There are a lot of meandering cross roads in the back country though, so GPS is helpful. We might have given up on the rainbow site if not for having accurate coordinates from the book.

Date: August 2009
Notes: There is plentiful tumbling material scattered about, some already wave polished. Colors tend to be rather drab and for us most of the material is rather uninteresting. We found a couple of pieces of petrified wood, but nothing special. The oolitic agate from up [...]]]></description>

The new edition of Gem Trails came in very handy as we had no problems navigating the Glass Butte sites, Ochoco Lake, Lucky Strike Mine and others in the area. Directions were pretty spot on and the specimens we found were good quality.
