i've spent a lot of time rockhounding at saddle mountain over the past two years and have absolutely loved every minute of it. it is so quiet out there and so very peaceful. where i was rockhounding is not an area that attracts very many people and is quite difficult to get to, although it is still blm land. there are fire agates, all sorts of chalcedony - including some hard to find blue specimens, petrified wood, beautiful jaspers, opals, and countless other rocks and minerals. it is a rockhound's dream. and there is so much blm land that it would take a lifetime to cover it all.
