[sac-forum] Friday Night at Saddle Mt

Anyone interested in an all nighter Friday night at Saddle Mountain?  I would 
like to do the Saddle Mt but need some folks there besides myself.  Would like 
to observe all night, crash and sleep for a few hours and return home Saturday 
morning.

Believe me Antennas sounds better but is to far for a one nighter and can't do 
a Friday Saturday night.

Sooo, what say you?  If Antennas is to far and Friday night is best why not SM.

Here are the direction to the new Saddle Mountain site - 

Drive west on I-10 to the Wintersburg Rd. Exit, this is Exit 98.  Turn left 
(south) over the freeway and you will be driving directly toward the domes of 
the Palo Verde Power Station.  Drive for 9.1 miles until you reach a "T" at 
Elliot Rd.  Turn right (west) on Elliot Rd.  ** For the return trip, notice 
that Wintersburg Road has become 383rd Ave.**  Drive west on Elliot Rd for 5 
miles until you reach mile marker zero.  Careful as you drive along Elliot Rd. 
there is a severe dip and a cattle guard that needs to be taken at a SLOW 
speed.  The road turn sharply right, but you go straight onto a dirt road with 
telephone poles on the left side.  There are two dips to negotiate, the second 
is the most severe.  Just as you come out of the second dip there is a 45 
degree angle road to the right, take it.  This dirt road is wide and pretty 
smooth, it does NOT have the telephone poles on its left side.  After cresting 
a small hill travel a total of 0.6 miles from the turn.  There is a white rock 
marker on the left and room for lots of telescopes.
