The mountains in this region are a soft gravel sand like mixture that makes walking around them hard, being 3500 ft up doesnt help either. I had to stop and take a rest every thirty minutes or so to keep from tiring out. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I went with a local collector, Jerry Calvert, and together we found two meteorites, one each. Mine a tiny droplet and his a ~10g with a neat shape. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Together we spent probley $500 on the trip and four days of time. Makes you respect Glorieta Mountain hunters a little more. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I have about 250 e-mails so please bear with me for a couple days. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Mark Bostick <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>www.meteoritearticles.com <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2752??PS=">Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account has exceeded its 2MB storage limit?
