Glorieta Mountain  |  April 2007
 
I went to Glorieta Mountain in New Mexico with Bob Haag, Montana Bob, Matt Moran, Greg Hupe, Mike Farmer and several other meteorite freaks.

We spent about a week on the mountain, like a swarm of locusts, detecting up and down the slopes and mesas.

A few smaller specimens were found on day one, but I found the motherlode on day two. 4.83kg, with olivine showing.

On the last day Bob and Greg also found very nice specimens, with a lot of olivine showing.

All in all a very satisfying adventure!
