Hi guys
I did report my totals and weights and I look forward to
sharing coordinate data when all the members of our team
agree we have completed searching the coordinate areas. We
have folks still going back and forth. The data will be
shared, but not at the cost of those with whom I owe the
finds to. So, if the MAPS article or Meteorite Magazine
article have to be this week, they will be short my data. I
doubt anything I have is going to shed much unforeseen light
as far as changing the distribution ellipse but I WILL share
the data, worry not. If you have to publish right away then
anticipate someone else producing the revised edition. It's
been three weeks, to publish the known strewnfield at this
moment is myopic.

things.

Everyone seems to be extremely successful and almost
everyone who came found meteorites. Let's finish it up and
get the data assembled in the best way possible.
