Hey Guys,

I just spent the last couple days in Lorton VA.

No new meteorites have been recovered to my knowledge as of EOD today.

There are still several hunting groups working the area and some of
them are committed to staying for a while.

Its a relatively easy area to hunt, densely populated with town homes
and apartments with lots of parking lots, parks, common grounds and
businesses.

Numerous eye witness reports are suggesting multiple rocks on the
ground, but until we get some video or find a second stone it will be
difficult to define the boundaries of the strewnfield.

I posted an update with some pics and a couple of maps.

Thanks,
