[Rockhounds] bronze "fulgurite"

That's interesting, Alan; cool that you were involved in placing that plaque.? I wonder if that was really lightning; hard to imagine, it would just affect the "w" in the middle of the plaque, who knows (one of the bolt heads looks different than the rest, too)...

Sorry for coming in late, been away...  Anyhow, here's an interesting
picture of a bronze plaque I placed on a Colorado mountain in July 1987,
taken 16 years later to the day by a friend.  Note the anomalous damage
to the "w" on the plaque.  Best I can figure, this was due to a
lightning strike.
