Hi Adam and all, As you enter the dry lake bed from Primm, on the west side of the railroad tracks, there are signs posted no trespassing, from Federal Avation Admin. , but like you said, on the east side of the railroad tracks, on BLM land you can access the other part of the lake bed.They have put a hold on the development of the airport, when the economy took a dump, but they still have all the signs in place. Like Verish says, I believe the weathering effects bring up new meteorites on the dry lake beds. I can contest to that also from hunting Stewart Dry Lake Bed, and finding meteorites in a location I hunted the previous year, and finding the stones emerging from a dried out hole where the rain collected.

I thought most of Roach Dry Lake was closed due to building an airport or some environmental impact study. I saw road blocks a couple hundred yards into the dry lake bed that crossed the entire thing the last time I was there. There was still access to the smaller part of the lake bed on the other side of the railroad tracks. It is interesting that meteorites and artifacts are being protected by our federal government yet they are allowing other interests to crush and pave over all them. I hope the 10.1 lbs lunar meteorite that someone was destined to find doesn't end mutilated up under a bulldozer.
