[sac-board] Re: [EVAC] Re: Re: [EVAC Cabinet 2005] All Arizona this or that

I concur with most of this, and would remind that the current events 
SITE is NEAR Arizona City, on the Ray Farnsworth Ranch property.  We 
meet there at the pleasure of Mr. Farnsworth, I believe, and probably 
acknowledge that, but NOT drag him into any discussion about names.  
Many years ago, the groups were (not exzactly legally) using a dis-used 
property at a defunct subdivision a little closer to Arizona City 
(Silverbell Acres I think is the name).
We all need some help from our friends!
