Hello folks!
I'm headed up to the Challis, Idaho area in a couple of weeks. I've been taking notes from several books and online fragments of info. Is anyone willing and able to provide a detailed location or two to look for some good stuff?
Thank you! ~Roland

Take the time to visit the Challis Hot Springs. Nice environment. I had read that there was agate around there and just blindly hit some what I thought were BLM roads (gravel) off to the east of the Hot Springs site (probably on 93A). What I was finding was clearly golf ball sized float, lying on the surface of grazing land. I'm sure there are better sites, but I did not have the info or time to explore further. I was going on the fragmentary notation in the Western Gem Hunters Atlas.The 1965 and 1971 editions. Let me know if you want me to send a pdf of the appropriate page by PM or email.

PeruanoThanks for the tip! I thought about visiting the Hot Springs, but it's definitely better to do in the Fall/Winter for me. I'll try your directions but you can also PM me that pdf if you have it. I'll also send you my email address if that makes it easier. ~Roland
