Thanks to David, Jan, Steve and Rosie for the quick response, not the
mention how well the roads are. In the past Ray Farnsworth has said he
graded the roads before the AAMM to make sure they were passable. I'll be
sure to ask him this Saturday. How lucky we are to have someone like him.
We should all try to thank him when possible.
Looking forward to a great observing weekend and a great AAMM.

Rosie and I are back, too. I concur with David, the roads are great. The
usual bad spots are no worse than I've ever seen them, and completely
passable. There was one spot north of Silver Bells Estates that had water
in the road in a dip, but nothing too dramatic. I was suprised how good the
road between the firlds and viewing area was! Seems the rain actually
helped that situation.
So, it should be great!
