Re: [meteorite-list] Las Vegas
Hi all - From what I could make out during my visit several years back, many meteorite dealers were paying so high rents in Tucson that it left them with little profit for their effort. While list members are meteorite centric, we have to keep in mind that the Gems and Minerals do vastly larger sums of money at Tucson, and would likely do more in Las Vegas, as it is nearer to Los Angeles and the West Coast. Add in easier and cheaper airline travel... Further, with the decline of gambling, rates in Vegas may be set most attractively for them. Tucson may have taken it all for granted.

Re: [meteorite-list] las vegas
Hi Steve and all, The deserts of the SW part of North America are very unforgiving in late July. As a young man I spent a few years out there. Many list members from the world over have posted valuable information concerning desert hunting. Read everything you can before you venture into what can be a very harsh place. Good luck, Bill -- Original message -- From: Steve Arnold, Chicago!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Las Vegas trip
Lost Wages in AUGUST? Man, you are one crazy dude! Hope you find the big one. Best wishes, Michael PS: You might get one of those Tucson crazies to go with you - they gotta be real Gila Monsters to survive that kind of heat.

RE: [meteorite-list] Las Vegas trip
Hi Mark and List, I will be in Las Vegas for a couple days next month and wondered if there is anyone there who would able to guide me on a trip looking for meteorites. Maybe a favorite spot or known good area. All guide fees would be in the form of sunburns and desert creatures if any, but will provide gas money, or maybe the car (depends on terrain as it will be some impossibly small rental), eats and drinks. A tempting offer at most times of the year, but as Michael Blood indicated you've selected a rather sporting time of year to hunt space rocks in the desert southwest! Still, if I happen to find myself in Vegas at that time, it might be amusing to try early morning (starting before sunset) til as late as you can stand. 10am is probably about all you'll be able to take. I would only be able to go August 3rd or 4th (Thursday or Friday), but would be able to go all day either day while the wife enjoys her vice. An alternative suggestion is to hunt at night with flashlights on a dry lake bed (e.g. Roach Dry Lake). You'll have a waxing gibbous moon on those dates, so you'll also have some natural lighting to assist. Hunting at night at Roach is actually quite doable -- there are few rocks, so you simply check every one as you walk. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Las Vegas
Hi Tom (Peregrineflinger, etc.), Good to see you back on the list. Glad you found work. Hi, I am going to be working in Vegas and was wondering if anyone from there can give me info on hunting in the area? Just wander into the desert...dp into the desert. Look down. Find meteorite. Jerry PS... Take water. Beware of indians. PPS... Jerry's Tips: first one free, $5.00 each thereafter.
