[AZ-Observing] Re: I'll give it a try

Steve, I'm also thinking of giving Saddle Mt a try and have a friend that 
wants to come along.  I've checked the satellite images and it indicates 
mostly cloudy.  If you want give this site a try
http://www.atmo.arizona.edu/products/wximagery/azvis.html
then give me a call and let me know your thoughts.

I posted on SAC forum and, so far, no one has responded - either way.  Leads 
me to believe no one is planning on going out tonight.

Well;

I think I will try Saddle Mt. tonight.  It looks like we will at least
have some big holes in the clouds.  I can deal with that.

Here are the directions if someone needs them.

See ya;
Steve Coe

Directions to Saddle Mt. Site

Altitude 1030 Ft.   N 33 21.465   W 113 02.323

Drive west on I-10 to the Wintersburg Rd. Exit, this is Exit 98.  Turn
left (south) over the freeway and you will be driving directly toward the
domes of the Palo Verde Power Station.  Drive for 9.1 miles until you
reach a "T" at Elliot Rd.  Turn right (west) on Elliot Rd.

** For the return trip, notice that Wintersburg Road has become 383rd Ave.**

Drive west on Elliot Rd for 5 miles until you reach mile marker zero.  The
road turns sharply right then the pavement ends and a wide dirt road
begins.  Drive 4 miles on the dirt road to mile marker 11.  Turn left and
drive 0.3 miles, there is a wide opening on the left side of the road.
There is a white rock marker on the left and room for lots of telescopes.
