Hi Randall,

Thanks for the information. Would it be ok if I stay at your friends
house? Will I need my own detector?

Thanks,
Your little Amigo ( Sonny )

Sonny,

Fly to Arequipa. Take a taxi to the terraporto (bus station). Buy a
ticket for Aplao at the bus station. When you get to Aplao, take a taxi
to El Castillo. Take a minimum of 15 liters of water and some food. I
would recommend night hunting. Plan on walking 45 kilometers in a
westerly direction from the village of El Castillo. Plan on some
serious mountain climbing. And whatever you do, don't tell anyone where
you're going. And don't worry the condors will find your carcass sooner
or later ;) Just tell me where you want the bones sent.

Randall

Hi Randall,

I have friends in Peru. It would be great to hunt meteorites at the
crater. Would you have any more information for me? What would be a
good time to hunt the area?

Thanks,
Sonny

Information is expected to be released in April on the Earth Impact
Database that will give the exact coordinates to the Peruvian meteorite
crater. I have been warned that meteorite hunters will want to turn
this site upside down. If anyone wishes to hunt at this site please
contact me and we can discuss.

Should anyone think about hunting without contacting me. I want you to
understand that
I have paperwork filing with the Peruvian government giving me mining
concession rights to the crater and 100 sq. hectares surrounding the
crater. It is a routine matter and approval is expected soon. Even with
paperwork pending I still have legal rights here in Peru. I am serious
about wanting to keep this crater in pristine condition until
scientists have had the opportunity to study it in detail.

Peruvian law has very strict laws concerning trespassing, especially
when it concerns mines. I will not hesitate to prosecute and trust me,
American jails would be considered luxury resorts compared to South
American jails. Your sustenance will consist of beans, potatoes, and
rice and maybe a piece of chicken if you're lucky. You might get 1
piece of fruit per week. You will have to drink the local water.
Diarrhea will be your constant companion. I guarantee you will have
non-stop nightmares all night every night. I know the system and I will
make every attempt to lengthen your stay. There are ways to block your
attempts to contact the American embassy.

There is currently a standing reward for reporting to the police, any
meteorite hunter that may wander into this area. The reward is
equivalent to 6 months income for most of the poor people of this
area. They are now watchful and vigilant. The towns of Aplao and
Castillo are small. Everybody knows everybody and I have many friends
in each. All relevant police agencies have been notified by my Peruvian
attorney.

My advice, don't even think about it. Alternatively, if you want to
hunt at the crater, I am open to discussion, but only after scientific
studies have been completed.

Randall
