Wow interesting story Sunny. Glad to hear you two didn't get arrested for fighting. I'm a little surprised you go out into the field with an old hand gun. I guess you feel that is sufficient protection. And you took his word on a picture only. So the question is who ended up with the Chondrite pictured?

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA's Curiosity Rover Caught in the Act of Landing
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/342832/title/Curiosity_lands_safely_on_Mars Answered my own question concerning the morse code being stamped on the surface as Curiosity explores Mars. On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 12:53 PM, Ron Baalke baa...@zagami.jpl.nasa.gov wrote: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-232 NASA's Curiosity Rover Caught in the Act of Landing Jet Propulsion Laboratory August 06, 2012 PASADENA, Calif. - An image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the Curiosity rover still connected to its 51-foot-wide (almost 16 meter) parachute as it descended towards its landing site at Gale Crater. If HiRISE took the image one second before or one second after, we probably would be looking at an empty Martian landscape, said Sarah Milkovich, HiRISE investigation scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. When you consider that we have been working on this sequence since March and had to upload commands to the spacecraft about 72 hours prior to the image being taken, you begin to realize how challenging this picture was to obtain. The image of Curiosity on its parachute can be found at: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/multimedia/pia15978b.html The image was taken while MRO was 211 miles (340 kilometers) away from the parachuting rover. Curiosity and its rocket-propelled backpack, contained within the conical-shaped back shell, had yet to be deployed. At the time, Curiosity was about two miles (three kilometers) above the Martian surface. Guess you could consider us the closest thing to paparazzi on Mars, said Milkovich. We definitely caught NASA's newest celebrity in the act. Curiosity, NASA's latest contribution to the Martian landscape, landed at 10:32 p.m. Aug. 5, PDT, (1:32 on Aug. 6, EDT) near the foot of a mountain three miles tall inside Gale Crater, 96 miles in diameter. In other Curiosity news, one part of the rover team at the JPL continues to analyze the data from last night's landing while another continues to prepare the one-ton mobile laboratory for its future explorations of Gale Crater. One key assignment given to Curiosity for its first full day on Mars is to raise its high-gain antenna. Using this antenna will increase the data rate at which the rover can communicate directly with Earth. The mission will use relays to orbiters as the primary method for sending data home, because that method is much more energy-efficient for the rover. Curiosity carries 10 science instruments with a total mass 15 times as large as the science payloads on the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Some of the tools are the first of their kind on Mars, such as a laser-firing instrument for checking rocks' elemental composition from a distance. Later in the mission, the rover will use a drill and scoop at the end of its robotic arm to gather soil and powdered samples of rock interiors, then sieve and parcel out these samples into analytical laboratory instruments inside the rover. To handle this science toolkit, Curiosity is twice as long and five times as heavy as Spirit or Opportunity. The Gale Crater landing site places the rover within driving distance to layers of the crater's interior mountain. Observations from orbit have identified clay and sulfate minerals in the lower layers, indicating a wet history. The mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The rover was designed, developed and assembled at JPL.

The instrument was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project and the Mars Exploration Rover Project are managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

Thirty four days in the area and not one meteorite have I found. Have been investing most of the time in what should be the large end of the strewn field. Thirty four days and I have yet to see a rattlesnake. I enjoy snakes so this is a huge disappointment. I bought a go-pro camera just so I can video a snake in the wild. They have caught over twenty baby rattlesnakes by the river in the campground where I am staying but I haven't seen any of those either. Lots of turkeys, lizards, coyotes, foxes, toads and bullfrogs. A few bobcats but no cougars yet. Did get to see a huge king snake but I hadn't figured out how to use the camera yet. It was good hunting weather this past week but is getting hot again. Hot days I only hunt until 1pm. Am getting about 7 to 8 hours a day out hiking. Am meeting lots of great people here and have looked at a lot of very nice stones. a number of stones are being found by locals on there own land. The more people talk t he more I learn about how many stones are not being documented. I got to identify Sammy's 27.5 gram stone a few days ago. She was quite tickled when I told her she had the real thing. I would love to find a few of these little gems but feel that the time is better spent trying to find the 'big one'. Regardless of the heat, ticks, poison oak, star thistle, cockleburs, mosquitoes and invisible rattlesnakes for which I come prepared with snake stick, camera and gaiters, it is a blast to be back in the field. Last years back surgery really did the trick and now am able to walk pain free from sun up to sundown. When I finally find a stone I will post a picture. For now it's just great to be out in the sun. Still raining in Oregon.
