[AZ-Observing] Re: Leonid Viewing Sites

> Drive West out I-10 to the Vicksburg Rd. Exit.  That is exit 45, which
means it is about 100 miles from central Phoenix.    All we can do is go try
it.


All,

I'm game for trying this, but one thing to consider.....being that far from
Phoenix and a first time use means that there will be even more late
arrivals than usual.  (I for one can't leave any earlier than around 3:30,
which would put me there about sunset I think....)  You'd have late arrivals
anywhere, so I don't imagine this is too big a deal.  Does anyone care to
estimate how big the light dome to be?  Anyone think it'll be a hinderance?
The truck stop shouldn't be a problem, heck, the light from the farmhouse at
AZ City is only 3/4 a mile away, and it's not a problem.  Given Steve's and
AJ's past record of site finding, I'm confident that the site is up for the
task......Any other opinions/issues?
