Howdy all

     There are a few people keeping track of the Coloma/Lotus/SM 
meteorite fall with maps, and let me give a hat tip to Peter Jenniskens 
for keeping up with the meteorites. He has a regularly updated list of 
these meteorites with masses and find locations:

     I've assembled these and a few others into a strewn field map:

     I've been chafing to get up there myself but have been restrained 
to hunting vicariously through others. I'll get up there, but I wanted 
to point out that there is a lot of area on that map with no finds, and 
that most of the finds seem to be close to trails and roads. Looks to me 
like there's still quite a lot of material waiting to be found...!

Cheers,
Marc Fries
