "what's in your batch?" thread have got me excited. It would be lots of fun to meet some of y'all if you'd like to come stumble around in the desert. A group for a weekend or a few days, or individuals at different times, its all good.
There are lots of known sites here. Random stumbling even yields at least some results nearly every time. Well known rocks include a literal mountain of wonderstone, and of course Ramsey agate, many, many jasper deposits (most of it unspectacular but an occasional thrill is found. If I can find it again I know of at least one untapped vein that might yield amazement with tools and strong backs), both seam and nodule agate and chalcedony, petrified wood, and many sites I haven't yet checked out.
Many sites are accessible via passenger car if you're careful, sane and observant. 4x4 gets a lot more access of course. (I don't have a truck yet but definitely wanting to get one.)
Mcdermitt is also only 3 hours away, and there are VERY extensive and rich sites there. I haven't explored a lot though.
If anyone is interested, let's set up a target date or dates. My summer is pretty open.
If desired I can help with gathering info on lodging, be it motels or rv-style campgrounds. And of course there is a lot of open territory around town, so finding a spot to park a camper, trailer,or small rv in the desert is easy.
Let me know what you think, either here or via pm!
