Happy Holidays from the Sonora Desert .
 We got 5 hours of FOG here in the desert today, kinda strange. Only have
seen it twice before in my life.

Its been quite a long time since my last post to the list, as I had to go
back to my job teaching folks to fly
for a few weeks. I wanted to Wish you all a great and wonderfully joyous
holiday season. I also wanted to say congratulations to all the folks
that have made 1st finds lately. It is truly a out of this world feeling
finding space rocks that flew in from outer space. Kind of hard to explain
it
to folks off the street what a truly amazing thing it is. Also a big
congratulation to the
Hunters that have had there finds classified as of lately. Great job to all
of you. I finally got my Nov. Ca. find cut open & she looks lovely. We have
been hunting the Sonora desert the last few weeks and I have
found some quite strange things I must say. But nothing that I can for sure
say yes it's a meteorite. I got a few that need cut & looked at inside.
I just gotta say Meteorite hunting is so fun & exciting to do that it really
does not matter if you bring home the space rocks on every hunt. I just love
just being out there in the middle of nowhere playing with mother nature ,
taking pics, smelling the different smells of the desert. Finding strange,
weird things & trying to figure out what the heck they are. Finding strange
rocks that could possibly be a rare meteorite then researching them,
Studying the earths colors & textures on Google earth then going out and
flying over it in person. Then
hunting those areas you have studied in detail. Cutting , slicing, and
polishing all my great finds. And now the excitement of getting special
finds classified by Science to see what type of Meteorite
I found. The excitement just keep growing. Now with new dreams of hunting
fresh falls from around the globe . Plus studying old falls that need to be
looked over again and again. WOW, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth.
 I wanted to send a special thanks to some of my fellow meteorite hunters
for
all you have done this last year to make my journey into the world of
meteorites easer by watching videos and reading your stories of Hunts from
around U.S. and world. Out here in the desert I don't get T.V. stations to
watch. So I have now down loaded my favorite TV show onto my laptop. I now
have both seasons 1 and 2 of Meteorite Men to watch any time I wish. So a
special thanks to Robert Verish & Moni, Rob Matson , Ruben Garcia, Steve
Arnold
and Geoff Notkin , Sonny Clary , Count Deiro, And John Harrison my Id M
hunting buddy. Plus my wife Terri for putting up with crazy me & all the
crazy & wildly fun things I love in life. There are many many more so thanks
all of you.
Happy Holidays and Happy Meteorite hunting over the Holidays . May you find
that rock of your dreams.
 Best Regards
