Agatized Drusy Chalcedony — Seven Sisters Montana — The Picky Trap

Day 7 of the 3,000-Mile Run was the last hounding day. It was July 5th. We were at Seven Sisters, outside Sydney Montana. The mountain rivers had been white water and boulders. Nothing to work there. The Yellowstone was different. Good cobble, low water, agate everywhere. We had nine hours on the bar. We had to make an eleven-hour nonstop drive home after that. We were too picky to stop for anything less than what we came for. That pickiness has a name now. This stone came from that day. Day 7 the sun finally came out over Yellowstone. It was worth the wait. This was Day 7 of the 3,000-Mile Run. The full story is still being written. Seven Sisters Montana Story Bob had wanted to do a rockhounding road trip for years. A real one. Nine days, no plan, just a topo map and a rockhounding app. Janyce drove every mile. Day 7 was the last hounding day. July 5th. Seven Sisters, outside Sydney Montana. The mountain rivers on the way over the Rockies had been white water and boulders - nothing to work. The Yellowstone was different. Good cobble, low water, agate everywhere. We had from 6am to 3pm. Nine hours on the bar before we had to make the eleven hour nonstop drive home. We were too picky to stop for anything less than what we came for. That pickiness has a name now.
