[AZ-Observing] Re: Sentinel next weekend

Steve et al: My wife and I may join the bunch for all three days -- will
finalize plans tonight. 

Aside to Bill re what to do during the day: There are lots of interesting=

things to do in the desert on winter days: hiking, photography, play with=

ham radio gear (good time for 15-meter transequatorial skip), read books,=

go exploring (my son and I like exploring trails on ATVs), etc. Sleeping
is always good too. :-)
