Details: There is some information about this in the "New Mexico rocks & minerals: the collecting guide (including maps)" By Frank S. Kimbler, Robert J. Narsavage. It is on page 17 and is location 10. It says you can find red moss agate here. Go the book preview online at this google books location.
Directions: It says you can find red moss agate here: "Take Rte. 40 West from Albuquerque for 15 miles to the Rio Puerco Bridge. Go past the bridge to a white sign, turn right (north) and go 0.5 miles to a windmill. Take the side road to the white bluff. Collect on bluff." The book is 1981 so it may be a little outdated.
