I'm a little familiar with this area....I can tell you this much, if anyone
found a meteorite in that area, they are very lucky indeed. there are lots
of mountains Just North and West of that area. And to the East and South East
of Little Lake it is a big Military Air Force Bombing range. Little Lake is
right next to Highway 395...I believe in this area it follows a narrow
valley for a long ways with mountains on both sides. This might have to be
chalked up as a loss...but?
