[Rockhounds] Looking for collecting locations around

[Alpen at aol.com]

Red & Green rock shop is still there. 
 
How far out of Denver are you willing to go on that day you plan to spend  
with your rock hounding hat on?  Within 1-2 hours of Denver you can find a  
variety of things.  Based on what I've heard about Pete Modreski, he would  be one 
of the best sources of information.  I'd be interested in knowing  some of 
his suggestions too.
 
If petrified wood & jasper are of any interest, there are even some  spots 
within the far SE part of the metro area.  South Park, along Hwy 285  has some 
opportunities for petrified wood & jasper- same thing further south  on 285 
near Trout Creek Pass.  If that is of interest, I can look up more  specific 
directions for you.

Kreigh,

We were out there a couple of years  ago and Pete Modreski was able to show 
us around the USGS facility  there.

He also directed us to some great collecting spots. I hope you get  a chance 
to meet him.

Best part of the trip. My thanks again to  Pete!

And don't miss the Red & Green Rock Shop if it is still  there.

We learned about it form posts by Kitty and Bill on this  list.

Another great stop, and more thanks due to the Hawaiians!
Glenn
