OK...my last post on the subject and then I'm back to perpetual 
lurking.  Promise!  Sorry I couldn't make it hunting Justin, but days 
off are scarce these days.

1.  Holbrook fall witnesses in 1912 reported 2 detonations...or booms.

2. Adamana is about 8 more miles down the railroad tracks (as the crow 
flies) from the Holbrook strewnfield

3.  Did one of those detonations make the Holbrook fall and the other 
the Adamana?  Beats me, but is quite possible.

4.  If according to the GoldShooters forum, someone was spotted 
"specking" on the north side of the tracks at "Adamana".  If so,  they 
are on PRIVATE property.  Even on the south side they are on PRIVATE 
property.  I for one, would hate to be caught on the Fitzgerald's land 
with no permission. 

5.  Adamana is NOT on the Navajo Reservation (as reported by this 
forum), but it is close to the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National 
Park.  So is this person at Adamana or Sun Valley? 

6.  Sun Valley = Holbrook fall.  (No Navajo Reservation involved).

7.  Adamana = Adamana....not Holbrook or Sun Valley.

8.  Is Larry's meteorite part of the Adamana meteorite?  Looking at my 
cast of the "Venus Stone" there is only a small amount of material 
missing from the sides.  Not a 1+ kilo chunk of fully crusted meteorite.

9.  Is Larry's meteorite related to the Adamana meteorite?  Maybe and 
maybe not.  If so, it is related like a Campo is from the same fall as 
the Campos.  Good Campos....Bad Campos.

10.  Is Larry's meteorite an Adamana meteorite or a Holbrook meteorite?  
It was found in the Holbrook strewnfield and there are no missing pieces 
off of the Adamana meteorite that could possibly be that big and fully 
crusted.

OK....I hope I answered some questions.  Back to lurking now...

Dave
