  If anyone visiting the Baker Egg Load Mine, they may noticed another bulldozed pits to the west of the Baker Egg Mine. The pits were opened by Peter Ghitney when he discovered some large thundereggs that look similar to the Baker Egg Thundereggs, but after spending so much money, he came up only a small pocket of thundereggs that he added only five polished thundereggs to his collection. They look like bleached Baker Eggs, but they come with pastel colored agates (hence "Pastel Thundereggs") that did not quite match with those of Baker Egg Thundereggs. I was lucky to find a Pastel Thunderegg at Peter Ghitney's estate when I noticed that its exterior appearance did not quite match with the Baker Eggs and it was confirmed by his son to be coming from the Pastel Thunderegg site. Baker Egg thundereggs are more gray, highly bubbly and as not weathered as those of Pastel Thundereggs. I did find few matching thundereggs at the Pastel thunderegg site but they came out heavily fractured but it's still possible to find some small but good agates from there.
