Camp Wood, Texas
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. That stone warrants a later update.
-
- Flipped.
-
- The last evening…
