[AZ-Observing] Re: Star Party Rental cabin/home needed

There is a place just outside Mayer (~15mi west of I-17 & Cordes 
Junction on Rt 69). They have several cabins and I think a 
restaurant. They used to have an observatory on one of the hills. 
This leads me to believe they are astronomy friendly. The elevation 
is close to 5,000. It's pretty dark in that area as it's over 100 
miles north of Phoenix and 20 miles from Prescott.  I don't know the 
name of the place, but if you are interested I can stop and find out 
the next time I go up that way.
