[Rockhounds] Fairburn Agates in South Dakota

[Amazing Agates]

Stop at the National Grasslands Office on Main St. in Wall, just down 
the street from Wall Drug. They have up to date maps and can give you 
directions to a couple of places not far from the interstate in both 
directions from Wall. It is best to get a current map from them because 
National Grasslands land and private land are often swapped and you can 
end up trespassing without meaning to. Fairburns are notoriously hard to 
find, but you will probably find some nice Bubblegum Agates, petrified 
wood and Prairie Agates. Good luck!
