Cool. Thanks Guido.
I wonder if that would work with grizzlies.
In my experience, they prefer beefy hiking partners.
Oh well... such is life.

>>Great story, Robert.

>>Greg, Rob, and all the many others,

>>work
>>with the radar data. And, Greg, as you mentioned, even though we three
>>decided to return home tonight (hey, its only a 5 hr drive from my home)
>>without any stones in hand, we DID have a fun time. It was great seeing

>>"safe-at-home" Mike and Robert. ( Those are the only hunters I ran into
>>personally.) A special thanks to Todd and Robert for the
>>"six-pack-of-refreshments" for my son Rob, and my hunting partner,Jerry
>>and
>>me!

>>Yesterday was a perfect meteorite hunting day, with beautiful,
>>short-sleeve
>>weather and very nice landowners who graciously let us hunt every piece of
>>land we asked about. Not one turn down. One landowner gave us permission
>>to
>>hunt her pasture, but warned us of the 3 horses on it, saying she wouldn't
>>want them to kick us ( we wouldn't have wanted them too, either ;-) We
>>told
>>her we would keep or eyes on them ( but we really thought they wouldn't be
>>a
>>problem.) We were wrong. As we started our hunt, on the FAR side of the
>>pasture from them, they all 3 came charging over toward us. They were
>>rearing their heads up and down, running quickly right up next to us
>>off-and-on again and again, and even kicking up their hind legs very close
>>to us. Fortunately, since we had just started our hunt, we were still
>>close
>>to the fence line, so we were able to quickly make our way to a gate and
>>scramble over it out of the pasture. The horses kept up their threatening
>> charges and kicking as we made our way down the length of the fence to
>> our
>>car. If we had stayed in the pasture, I do believe they would have ended
>>up
>>kicking us.
>>
>> We awoke to very different weather conditions this morning. Completely
>>cloudy skies, a very light and brief mist/drizzle, and worst of all, a
>>BITTER cold North wind. The air temp was 41 F, but the wind chill had to
>>be
>>near freezing.
>>
>>The GREAT majority of fields in the area, perhaps 70-90%(???), are covered
>>in 6-inch tall winter wheat. That was very disappointing to see, and wiped
>>out a huge portion of any potential strewnfield.
>>
>>To all those still in the area giving it their all, the absolute BEST of
>>luck in finding pieces!
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>Robert Woolard
