Why the managers there would consider us a band of thieves. They do everything as it is to stymie legit scientific collections regulated by scientific institutions, (I have a long story to tell in this regard) so you think that they would allow us private meteorite collectors to have a "meeting" there? Just the mere mention of "Nininger" brings a scowl from the managers-- they consider him a thief, and I even heard as much said in one tour given by one of their tour guides-- yet Harvey Nininger did more to reveal the true nature of the impact than anyone in his day... after all, his research revealed the presence of metallic spheroids, the product of the impactors's vaporization as predicted by Dr. Moulton. And this was opposed by Barringer for the reason that he believed that the impactor was still a mining resource to be had beneath the south rim of the crater. There is no meteorite there, and the only "mining" that occurs is at the visitor center.... the entrance fees are quite high, you know. My honest opinion... the crater should have been declared a National Monument and made part of the Park Service... That is my opinion. (And I am sure that if Nininger were here today, he would agree). But as for meeting there, I think the closest they would allow is at the I-40 offramp on State highway propterty, but not State land controlled by Bar-T-Bar, aka Meteor Crater Enterprises (And that includes the pitiful remains of the old Nininger Museum) Steve Schoner. http://www.geocities.com/american_meteorite_survey __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
