Ken, sounds great and I look forward to seeing you and anyone else that is
able to make it. Another possibility is Andrew Goodwin, but he won't know
for another couple of hours or so. I certainly hope he is able to make it.

Change of plans. I think I'll Saddle Mountain instead of Antenna since I'm
only doing it for one night. See you out there this evening.

Anyone interested in an all nighter Friday night at Saddle Mountain? I would
like to do the Saddle Mt but need some folks there besides myself. Would
liketo observe all night, crash and sleep for a few hours and return home
Saturday morning. Believe me Antennas sounds better but is to far for a one
nighter and can't do a Friday Saturday night. Sooo, what say you? If
Antennasis to far and Friday night is best why not SM. Here are the
directionto the new Saddle Mountain site - Drive west on I-10 to the
Wintersburg Rd. Exit, this is Exit 98. Turn left (south) over the freeway
andyou 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 Road
hasbecome 383rd Ave.** Drive west on Elliot Rd for 5 miles until you reach
mile marker zero. Careful as you drive along Elliot Rd. there is a severe
dipand a cattle guard that needs to be taken at a SLOW speed. The road turn
sharply right, but you go straight onto a dirt road with telephone poles on
the left side. There are two dips to negotiate, the second is the most
severe. Just as you come out of the second dip there is a 45 degree angle
road to the right, take it. This dirt road is wide and pretty smooth, it
doesNOT have the telephone poles on its left side. After cresting a small
hill travel a total of 0.6 miles from the turn. There is a white rock marker
on the left and room for lots of telescopes. AJ Crayon Phoenix, AZ -- See
