I'd like to get in touch with the astronomers that had something to do with the Vekol Rest Area because I have some information that was passed on about development to the southwest of SACs Cherry Rd. site. It is a land swap deal between the BLM and a company named Aranda Properties, and includes parcels around Dewey, Humbolt and Mayer. The "intended" use of the parcel is for "...ranching, rural residential development on 20 to 40 acre ranchettes and/or possibleuse for youth camps or as donations to charitable groups." I have been trying to get in touch with several people over the last few days and have not received any response; hence the request for people that were involved with the Vekol Rd site.
