OK, we can at least talk about observing; It is Thursday morning and the sky is clear, so I am going to at least discuss the possibility of going to Cherry Road for the weekend. I know the Monsoons all too well to discuss a more distant trip. I like having the ability to pack up and go home if the skies darken. So, that is my plan, Saturday at Cherry Road, and Friday is a maybe......I think getting a two-nighter is bit much to ask. Directions to the Cherry Road West observing site Take I-17 north for about 70 miles from Phoenix. Take the Cherry Road exit and turn left (west) over the freeway. This is also Hwy. 169. Go west about 5 miles, just beyond mile marker 10. There is a sign which says "Cherry 6", at the sign turn left (south). Note: this is the opposite way that the arrow on the sign points. You will be on a pretty well-maintained dirt road. However, there are some natural speed bumps, so drive slow. The site is located 5/10 of a mile south of the hard surface of Cherry Road. The observing field is on the right, through a gate. Please keep this cattle gate closed. See ya there; Steve Coe --- This message is from the AZ-Observing mailing list.
