[sac-forum] Re: Viewing sites for Saturday, September 27th

Thanks for all the replies.  I'm coming from Ahwatukee and didn't want to drive 
100 miles to find an empty site.  
 
The last time I was at Vekol road I was stopped by a sheriff on the way out who 
wanted to know what I was doing in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the 
night.  I told him and offered to let him look in my car and trunk which he 
did.  We had a short but friendly conversation after that and he asked how many 
more people were there, how often we did it, etc..  I asked him what the issue 
was and he said it was a corridor for illegals and for drug trafficking.  
Apparently they come North through that corridor to I-8.  
 
Gulp!  I decided I would prefer to look a bit further North.  Count me in 
for the antenna site on Saturday.  Thanks for the great directions too.

I was looking at the SAC September 2008 calendar and it lists the "SAC Star 
Party at Saddle Mountain".  The posts in sac-forum are talking about either 5 
Mile Meadow or Antenna site with the consensus being Antenna site.   

I typically go to Boyce Thompson or to Vekol Road for deep star weekend.  I 
haven't been to Saddle Mountain, 5 Mile Meadow, or the Antenna site though.  
I'd like to attend one of these sites on Saturday, September 27th but I'm 
looking for guidance as to which of them is the best candidate.  I'll be 
bringing an XT10i dob.

Thanks in advance
Steve
