[sac-forum] Site off of Courthouse Road

Howdy SAC;

 

AJ and I did some looking around for a site for the club to use and we have
a prospect.  The good news is that it is only half a mile of dirt road and
an easy drive off the freeway.  The bad news is that is overlooks the
freeway in the distance.  But, Palo Verde nuclear plant and some of the
lights of Phoenix appear to be blocked to the east.  We will try and get a
trip out there once the Moon is out of the sky an see what we can see.  This
is definitely going to be an easier drive than the Dirt Blvd. Site.  AJ was
able to see the opening (a large desert pavement) that we found using the
Google Earth software.

Directions to Courthouse Road Site

 

Take I-10 west to the Tonopah exit, Exit 94 or 411th Ave.  Turn left (south)
over the freeway and travel 2.5 miles to a stop sign at Salome Road.  Turn
right (west) onto Salome Road and drive 5.2 miles to a fork at Courthouse
Road.  Take the left fork onto Courthouse Road and drive 2.2 miles to a dirt
road to the left.  The dirt road is 0.2 miles past mile marker 13 on
Courthouse Road.  After turning south onto the dirt road drive for 0.5 miles
and there is an opening on the left, this desert pavement is marked with a
pile of rocks and a tree stump.
