I hunted this Thursday through Sunday at Franconia.
I met up with Nate who had been there since Monday and
he had already had plenty of luck on both the North and
South sides of the highway.
He showed me a pretty big L chondrite he found while looking
for big H's on the Southside.
The exact weight of Nate's find is pending but
it is probably over 100 grams.
Who really knows which strewn field it pairs
to without classifying it, but it would be a shame to cut it.
 
 
Here are some pics of it for any non believers:

I'll post more pictures of the hunt in the following
days.
