Hi List,

I have uploaded a couple of pictures of a new meteorite find. The
pieces were found over a 40' by 75' area. It looks like the meteorite
possibly broke into hundreds of pieces upon hitting the desert surface.
I am also guessing that the endless freeze and thaw cycles over the
last hundred years helped with the fracturing process. The TKW of the
new find 2.4 lbs. The meteorite appears to be an OC. Here is a link to
the new find.

I have started a new photography page. I have had the opportunity to
visit several unique locations during my travels and decided to capture
them in photos. One of these locations was the Old Needles Theater. I
contacted the caretaker and was able to get inside and take some
pictures. As I was walking around the theater I heard footsteps and
what sounded like people scurrying out of the building on the opposite
end.

For those interested in Nevada history I have also included some
pictures taken at an old ghost town/silver and copper mine. I will be
adding more pictures from this sight at a later date.

This just goes to show that you can come across some amazing places
when you head out to search for meteorites.
