[AZ-Observing] Re: Hovatter this weekend

To the site north of I-10:

Directions from Phoenix with GPS coords:

 West on I-10 to Hovatter Exit.  North 1.8 miles, take turnoff to left
(at N 33 deg 38.324m; W 113 deg 36.766m).   West 2.3 miles to
cattleguard (N 33d 39.083; W 113d 38.785m).  Turn right after crossing
cattle guard (as in start your turn while exiting the cattle guard).
Good observing sites begin on the left as soon as you pass where a track
takes off to the west.  Our little spot is about BD mile north of the
cattle guard at (N 33d 39.570m; W 113d 38.629m).

Weather permitting of course, (fingers crossed) I'll most likely see ya there.
Also mentioned a couple weeks ago was a Hovatter road site North of I-10.
Unfortunately, I must have deleted that information.  Anyone thinking of going
there?

  Well;


There are several really cloudy things off the coast that might effect
viewing the sky this weekend. I think I will wait until Friday to decide
what I am going to do. I would like to try the new spot to the south on
Hovatter road. I will include the directions below. But, like I said, I
will decide Friday. Dave Fredericksen and I found this spot several months
ago and would like to try it as a club site, but the weather just has not
allowed it.



Hoping for the best;

Hovatter Road "Antennas" site






North


This site is 100 miles from central Phoenix. Drive west on I-10 to the
Hovatter Road exit; that is exit number 53. This is about 40 miles past the
Palo Verde nuclear power plant. At the end of the off ramp, turn left over
the freeway and drive over the canal and then the road takes a sharp right
and the pavement ends at a "dead end" sign. Turn left at the sign and you
will be headed directly toward some radio and cell phone antennas. After
you pass the antennas the road takes a sharp right and makes its way through
a wash or stream gulley; then the road levels off for half a mile before you
pass into a second gulley. As soon as you come out of the second gulley the
observing site is on your left. It is a large desert pavement that is
exactly 2 miles from the I-10 freeway.
