[meteorite-list] Giant Meteorite Update

[Raremeteorites]

Dear List Members,

Many are asking how Team LunarRock's June expedition went, especially the 
suspected "giant meteorite."

We tried to get to the "giant meteorite" site but were mired down in several 
feet thick mud and other obstacles.  We got to within a couple of miles of 
it but were chased off by intense lightning storms, flash floods, hail and a 
funnel cloud.   I will post images if anybody is interested once I am able 
to take care of several other pressing issues.

We will make another attempt this September if anybody is interested in 
joining in.  We chose June on this attempt because it was supposed to be the 
driest month of the year.  Unfortunately, no amount of planning can take 
into account bad weather.  There is nothing more disappointing than 
observing massive and pristine "dry" lake beds that are wet.  We did 
successfully make it to three other sites but were mostly unproductive, as 
far as meteorites go, but did recover some rarities and other real treasure 
that made the undertaking worthwhile.  I will provide a field report once I 
am caught up.

I consider this 1,700 mile expedition a success based on both excitement and 
adventure, not to mention the acquisition of some real treasure.

Best Regards,

Adam
