Got to head up to South Dakota on Saturday and thought I'd share a few pics from the trip. Pretty decent day, two of my sons and came, along with my daughter and her boyfriend. We found some decent Teepees- even some cabbable ones! Thanks for looking...I'll post some rock pics later.

Thanks for taking us along. What are all those light colored rocks? From what I understand (which is usually very little ), the tan rocks are chert. The agates are enclosed in the chert. They say that's a quarry, where they used to be able to mine with big equipment. When you go there you can find pieces like the smaller ones that I've found on up. You can either walk around and see what's exposed or pick a spot, sit down and start moving rock. We do a little of both. There are also other spots that you can find Teepees on hillsides, flats, etc. We did a little of that also. Here's a link, I think this guy answers your question better than I could! csmsgeologypost.blogspot.com/2012/08/cracking-rocks-at-teepee-canyon.html
