[meteorite-list] Glorieta Mountain

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Everybody,   Just spent the last few days at Glorieta Mountain....and the somewhat local casinos.    Man are those little irons hard to find.  The mountains in this region are a soft gravel sand like mixture that makes walking around them hard, being 3500 ft up doesnt help either.  I had to stop and take a rest every thirty minutes or so to keep from tiring out.   I went with a local collector, Jerry Calvert, and together we found two meteorites, one each.  Mine a tiny droplet and his a ~10g with a neat shape.   Together we spent probley $500 on the trip and four days of time.  Makes you respect Glorieta Mountain hunters a little more.   I have about 250 e-mails so please bear with me for a couple days.   Mark Bostick www.meteoritearticles.com
