Hi all,

It seems that some are not clear on the Holbrook meteorite hunt date/ schedule.

I have received more and more questions regarding the date of our
hunt. (Mainly because so many are joining late ? which is fine, I just
have to make sure that we are all on the same page)

Here goes:

The ?TRUE? 99th anniversary of the Holbrook meteorite fall is July, 19, 2011.

However, July 19th falls on a Tuesday this year - therefore I decided
that wouldn?t be a good day to host our group hunt.

Our meteorite hunt (which is in recognition of the 99th anniversary)
will take place on Saturday - July 16, 2011.

I (and most of us) will arrive on Friday afternoon, July 15, 2011.
This will allow me to check in and meet as many of you as possible. I
would like to have dinner that evening at the Denny?s next door ?
everyone is invited and encouraged to join us.

There are some very good meteorite hunters joining us. So, if I can?t
sit at your table, don?t worry - there will be some of the worlds best
hunters there that can (over dinner) school you on the finer points of
Hunting Holbrook.

The Hunt will begin on Saturday morning July 16, 2011. IF YOU ARRIVE
LATE YOU MAY MISS OUT! Don?t plan on arriving after about 8 am on
July 16, unless you know how to get to the strewn field alone.

I will ONLY hunt on Saturday ? However, others are planning on hunting
Sunday also. So, if you want to stay that?s fine.

Most of us are staying at the Holbrook Motel 6 ? But a few are staying
at other motels in Holbrook ? that?s fine.
Here is the address and phone number.
Motel 6 Holbrook - 2514 Navajo Boulevard - Holbrook, AZ 86025
              (928) 524-6101

Please, if you made reservations in Winslow (or anywhere else outside
of Holbrook) cancel them and redo in Holbrook!

If everyone
comes alone (and I'm sure that won't happen) this will be a large
group. If everyone brings only one other person this hunt will be
huge.

Rock On!
