Here are some photos from our trip to pick up Camp Wood, a 326 lb. iron meteorite from a town of the same name, near San Antonio, Texas.  We took our time on the drive back, and found a few more meteorites along the way.


The Alamo, San Antonio


Riverwalk, San Antonio


Local mention of commissioner Guy Hutcherson, the finder of the meteorite












It sat there for some 40 years...


The finders removed ~28 grams from the top edge.  That sample was used for analysis and the iron remains as shown.  




Sorry, no photos of actually moving it.  Everyone's hands were full.. 




White Sands, New Mexico. Do I see another meteorite hunter on the list!?


One of the trip's two finds.  The other stone looked funny, and Peter didn't want to waste time with taking photos, but we did record coordinates for both finds. 




The last evening...
