[meteorite-list] Secret BLM maps

[Greg Catterton]

I think its a good thing for them to do also.
Too many wonderful areas end up ruined due to someone thinking they have a right to simply destroy or steal something that is amazing to many.
Pure greed and selfishness are the route of it.

I have been enjoying the links, pictures and discussions on this.
