Bolidechaser's Holbrook Trip Log: |
On the Road to Holbrook Strewn Field, South of Sun Valley, AZ - much of this strewn field is on the Puercos River floodplain:
Majority of strewn field, is between these R/R signal lights on both sides of these tracks:
Except for some guys working on the Santa Fe Railroad tracks, I met no one while I was hunting in the strewn field:
Blowouts are a great place to look for meteorites, but all I found were artifacts of jasper, pottery, bone, and lead:
Field modification - original design had this large magnet bolted behind the wheel - this wasn't working, so a field mod moved the magnet to the front:
Be sure to stop at Stewart's Petrified Wood & Meteorites: |
| No excuse to leave Holbrook without an L6 or a Canyon Diablo. STEWART's is just 9 miles east of the strewn field and just north of Adamana at Exit 303: |
Bolidechaser travels on to Meteor Crater and Gold Basin to complete the "hat trick" within 24 hours! |
This is the last (micro) meteorite that I found at 5PM, May 4th. |
Pieces of iron shale that I found in the road at Meteor Crater.  |
A sliver of L4 that I found on the berm of the road at Gold Basin before 5PM, May 6th.  |
