Steve, was't the Sentinael Schwaar Gaze held in the beginning of March last year? Seems we have a precedent. Since the currently scheduled weekend is my wife's birthday, I wouln't be able to attend, so obviously for that reason and the 100 degree temps, I'll say move it on up. Also that weekend there is a star party near Kartchner Caverns.

I know that we have never (I don't remember) had Sentinel first, but I really hate to stretch it out to the first weekend in May. It is very hot at Sentinel in May. So, if there are no violent ravings, let's move Sentinel to the last of Feb and first of March for next year. Let me know your opinions.
