To those going on the field trip to Willcox on Feb
8th:

There have been other "organized groups" that went to
Willcox Playa with the intent to search for
meteorites.

My most recent "Bob's Findings" article:
<http://meteorite-recovery.tripod.com/2004/feb04.htm>
is a recap of past meteorite-recovery efforts at
Willcox Playa, and I make mention of this earlier
"field trip" in the above article.

Below is a portion of the text from that article:

help.
