Ken, here are the directions to the Saddle Mt site.  Note the GPS coordinates 
are same as your middle one below.  Please be sure to check the destructions, 
er instructions.  Note the dip and cattle guard crossing have been fixed.


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 Roadhas become 383rd Ave.**
 
Drive west on Elliot Rd for 5 miles until you reach mile marker zero.  The road 
turns sharply right then the pavement ends and a wide dirt road begins.  Drive 
4 miles on the dirt road to mile marker 11.  Turn left and drive 0.3 miles, 
there is a wide opening on the left side of the road.  There is a white rock 
marker on the left and room for lots of telescopes.  Altitude 1030 Ft.   N 33 
21.465   W 113 02.323

  Rick, 

  I have not been to the Saddle Mountain site in over a year. I am finding that 
there are differing coordinates and directions as to it's location. For some 
reason the map on the SAC site does not show on my computer. The Coordinates 
referenced  are 


  N 33 21.863, W 113 01.904   
  N 33 21.465  W 113 02.323
  N 33 21.150  W 112 59.758  (when I was there last)

  Ken



    Ken,

     

    Andrew Goodwin, Steve Rogers & I will be there.
