Hehehe....Johnny B should know better than to listen to me. ;-) That story was conveyed to me by a person who lived in Adamana a few years ago. He has since passed away. Also, it's the "Goodwater" area instead of Goodman. Anyway, this gentleman told me that they used some of the "old" railroad base as fill for their corral. I really don't think this is the case now as that would be all cinders and the owners tell me differently.
Bob Haag told me that the Adamana stone is an L6 and much older than the Holbrook fall. But if it was in a horse corral with horses, seems as if that would age a meteorite quite differently? Still all just speculation for now.
