Glad to hear that someone is going to Cherry road. I will be in Prescott all 
day Saturday and antenna's was too far a shot for me to make it. Besides I 
already have 1000+ road miles under my belt for the week (Durango, Co and 
surrounding area for vacation) so I'm getting a wee bit tired of driving. 
I'll try to see you guy's there...

Howdy all;


AJ, Dave Fredericksen and I are going to try Cherry Road for this weekend.
Dave can't make it a two nighter, but AJ and I can.so we will.  Hoping that
the storms will stay in the Rim Country and we can have some good viewing
with the lightening far in the distance.



We would love for any of you to join us, I will put the directions at the
end of this message.  It might be a little "buggy" so bring that OFF or
Cutter's or whatever you use to keep the critters from chewing on your body.
Hopefully, it will be a little "starry" also.



See ya there;

Steve Coe





Cherry Road site Directions



N 34d 30.864'  W 112d 05.140'

Elev.  4360 ft.



Drive north on I-17 about 70 miles from central Phoenix to the Cherry Road
exit.  This is state highway 169.  Turn left over the freeway to the west
and go about 5 miles, just beyond mile marker number 10.  At the sign which
says "Cherry 6" turn south onto a dirt road.  Note:  this is the opposite
direction of the arrow that is on the sign.  The observing site is about
6/10 of a mile south on the dirt road on the left, a rather large field.  It
is one of the few places where the dirt birm on the edge of the road will
allow you to drive off the road.
