[sac-forum] Re: plain old observing?

Hi Chris,

I-17 North to exit 278 Hwy 169 Cherry Rd.
Go west about 5 miles, just beyond marker 10.
There is a sign which says "Cherry 6".
Turn left (south).
Note: This is the opposite way the arrow on the sign points.
You will be on a pretty well-maintained dirt road, however, there are some natural speed bumps, so drive slow. The site is located 0.5 mile south of the hard surfaced Cherry Road. The observing field is a large meadow to your right (west) thru a gate. It is marked with the traditional Boy Scout rock marker, i.e., several rocks stacked on top of each other at the turn off.
Unfortunately, Bob and I will miss as we have an evening wedding to attend.

Dan,
I plan on going to Cherry II also; however, I'm not sure I have the exact location down. I do have coords for "Cherry Hill" thanks to Andrew. Are they one in the same? If not, any information someone could provide would help me greatly. My mental stability is riding on this observing session. Well, not really but even my wife says I "need" to go observing to unwind a little. One more quick question: Is it kosher to set up a tent for the night at Cherry II? With moonrise being somewhere around 3-3:00am it would be nice to just crash on site for a few hours before returning home. 
Again, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris (new guy from WI)

I hope that somebody besides me will resist the lure of the potluck for some just-plain-observing at Cherry II. I'm eager to observe M 150 among 
the other choice objects on AJ's list.
