Hello everyone. I just got home. No, I won't be joining everyone out there
tomorrow. However, today was AWESOME! I left work about 3 PM and drove up
to Park Forest, IL. I arrived right at 6:00 PM. I brought home a single
nice specimen. It's a 172.30 gram individual. I know everyone wants to
know what it really looks like... so I've posted a couple photos of it for
your enjoyment.

Notice the huge troilite inclusion? :-)

I stayed until about midnight walking around the streets with a flashlight.
(I have to be at work in a couple hours.) Everyone I met in Park Forest was
friendly... but after dark... it is an "interesting" area to say the least.

Good luck to everyone out there tomorrow. I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Brice D. Hornback
