Important Update (August, 2011)
According to the comments below, this collecting area appears to be on private property – or at least is guarded as such. As a result, I have removed all information from here. Thanks for understanding.

THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR PETRIFIED WOOD HERE.
I question the validity of the no trepassing signs at the road access points at N9137 & N9035 and the comments from Natasha Kocmich. This is a Legal Collection Site and I am currently working with the county to ID land ownership ajacent to this area. If anyone has information regarding this you may reach me at philmadson@yahoo.com
Phil, when I visited the area, there were no signs posted anywhere but things may have changed. I very much appreciate you trying to clarify this issue.
I went to this site is September 2010 and on the east side of the draw before you get to the collecting area there is a gate and a large sign that reads “No Tresspassing, Trespassers will be shot. Survirors will be shot again.” I turned around and left.
I went out to this property to gather rocks like the directions said, I was met by a maniac with a semi automatic weapon. THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY and I am certain this guy would kill you.
If you value your life,,, DONT GO OUT THERE.
I talked to the local law enforcement and they told me not to go out there as well.
