At this point, I'm tending to agree with Rick. We can look at 5MM later in
the season if the forest opens. As the week progresses we can see if a quick
trip somewhere may be in the cards, but at this point, planning a major
event is just not going to be worth the effort. 

So, if new glass bring moistons, would a new battery bring smoke? It's
always something.

Looks like "Partly Cloudy" for the weekend at both sites anyway!

May as well throw in the towel...stay home, save gas, do honey-do's.
Sigh...

At this juncture, I see two alternatives, both of which have been mentioned
in previous posts:
1) Cherry II:=20
        Pros: Closer in, Higher elevation (read Cooler)
        Cons: IN the PNF, as Jeff pointed out may close as well, Not as Dark
2) The Towers (AKA Hovatter Rd):=20
        Pros: Dark Skies close to 5 Mile Meadow
        Cons: HOT, Farther Out, HOT

Anyone else have any alternatives?

Let me know soon and we'll make a decision and post it to AZ -observing.
