[sac-forum] Re: Cherry road directions

Stan,

I was up at Cherry Rd may 7th and although the grade at the entrance was a
fairly substantial bump, I got in with not problems in my Saturn. Again, I'm
the teat article for sedan access :)

Unfortunately, Astronomy wise anyway, I won't be able attend the May 28th
gathering at Cherry Rd. as celebrating my wedding anniversary is preferable
to divorce :)

Stan;

I think that the road side grading issue was resolved, but I honestly don't
know.  I thought that someone went up to the site and found that the
entrance to the usual Cherry Road site was accessible for the family sedan.
At least, that is how I remember it.  

Glad to see that you got a map and my directions.

Steve

Steve,
I noticed in the April newsletter that it has directions to get to the 
Cherry site. Of course, I still needed to know if it was still on go 
given the grading issue that was talked about a month ago or so. You 
answered that question by implication when you gave me directions to get 
to the site. I found an old email message for the March newsletter (I 
don't know if I received the email message for April) and saw that by 
changing the pdf name from 0305 to 0405 I could electronically bring up 
the April newsletter. I saved it as a pdf file. It has a map and the 
same directions you gave. If Paul Rothove doesn't indicate that he was 
contacted by a club member I will email this to him.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You are the only one, at least up to 
now, who responded to my message.
Stan
