George, All, I agree - it sounds good (something *is* better than nothing), but the trouble is that we simply ran into a brick wall with many of them. We'd call and they'd just say 'not interested' and hang up. Or tell us that it was private property and to shove off. Admittedly, we only had the local police called on us once - but that was for looking for meteorites on public grassy land outside of a fenced-off public water-storage facility. Apparently they thought we were going to poison the wells, or some such thing... The simple unwillingness of the locals to even talk to us was something I've never seen before. The flier we left in a local convenience store was even removed shortly after we put it up...it was simply open hostility. Jason
