[meteorite-list] Be Careful - It is hot!

[Greg Hupe]

The temp in Florida this time of year is perfect... For diving in some  
of the rivers for fossils... That is if you don't mind hunting in  
black water!! I need something to hunt here since meteorites are  
pretty well off the huntable list in Florida. :-) Taking a little time  
over the next week to scout out some rivers in northern Florida and  
Georgia, so far pretty fun!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe
