Hi List Members........... Here is a report from one of the other teams that are competing with Adam and Greg and others on this new fall.
I just got the following email from Mike and Eric who are now in Lesotho (Matteo, this is in SOUTH AFRICA not NORTHWEST AFRICA). Take a look at the ordeal they are going through. The recent pricing from Adam's team seems pretty cheap when you factor in the hardship. Also, I am NOT part of this expedition so I will NOT be having any of this material for sale Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Farmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jim Strope" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 8:09 AM Subject: New Meteorite Fall > Jim,. hey, It is hell here, I am so sunburned and had > heatstroke yesterday.
