[AZ-Observing] Lunar Eclipse Plans?

I wondered what the eclipse viewing options near Phoenix are for 
Wednesday.  I am aware of two options: EVAC's event at the Gilbert 
Riparian Preserve and the Arizona Science Center's public viewing in 
downtown Phoenix.  Are there any other options at the edge of town where 
the eclipsed moon would be seen against a darker sky?  Since it will be in 
the east-southeast, I am thinking about locations such as Picketpost 
Mountain trailhead or somewhere along the Beeline Highway near Four Peaks.

Weather is not looking favorable, by the way.  Let's hope the NWS is 
predicting the arrival of rain too early, as they did last week.

Also, I wonder how times in the past decade or so has the moon risen (or 
set) during a partial eclipse as seen from Arizona.  Sure seems like a lot 
of times.
