List, I humbly submit how I would revise the BLM memorandum with a few minor additions/clarifications, and a reversion to the previously established limit of 25-lbs per person per day. I would love to read others' suggestions as to what would constitute an acceptable policy. http://imageshack.u

I always thought that a rock was just a rock, until it is classified officially as a meteorite. So to me all those "unofficial meteorites" out there are just rocks, until proven otherwise by rigorous scientific examination and a subsequent meteorite classification. Chris Spratt Victoria, BC _
