John;

Taken at the sphinx about 90 minutes ago. The stone is now at the base on the sphinx.

Hugh: thank you for the stone and the opportunity to contribute.

I'm now resting after a 42 degress C mid-day trek. Oh my.

Cheers

Hi John,

How are things going?

I promised you last time that my wife was going to place the Sam stone I got from you in Tibet. However her trip this summer has been postponed because of the recent events in Tibet (all tourists were banned from entering Tibet).  Recently, we went to Colorado and we visited this beautiful lake near the Continental Divide. It's such a tranquil place inside San Juan National Forest.
So I placed the Sam stone near the lake shore. The GPS loc is: 37°31'20.00"N, 107°13'33.00"W. I took a picture and a panorama. (The mountains are taller than they appeared in the picture).  My wife still plans to visit Tibet during the winter break. If you can send me another Sam stone,  she would like to place it on the Tibet plateau.

Best Regards,

Frank Liu

While working on the mountain at Waterville Valley New Hampshire I
found a SamStone on the ground in our Exhibition terrain park. For
now it is in my office until I find a better place for it.

You can add the capital of Belarus to your map.  Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera to capture the event.

Dear John,

today we placed the first Samstone you kindly gave me in JNB in our stone garden, tight here in the middle of the map. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Wadenswil,+Obere+Leihofstrasse+69&sll=47.222441,8.66592&sspn=0.000661,0.001039&ie=UTF8&ll=47.222437,8.665924&spn=0.000661,0.001039&t=h&z=20
And here is a picture of the surroundings and view of the place with Sam's stone on the bottom left..
Placing the other two will take some more time as we are not planning to go there soon but I will keep you posted/

Kind regards / Freundliche Grüsse / Cordialement

Phil
