Hi Gregory,   I agree.  Neat photos.  Thanks for sharing.   Do you know what part of the building was on the other side of that wall with the giant hole?   -Walter ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Jose Campos To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 5:54 PM Subject: Fw: [meteorite-list] Directions to American Meteorite Museum Hi Gregory,   Tks for sharing your pics. The one of the Museum in its heydey is certainly a most interesting document of historical info!   José Campos  Portugal   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 6:28 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Directions to American Meteorite Museum  [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone have good instructions on how to locate the old museum?  Do we need to contact anyone about prowling the property? The ruins of the museum are impossible to miss, once you've turned gotten to the Meteor Crater exit from the highway.  As you head off the highway and begin to go toward the crater, there will be a gas station on your right, and a road that leads toward the fully-visible Museum ruins on your left.  That old road toward the Museum is (barely) paved, and it may or may not be actual Route 66 pavement.  Nininger's Museum was always advertised as being right on Route 66 but I'm still unsure if the road from the gas station to the Museum is actually a remnant of "The Mother Road" or not.   As to permission/accessibility, I've heard various reports -- it seems to depend on whom you talk to.  When I went there for the first time, I had been told in advance that the Museum ruins were on private property and trespassers would be prosecuted if caught.  However, in chatting with employees of that nearby gas station, they said, "Sure, no problem, go on up and take a look."     So I did.   ;-)   The Museum in its heyday:   http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/AMM.jpg   And the way it looks now (with the rim of the crater in the distance)   http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/AMM2.jpg http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/AMM3.jpg   Have fun!      Gregory J.
