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. June 2006.
First stop: the Alamo!
Riverwalk, San Antonio
Local mention of commissioner Guy Hutcherson, the finder of the meteorite.

Main street, Camp Wood!
It sat there for some 40 years…
Sorry, no photos of actually moving it. Everyone’s hands were full..
Main street again.
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. It turned out to be a lodranite!
