Hi Sonny,
Congratulations on the Official Naming of Yelland Dry Lake! You are
one persistant hunter and it has clearly paid off. Too bad our
schedules didn't mesh while I was in southern Nevada and California
the last few weeks, always next time. I was a little lucky again on my
last day of hunting, more on that later...
Again, Congrats on making Yelland Official!
Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

Hi List,
I just wanted to share the news that Yelland Dry Lake has been
approved as the official name for the meteorites I discovered in
2007. This is the largest known TKW of chondritic material recovered
from one meteorite here in Nevada. The TKW is 76 kg's, it is
classified as an H4. This is the lake bed where the Meteorite Men
episode was filmed last year. I revisited the lake last month with a
couple of friends and recovered several more pieces.
I have noticed over the past few months that a few list members have
recovered up to 5 more kilo's from the same lake bed. Way to go
guys, keep up the good work! It would be nice to see many people
enjoy this area as the many that have been able to enjoy Gold Basin
( Thanks to Jim, John and Twink).
I received an email early last year from a certain list member that
indicated this lake bed was located by Strawberry Point near Eureka
Nv., with other inaccurate information. This lake bed is actually
closer to Ely, Nevada and is in an area that I have spent many years
exploring. Hopefully someday he will find his own strewn field and
will be able to share his exciting news with us all.
Anyone wishing to get additional information about the hunting area
please contact me off list.
Happy Hunting!
Sonny
