Hi Peter, Hi Andrew
I visited the same crater about 4 years ago. I stayed in Flagstaff overnight. Visited several stores selling 'Alien Rocks"
Also went through the Petrified Forest. I found the USA a very interesting place to visit.
Las Vegas, The Canyon. I still have not been to Yellowstone.

There were some large meteorite specimens I saw. Some which would need a larger display cabinet or better internal support. The weight of them would smash through to the floor. Stay with the small interesting stuff Andrew.

Oh! Yes, must mention this. I toured USA with my Son. His name is Andrew.
He is now a Blackhawk pilot in the US army.

Cheers

Hi Marty,

Sure is an interesting place Marty. I am planning on going back in 2015, hopefully, and probably for 3 months next time, as six weeks was just not long enough. And yes, Yellowstone is top of my new list, followed by a train journey into the Canadian Rockies to Banff, then back to Seattle and across the top of the US to visit Stellafane again. It was just so much fun, I just want to do it again! Although, depending on timing and work, I may do the Texas Star Party instead.

Cheers Pete
