Andrew, you bring up a good question about weed wackers for the AAMM. So
far, over the years we and EVAC, have been using the site there has never
been any weeds, save a few small patches of what looks like grass, on the
observing field. I'm planning on speaking with Ray Fransworth a few days
before the event and will put that question on the list for him. Will
reportresults here.
Hoping for clear skies,
aj

weekend on a hike to see how the wildflowers. Still a little early for the
Tucson area with our slightly higher elevation, I think the peak is still a
couple weeks out, but still worth a hike to see the early flowers like
bladderpod. Clearly low elevation Sentinel is in full bloom, hard to belive
an area that normally appears so desolate can be so lush with a little rain.
