Field of Geodes

Field of Geodes

Today after I was done with all the holes I could dig I had some time left so I went scouting my area so I could determine where I want to dig my holes tomorrow. During the scouting trip I went into an area that I thought was all badlands. I saw some vegetation on top so I went to see if it was large enough an area to put a hole in and map.

On my way up I saw rocks that looked like they had crystals so I decided to stop on the way back down. But to my amazement when I got to the top I found a whole field of geodes! There were so many my head was spinning. From the first geode I saw on the way up to the geodes I could see in the distance I think there might be geodes for a mile. I stuck to the area that had the highest concentration of them though. I'm going to go back to investigate on a rainy day that I can't dig holes on.

Check out the photos of the geode field, they're just posted to my Flickr Photostream today!
