 Hi list, Hey Pelissons,

To go there I organized an expedition with competant Algerian =
authorities and had all the paperwork done to be legal prospecting and =
hiking in the country. The meteorite I found (only one, we just crossed =
Acfer from one crater to another ) is in Algiers in the landowners =
hands. !=20
Times are changing, no?
Funny isn't it !
BTW, where are yours ?

Then when you get these authorizations, for Amguid, you just need a good =
pair of shoes and a large backpack.... but an helicopter is fine too.

Best day.

Michel FRANCO

  Dear Michel,

  We really enjoy your post on the mailing. We are a small team spending =
its time to prospect meteorites in Africa and in October, we have =
crossed just south of Tin Bider. During our trip, we didn't have the =
information about that crater so we have just concentrated our effort on =
meteorite recoveries on Acfer. A lot of finds, isn't it? It seems not =
well prospected!

  It was just after our return that we realized the opportunity we have =
left to do those fantastic bivouacs. Have you photos of these craters =
and what itinerary have you used to reach Amguid.

  Best regards from LA T.,
