Rick, I'm up for a recon trip, but not next Saturday. That is, of course, the
mirror casting trip to Tucson.
Let's chat more about this after this week, okay?
And Tom, your excellent imagery of Fredericksen's Meadow and the limiting lines
is helpful. It appears a SMALL party could still set up at the north tip of the
meadow, but probably no more than 5 or 6 astronomers?

All,
At the meeting Friday, I mentioned a possible location I recalled while on a
geocaching trip. The spot is near an abandoned ranch house called T-Bar Ranch,
just east of Apache Maid Mountain. The ranch house itself is an archeological
site, but there is a large meadow to its west. The site appears to be easily
accessible from I-17 off the Stoneman Lake Road exit (about 10 miles). The
Coordinates of the meadow are: N34 43.775 W111 31.900.
Google maps shows the ranch house just to the South east, the road to the site
passes it. The meadow is fairly large, extending up to a spot on the map called
Sue's tank.
I've made a few pdf's of the Garmin topo maps, One a route map from I-17, the
other a close up of the site. I'll send them to al who have responded to the
thread and anyone else who wants one (let me know off list).
It May well be worth a recon trip, I'd certainly be willing to go up and take a
looksee.

Phil;
I am planning on going to the ranger station to get some answers on Monday.
The sketchy info that Don spoke at the meeting was that we could not go out
onto the meadow at all. I do not know if that rule has been in place always or
if it is a brand new rule.
I promise to let you know;
