Who knows what we could find there ! In keeping with the limitations set by Mark, I would go on an extended tour of the Canadian Prairies. There are a lot of meteorites still undiscovered in the Alberta-Saskatchewan-manitoba belt (we do discover a couple every year or so). Indeed, a great portion of the known Canadian meteorites were found by farmers working on their land. Besides, I *love* visiting the Prairies.
