Location Type: Public Access
Details: Mainly you can find small agates at this location on the side of the road and it is close to I-40.  This is a very well known location and is picked over a lot.  However due to its proximity to I-40 it is a good place to make a quick stop.  Unfortunately, there is a ton of broken glass scattered heavily over the collecting location.  Someone made it a shooting range for glass bottles. 

Directions: From I-40, exit onto US 84 south, east of Santa Rosa.  Immediately take a left or go east onto US 156 and go 2 miles.  It is up the hill and on the left mainly.
