Randy,

Just looking at the map, it appears that SAC's Flat Iron site is near the
centerline of the path.  Perhaps somebody more ambitious than me can plot a
large-scale map of that site on the path.  This would be only an hour from
the airport, and a bit more likely to be clear this time of year than
Cherry Road.  And if you're after an even better chance of clear sky, it
looks like it goes over Sentinel.  Ahh, nothing like Sentinel in July.
