"My family and I are heading to Albuquerque in late June to visit some friends. We would really appreciate any info on rock hunting sites within an hour or so of that area. While she's visiting, I'm planning on going out for some hunting fun. I already have a "Gems and Mineral Trails" book for that area, but was hoping for some local advice as well.
Thanks again, Joebit"

"Hey Joe, just went through there a little over a week ago but didn't stop except for gas ha. Albuquerque has some good agate jasper and petrified wood which is plentyful I hear in an area just south of there near Lou Lunes their wood there they say is browns, dark maroon, or gray some with reds in them. Also I read somewhere that there is good areas on the West Mesa which is right on the edge of town th
at has moss agate and pet wood also. Well New Mexico is called the "Land of Enchantment" you can always go just North of there where the largest volcanic crater in the world is located and check that out. I think it will be fun for you guys DB"
