[AZ-Observing] Re: Observing tonight?

Paul
      Here are the directions to the site for tonight, hope to see you 
there..............Joe
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.

Anyone,

Please fill me in.  I need a decoder ring to all the western sites.  Are you
thinking of going to Hovatter Rd, and to which site, north or south?  Or to
KOFA, and where the devil is KOFA? (I've been there once but old age is
wiping out my memory.)
