   For a PDF map to the Antenna site check our website funder Maps. It also
cantines Garmin data base files to the sites.

        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.

        Steve

                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
