I think I am going to give this one a go.
I actually think I saw this one. Only 3hrs away from me. If I can round up some $$ I am going to give it a try for a few days.
Best,

(Sorry two things I'd like to clear up in my last post)

"...It may not be worth it to travel 200 miles for though for a
weathered ordinary chondrite..."

I meant to say 2000 miles.

And "...and there's meteorites that can be found. .."

I'll change this one to - there's "probably" meteorites that can be found.

If I lived within a couple few hundred miles of this area, I'd spend a
weekend out there hunting.

Regards,
Eric
